Jessy Rose Unfaithful Infiel

New York singer Jessy Rose entered the scene earlier this year with her debut bachata single "Te Amo," thrilling us with the rich texture of her soulful melodies.  Today she presents us with an unusual glimpse into the thoughts of an "Unfaithful" cheater who is guiltily examining her situation.  On one hand the song expresses an appreciation for the trusting partner who is being cheated on, yet the fact that she refers to this man in the third person ("I love his trust") while addressing her … [Read more...]

Kewin Cosmos Encuentro Olvido EP EYO

Smooth, dark, and full of emotion, the opening notes of Kewin Cosmos’ new EP Encuentro y Olvido (EYO) are captivating from the very start.  This is raw and heartfelt Spanish R&B, where every breath is real, and every lyric vivid.  The project generally features piano-accompanied romantic ballads, but you will at times hear dub-step and dance elements.  If this is your first encounter with Kewin’s music, I encourage you to listen to his interview to gain a better understanding of his … [Read more...]

Henry Santos – My Way

Henry Santos My Way Aventura

If you don't know Henry Santos by name, you definitely should know him by his former band: Aventura.   Much of the former success of Aventura stems from Henry's skill as a composer, so while his cousin Anthony "Romeo" Santos was the lead singer and "star" of the show, the talent truly was balanced within the group.  When Henry and Romeo decided to go solo, their debut albums reached #2 and #1 respectively on the Billboard Tropical Chart. Henry Santos's new video "My Way" is as much a … [Read more...]

Eli Jas Mixtape 2013

New York's princess of bachata returns with a free 5-track mixtape for her fans!  Eli Jas clearly planned this release around Valentine's Day, as every song on the mixtape conveys the emotions of love.  The production of Chris Hierro and Eli Jas' passionate lyrics give us the most in-depth look at her music that we have witnessed to date. The first track "No Me Podras Olvidar" is in my opinion the star of the mixtape due to its intricate production, soulful passion in the vocals, and … [Read more...]

Jessy Rose – Te Amo

Jessy Rose Te Amo

Bachata has traditionally been a male-dominated genre of music, where I would argue that no solo female singer has obtained the stardom enjoyed by male counterparts such as Romeo Santos, Prince Royce, and Juan Luis Guerra.  2012 challenged this concept with the rise of artists such as Eli Jas and Leslie Grace, who bring a soulful musical quality that is deeply rooted in American R&B.  As more female singers delve into the world of bachata, it will become increasingly necessary that … [Read more...]

The soulful trio International Boyz dropped an energetic club track last summer "Mami Dime A Ver"  that showcased their ability to fuse together a diverse set of musical influences.  They have since been hard at work writing new songs and today I bring you the debut music video "Yo Te Quiero Asi."  All three singers present a common theme of acceptance and devotion, but each artist brings a unique sound that together lives up to their "International" image.
