The new project follows Rodrigo’s Billions Club Live performance in Barcelona in May.

During the set, she performed eight of her nine Spotify Billions Club tracks, alongside fan favorites from her first two albums and her recent single “Drop Dead.” Spotify later released a concert film of the show on May 27.
