Norma is the sixth studio album by Chilean and Mexican singer Mon Laferte, released on 9 November 2018. The album was published through Universal Music México.

Background

[edit]

Norma is a conceptual album that tells the different stages of love, each song will tell part of a story of the relationship, all of them have a music video. The name Norma comes from the artist's first name (Norma Monserrat Bustamante Laferte), that she did not like but she used it to show that in her life love always follows the same "norma" (norm).[3]

Norma was recorded in a single session at Studio A of Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, California, on 16 June 2018. The recording was made in a single shot, without using the overdubbing technique of layers of audio, but all the instruments playing simultaneously to give the material the sensation of live recording. 13 musicians participated in this recording. Omar Rodríguez-López was in charge of production; the recording engineer was Bruce Botnick.[3][4][5]
