The high-energy dance-pop of Sofía Reyes was recontextualized for the intimate Clive Davis Theater at the GRAMMY Museum last Thursday, March 26. The Mexican singer-songwriter sat down for a session of the museum’s ongoing series “The Drop,” delivering her first live performance of material from IDGAF ERA (postdata), and peeled back the layers behind the music in a conversation with Yanina Oyarzo.
IDGAF ERA, released in August 2025, was born from what Reyes has called her quarter-life crisis, capturing a moment of deep reflection after more than a decade in the industry. A genre-blending mix of Latin pop, dance and global sounds, the 10-track album celebrated empowerment, growth, and not giving a fuck about outside noise.
IDGAF ERA (postdata), out today, April 3, serves as a “P.S.” to this chapter. The deluxe version expands the creative universe of the original album, adding fresh tracks and deeper layers to the themes that defined the 2025 album.

Her GRAMMY Museum performance included stripped-down versions of songs off the 2025 album, like “Saberte Querer” and “De To’” plus new tracks “Yo También,” “Lua,” and “Lo Bueno y Lo Malo.”
Following the event, Sofía Reyes spoke with LA Weekly about why she needed to get these final four songs off her chest and what it meant to introduce the epilogue to this era in the city she calls home.
LA Weekly: This new EP is described as a ‘postdata’ to the IDGAF ERA — was there anything left unsaid in the original album that this EP finally provides a platform for?
Sofía Reyes: The IDGAF ERA experience taught me to embrace all parts of myself and I feel like the (postdata) album sounds so different, but yet, it’s very me, that I felt the need to put it out in the same project, as like, “Hey, I’m both sides, I’m this and I’m that.”
IDGAF ERA is an album that sounds more electronic, it has party songs, and then (postdata) is more intimate, it’s more acoustic, more raw. It’s embracing both sides of me.
And “Lo Bueno y Lo Malo” — it’s a great song to close this chapter because of the meaning of the song, which is basically embracing life and accepting it as good and bad, and also reminding myself that it’s okay to start all over again. So, I think for me it was very important to include these four songs in the same world of IDGAF ERA.

How has turning 30 made you feel lighter or more empowered as both a person and an artist? Any revelations?
I don’t feel like I turned 30 and then, boom, something happened, but I definitely do believe that I feel more clearness — I feel more clear in my path, I know more what I want. I’m not in this, like, chaotic “Who am I? Where do I want to go?” type of place anymore, and I just feel more calm. There’s so many things in my life that I still want to order in so many ways but I definitely feel more calm and with more clarity.
How does it feel to strip high-energy tracks down to an acoustic format for this performance?
It was so special honestly. I once heard someone say that a great song can be played in so many different ways — either acoustic, more stripped down, maybe a different genre. Getting to play with that and bringing songs that might be high-energy to a more acoustic format, is such a creative process that feels so fun and so right.
How do you feel your genre-blending work contributes to the evolving narrative of Latin pop?
I feel like I’m just pop, period, and I’m Latin, period. *Laughs* Just the fact that I am who I am and creating music from my most authentic self really translates into that. I couldn’t be more Latin, I couldn’t be more pop and it just comes out naturally because that’s who I am.
Bringing sounds that for me feel like root, like mis raices — I feel like it’s a great contribution. And also songs that are very vulnerable and human and real.
What does it mean for you to present this new chapter here in LA?
Performing these new four songs for the first time live in LA definitely felt very, very important for me, especially since I haven’t really played my songs live here in LA that much. Of course it’s been my home for so many years, and I have a lot of friends and people I’ve worked with that live here that have never got the chance to see me perform, so it definitely felt like home and very, very special.
