In 'Filofobia,' Paloma Morphy delves into the complex emotions surrounding the fear of love and vulnerability. The title itself, derived from the term 'philophobia,' which means the fear of falling in love, sets the stage for a deeply introspective exploration.

Paloma Morphy's heartfelt delivery and poignant lyrics make 'Filofobia' a relatable and moving exploration of the human heart's vulnerabilities.
