Barbie Almalbis Tackles Her Bouts with Mental Health on ‘Happy Sad’
Her new song, “Happy Sad,” reflects on her own mental health and the stigma behind it, while helping her process her feelings through writing songs. The alt-pop figure explains, “Sometimes we have to let go of things, and there are just things beyond our control, and we just got to continue, walk in and through the ‘wilderness,’ but I’ve always found hope in God that even through the hard times, He is still doing something good.” Nick Lazaro, who also assisted in arranging the instrumental parts, produced the emotionally vulnerable track. Eclectic Kiss artists such as Pikoy, Marika Laciste, Faye Yu, and Marj Rojas also contributed to the background vocals, adding subtle layers of intricacies to the mix.
