I completely realize I’m going to come across like a jerk-store here, but I 100% love Adrian Quesada‘s solo stuff more than the Black Pumas; I know that’s sacrilegious, but just calling it like I see it. I was gifted an early listen to this fresh track from Boleros Psicodelicos II, which features Cuco, and I’ve pretty much been playing it non-stop. For starters, Cuco’s voice is just ridiculous here; it doesn’t feel out of place in a classic bolero sense, and in fact, almost seems like the genre was built just for him. But, that wouldn’t work if there wasn’t this incendiary blend of synthetic keys, percussion and guitar, all thrown together in this masterful fashion that almost makes it feel like the score to an unwritten Robert Rodriguez vampire movie, yet totally pop at the same time! I freaking love it, and am excited to hear all of Boleros Psicodelicos II when it drops on June 27th via ATO Records. Now, if I can only convince him to do his take on Chicha, then we’ve got a party!
