Guatemalan/Italian art pop artist Bird Call, aka Chiara Angelicola, shares her new single and video ‘Pray to the Unknown’.
Chiara Angelicola says “‘Pray to the Unknown’ is an uplifting story for me about the triumphs I’ve experienced in the past five years. After recovering from OCD, experiencing post partum depression after giving birth to my daughter in 2022, and creating this new record, I want to celebrate the strength and community it takes to become an embodied creative woman after birth and through motherhood. There’s so much about parenting that no one advocates for on a systemic level, especially post partum care, often leading so many women to feel a sense of isolation and many to severe complications. The video for Pray to the Unknown is my ode to all mother figures and I aim to shed light on pressing data most people don’t know about the 18 plus months after giving birth, what happens to the woman’s psyche, body, and spirit. It’s the most miraculous and psychedelic experience I’ve ever had and ultimately I could not have walked through it successfully without the patchwork support of other mother figures, family, and friends in my life.”
