La Belleza is the fourth studio album by Colombian–Canadian musician Lido Pimienta. It was released on May 16, 2025, through Anti Records.[1]
Background
Writing for La Belleza started after Pimienta's tour for Miss Colombia was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
On April 9, 2025, Pimienta announced the release of her studio album La Belleza, along with the first single "Mango".[1] Of the single, Lido Pimienta said it "took me back to my territory, to nature, to my people, to my village, where I watched love unfold all around me. I've always had an aversion to writing love songs - especially if they're about a man".[4]

At Pitchfork, writer Stephanie Fernandez gave the album an eight out of date, describing it as an "acoustic, liberatory record of personal homecoming and ancestral communion where rumbling timpani, portentous strings, and rising and falling woodwinds meet in conversation with claves, drums, and celestial dembow."[2]
