Destiempo

Written by Sandoval and me in the mix room, with our eternal bass player and great friend Gabo. It’s about an on-and-off relationship with someone from Brazil: when one wants and the other doesn’t, and then it flips. A chase, but a playful one. I wanted it to feel like Rio de Janeiro and the Mexican Caribbean at the same time. I was listening to a lot of Rawayana back then, after my Venezuelan cousin introduced me to them and took me to their concert. But the song has a pop twist: I added a disco beat to the second half of the chorus, and we built an alternative pop-rock bridge that would feel more at home on a synth-pop record, or on something by Kings of Leon or The Killers, before it falls back into its tropical essence. Light, poppy, and happy to be Latin American.
