Ramón Vega & Christian Nodal Team Up for New Single “dEsANiMao :(“

Posted on July 29, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Ramón Vega is mending a broken heart… But he’s not alone.

The Mexican singer has joined voices with Christian Nodal for the single “dEsANiMao 🙁,” their first collaboration.

Vega and Nodal trade verses of heartbreak over a wistful pop tune.

In the music video, the two navigate different terrains, from the ice age to the Jurassic period, while they figure out how to deal with their newfound solitude.

“I’m tired of always being at fault, for you to leave and me going after you,” Vega sings. “I wish you had a mirror so you could see what you do wrong or a friend who would give you advice.” To which Nodal adds, “I’m discouraged, like the song says without your love I feel down/ I wish I was by your side but your pride has us separated.”

The song is the focus track from Vega’s first album PA Ti :).

It’s the singer/songwriter’s second studio project following his 2021 EP La Nueva R. The 13-track set — which ranges from electro-techno to R&B, urbano and funk — features other previously released songs including “ITA 🙂,” “BeSos aL vIEnTo 🙁” and “eScoRpiÓn 🙂” with Michelle Maciel.

“This album has been a long time coming and a tremendous labor of love,” Vega said about PA Ti :).

“I feel I am stepping into my own as an artist and my goal was to create music that felt authentic to me and my experiences. This album was transformational and cathartic for me in many ways and ultimately I hope people connect with it and enjoy listening to it.”

Elena Rose Signs Record Deal with Warner Music Latina

Posted on July 31, 2022 by Tom Castaneda

Elena Rose is ready to record more of her own music…

Warner Music Latina has signed a record deal with the Venezuelan singer-songwriter.

Over the past two years, Rose has become the go-to songwriter for artists like Becky G, Selena Gomez, Rauw Alejandro, Jennifer Lopez and Maluma, among others, while also releasing her own music (“La Ducha,” “Picachu”) via her indie label, Guerrera de la Luz.

“It feels like the beginning of something that was meant to be and I feel grateful that I am in a place where I feel understood, comfortable, but also excited to grow and learn even more and get out of that comfort zone to get to where we want to go so it can be truly timeless, which is a key word for me,” Rose said about the deal. “I think I’m surrounded by an amazing team that understands my vision and is willing to come with me on this crazy ride of being timeless.”

Following a move from Venezuela to Miami to pursue a career in music, Rose cites Becky G recording one of her songs, “Dollar,” as her “big break.” The track peaked at No. 27 on Hot Latin Songs (chart dated Nov. 1, 2019). Since, Rose has been on a spree writing back-to-back hits such as Maluma and J.Lo’s “Pa Ti,” Daddy Yankee and Marc Anthony’s “De Vuelta Pa’ La Vuelta” and she co-wrote five of the seven songs on Gomez’s first Spanish project, Revelación, released last year.

“Elena is a unique artist. Her lyrics, her voice, her presence and the ability she has to convey emotions is unparalleled. We are proud to be able to work together to fulfill her vision, deliver her music to the public, and make it timeless,” offered Alejandro Duque, president at Warner Music Latina.

Added, Ben Tischker, Rose’s manager: “From the moment I met her I knew she was a once in a lifetime talent. The combination of her voice, and unique songwriting ability is a rarity. It’s been an honor to be by her side as she grows into the amazing artist that she is going to become. I can’t think of a better team of people to do this with than Alejandro Duque, Hector Rivera and the team at Warner Latin.”

Rose is currently working on new music that will be part of her debut album that, which is expected before the end of the year.
