On here, the &#8220;Mexican-Panamanian artist presents a bittersweet track&#8230; [featuring] a character trying to persuade themselves of an innocence long lost while analyzing the vices of those around them,&#8221; her people say. This bandleader says her varied discography functions, &#8220;as an extension of her nomadic life spent between Panama, where she was born; Mexico, the land of her mother’s family; Florida where she escaped from Manuel Noriega’s dictatorship; Arizona, where the young woman met underground and alternative culture and France for a music career spanning over ten years.&#8221; This constant re-adjustment to new cultures, norms and musical zeitgeists seems to be what makes this artist&#8217;s work so poignant. She brings together the honest, well-defined soul of a Latin pop star with the bluesy experimentalism broadly emblematic of the American rock scene in the 2000s and the clean, artsy flair of continental European post-punk. All of that is bridged in a concise, focused format with strong production and top-notch musicianship. This is a quality track from a talented artist.
