Niko Eme – Contigo

Niko Eme Contigo

Twin Cities singer Niko Eme has a hot merengue-electronico track to start off the week, which you can download below.  The song is called "Contigo" ("With You") and paints the story of being single while experiencing the early twangs of love.  At 20 years old, Niko never pretends to have the answers to love - who really does - but he excels at sharing his introspective thoughts through the lyrics. It is with great pride that I can also state that Niko Eme composed the beat to "Contigo."  I … [Read more...]

Henry Santos – My Way

Henry Santos My Way Aventura

Henry Santos's new video "My Way" is as much a … [Read more...]

Niko Eme – Don’t I Deserve (MP3 Download)

Niko Eme MN

Disclaimer: The following song contains a few explicit words that some listeners may find offensive.  The song itself contains a positive message. Twin Cities singer Niko Eme searches for answers in today’s introspective hiphop track “Don’t I Deserve.”  While the nostalgic lyrics are focused on a crumbling relationship, when I hear this track the meaning goes much deeper.  What I hear is a young bilingual producer/artist who has an immense passion for music, but lives in a scene … [Read more...]

Jeyro – Say You, Say Me

Jeyro

The current trend in the world of bachata music is to remake popular songs from the 1960s-1980s and today we bring you the latest example, which is Jeyro’s version of “Say You, Say Me” by Lionel Richie.  In terms of the music, both versions start out with the same romantic melody, but then the bachata version spins off into the traditional percussive rustle that has come to define the genre.  We first heard Jeyro with his song “Mi Mundo,” and this second song is a positive step … [Read more...]
