Liner Notes

One of my goals this year was to sing a song in Spanish. I’ve been taking Spanish classes since last September, and last week, I worked with one of my teachers to refine the lyrics and make sure they felt natural.

Lately, I’ve had Bad Bunny’s new album on repeat (it’s incredible), and it inspired me to try my hand at a Salsa track. I call this genre Salsa de Blanca (White Salsa—LOL). The music turned out even better than I imagined, and making it was pure joy.

Vocals? First verse and choruses—pretty solid. Second verse? Not so much. I wrote the lyrics before I had the music, so some parts don’t quite land, and yeah, I mispronounce a few words. But that’s okay. This was about pushing myself, having fun, and embracing the challenge. And on that front, I couldn’t be prouder.

Hope you enjoy!
