it’s not every day that a music video feels like a short film — part myth, part manifesto, all wrapped in electric color and cinematic magic. But that’s exactly what you get when Domino Saints releases a new visual. The global pop duo, known for their cutting-edge sound and fantastical storytelling, have once again raised the bar with their latest release, “Aura.”
The single is more than a song — it’s a bold, soul-shaking celebration of authenticity, motivation, and inner strength, set against the backdrop of an ever-evolving music landscape that is finally beginning to prioritize female voices.
Domino Saints, the boundary-breaking duo made up of Giselle Ojeda and David Leal, have long been admired for their artistic ambition. Each project they touch — whether it’s a track, a video, or a live performance — becomes an immersive world unto itself.
Their visuals are not just backdrops to the music, but narrative experiences that feel like they were plucked from the pages of a magical realism novel, often filmed in spellbinding locations that amplify the emotional core of their message. And with “Aura,” they’ve crafted yet another universe where vulnerability becomes a superpower and rhythm becomes liberation.
THE BIRTH OF “AURA”: WHERE EMPOWERMENT MEETS COLLABORATION
“Aura” was born during the She Runs the Boards creative camp in Miami — a groundbreaking initiative by Platoon designed to uplift and empower women in music. What makes this release historic is that “Aura” marks the first-ever Spanish-language single under the program, and its power lies not only in its sonics but in the all-female force behind it.
The track was written by Giselle Ojeda, Elianette M. Marrero Torres, Ana Valeria Peñaranda Valda, and Daymé Arocena Uribarri, and produced by Giselle herself alongside Melissa Ángela Medina. Together, they’ve created a song that melds tropical cadences with sleek electronic textures, delivering a pulsing anthem that encourages listeners to shed fear, reconnect with their inner power, and step fully into their truth.
More than just a recording session, the She Runs the Boards camp was a dynamic and collaborative space where artists, engineers, and producers came together to reimagine what inclusion and creativity could look like in the music industry. With past camps in cultural hubs like Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Nigeria, Mexico City, and more, and upcoming sessions planned in Colombia and South Africa, the initiative is carving out space for a new generation of women-led musical innovation.

Visual storytelling, elevated one of the most remarkable aspects of Domino Saints’ artistry is their commitment to visual excellence. The “Aura” music video is a testament to that — with stunning cinematography, high-fashion styling, and a narrative that feels at once ethereal and grounded in real emotion. There’s an intentionality to every frame: from sweeping drone shots over dreamlike terrain to close-ups that capture the fierce determination in Giselle’s gaze, every moment is loaded with meaning.
It’s this cinematic vision that has consistently set Domino Saints apart in a crowded pop landscape. They don’t just make music — they build worlds. And in the world of “Aura,” the central message is clear: your energy is your superpower. Own it.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR DOMINO SAINTS? A GLOBAL DUO WITH NO BORDERS
While “Aura” is firmly rooted in the Latin pop and electronic tradition, Domino Saints is a duo that refuses to be confined by genre or geography. Their previous releases have blended reggaetón, dancehall, EDM, Afrobeat, trap, and pop, reflecting their diverse musical upbringing and global perspective.
This borderless sound is one of the reasons they’ve been able to connect so deeply with fans from Puerto Rico to Paris, from Bogotá to Berlin. And now, with the platform of She Runs the Boards and support from a label like Platoon — which has backed artists like Billie Eilish, Jorja Smith, and Mr Eazi — Domino Saints are poised to take their empowering message even further.
With “Aura” making waves, there’s no doubt that Domino Saints are entering a powerful new era. An era where pop is fearless. Where visuals are visionary. And where a song isn’t just something you hear — it’s something you feel, see, and live. As Giselle sings with conviction, “ya no tengo miedo” — I’m no longer afraid.
