“Ona” isn’t just another release — it’s a meditation wrapped in melody. Created by Tanicha Lopez and Nova Dre, the track dives deep into the balance between vulnerability and strength.
The song was written during a reflective retreat in Costa Rica, where both artists reconnected with nature and stripped away distractions. You can hear the jungle in the background of certain recordings — literal birds, wind, and ocean waves captured in real time.
The lyrics explore transformation — “I broke to build again” — and the production mirrors that process, starting minimal and blooming into orchestral warmth. Every note feels intentional, every silence heavy with meaning.
“Ona” stands as a statement for Mandala sound: genre-fluid, emotionally charged, and globally inspired. It’s not just about where music is going; it’s about where we’ve always belonged.
