Formerly a member of the Christian pop band Group 1 Crew, Christian contemporary artist Blanca has been part of the Christian music scene for years. She released her solo debut album in 2015 and her fourth album, Full Bloom, in 2025. With a blend of pop and her signature Puerto Rican style, her music is not only musically and vocally impressive but also written with powerful, Christ-centered lyrics. If you’re new to Blanca’s music, here are some essentials to help you become a fan of this talented artist. 
 
“Even at My Worst”
 
We all have bad days, and we all mess up sometimes. Even at our worst, God still loves us and cares for us. The lyrics of this song remind us that God’s love is always with us and that He is with us in every situation in our lives. 
 
“Even at my worst, You love me
You wrap Your arms around, and You hold me close
Even at my worst, You give something I don't deserve
You love me even at my worst.”
 

“Something Better”
 
God’s way and plan for our lives are always better than what we envision for ourselves. This song reminds us that God takes our pain and trials and transforms them into something greater. The difficult times we encounter always serve a purpose. 
 
“I don't know how, but you take all my pain
And you turn it into something better
Ooh, something better
There's not a tear that you let go to waste
No, you turn it into something better (something better)
Ooh, something better (something better).”
 

“The Healing”
 
One of the Lord's many names is Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. I love this uplifting anthem that highlights His attributes. This song is catchy and one I enjoy having stuck in my head because of its message.
 
“'Cause I can feel Him rising on the inside
A fire burning wild and bringing me to life
My God is so much more than just a feeling
You are my healing, You are my healing.”
 

“Heaven”
 
“Heaven” is one of Blanca’s slower tracks, but the lyrics are breathtaking. This is a song everyone can relate to as we eagerly await the day we see our Savior face to face and reunite with loved ones who have gone before us. Colossians 3:2 tells us to set our eyes on things above. This life is temporary, and one day we’ll be in our perfect eternal home. 
 
“I been thinking bout heaven
I been thinking bout heaven
My momma always told me to
Keep my eyes on heaven
So that's what I'm gonna do
I been thinking bout heaven.”
 

“Who I Am”
 
This song's message is for everyone, especially young girls, as they navigate what society says about them. Their minds are often influenced by how they should look and act. It reminds us that our identity resides in the one who created us. 
 
“I'm running to the one who knows me
Who made every part of me in His hands
I'm holding to the one who holds me
'Cause I know whose I am, I know who I am.”
 

“I’m Yours”
 
When anxiety and doubt overwhelm you, let this be your anthem. We belong to a mighty God who is always with us, even when we feel alone. The song’s lyrics are powerful reminders that you are more than enough because you belong to God. 
 
“I'm safe, I'm loved
I'm more than enough
I'm worthy 'cause I'm Yours
With strength and grace
You keep showing up
One thing I know for sure
I'm worthy 'cause I'm Yours.”
 

“New Day”
 
If you’re like me and enjoy listening to high-energy, uplifting songs in the morning on your way to work, you should add this song to your playlist. God’s mercies are new every morning, and that’s something to celebrate. He grants us the freedom to forget yesterday’s mistakes and welcome a new day filled with His mercies and love. 
 
“Don't need to worry about tomorrow
'Cause only love is on my brain
And when I find myself in trouble
I just call upon his name
Talk to the Lord above, every day
Blessings on blessings come my way
It's in my DNA, yeah, a part of me
Ain't nothing else I can say.”
