Curb | Word Entertainment's powerhouse vocalist Blanca will unveil her highly anticipated sophomore album Shattered on September 14, 2018. Fans can pre-order the project now via all digital platforms here.

Following the release of the album, Blanca will be touring the country with friend and fellow artist Mandisa on Mandisa's Girls Night Live Tour, which also features Jasmine Murray and Candace Payne (viral sensation "Chewbacca Mom"). The extraordinary night is aimed at strengthening female community. Visit www.officialblanca.com for a full list of tour dates.

Shattered is produced by Jason Ingram and Paul Mabury (Lauren Daigle), Tedd T (for KING & COUNTRY), COBRA (Lecrae, KB, Hollyn), Bernie Herms (Natalie Grant, Danny Gokey), Jordan Sapp (Tauren Wells, Jordan Feliz, Aaron Cole), Jeff Sojka, Josh Zegan (Stars Go Dim, Mat Kearney), Tommee Profitt (NF, Fleurie) and features artists Redimi2 and Tye Tribbett. The upcoming album has 14 tracks including the Latin songstress' current single "What If". The pop track is impacting Hot AC/CHR radio.

A second generation Puerto Rican, the native New Yorker's next album focuses on moving forward and healing one's heart after losing her mother last year to breast cancer.

"My main focus with this new album was honesty," shares Blanca. "I want people to be drawn in through the emotion and sincerity of the lyrics, and feel as if they are right there with me. Though we are all on different journeys in life, the music is what connects us. Their healing is my healing and my pain is their pain."

Shattered is the follow-up to the former Group 1 Crew member's explosive self-titled debut in 2015, which garnered two #1 radio singles, "Who I Am" and "Not Backing Down (feat. Tedashii)," the latter of which was featured on ESPN. Blanca's EP Real Love added a third #1 single to her name to go along with her 25.7 million streams and more than 16.2 million views on YouTube. Most recently, the critically-acclaimed singer performed at the Expolit conference in Florida, a faith-based event where people from all over the world come together in order to unify efforts, learn, teach and create effective alliances for the sole purpose of "Expanding the Kingdom". Blanca connected with her fellow Puerto Rican comrades and other Latin communities, sharing her music, her faith and spiritual journey.
