An acoustic EP of Sin Miedo was released on June 4, 2021.[7][8] Uchis officially announced the end of the Sin Miedo era on October 4, 2021, through an Instagram post, the caption was the following: "end of sin miedo era felt cute gracias a dios fue mejor with SZA out nowww".
Background[edit]
In December 2019, Uchis released the intended lead single from the album, "Solita", which would later be demoted to a stand-alone single. In April 2020, the EP, To Feel Alive, was released as Uchis was not able to issue her second studio album. The EP was recorded entirely in isolation amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Uchis announced the album through her social media, alongside its cover art, title, and guest appearances on November 5, 2020.[6]
Uchis compared the creation of Sin Miedo to that of her previous album. "I traveled the world to make both [...] I started production in Miami, then I came to Los Angeles, and then I refined most of the finishes in London."[9] She also had to convince her label about the album, since her contract only allowed her to release music in English.[10]
The title of the album is a reference to the 1994 novel Of Love and Other Demons by the Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez.[11]
