Fabi Reyna start today Misery, the debut album by Tropical Queen, a project that encompasses the enduring duality in the human experience: the good and the evil, the sweet and the bitter, love and pain. All this, from dance as a liberating element, and despite everything that happens in life, we can always dance as an act of rebellion.

Produced by Fabi, Nectali “Sumohair” DiazCaptain Planet and Busy Twist, the album is a homage to the rhythms of Afro beat, life on the beach, racial mixing and what it feels like to be Mexican.

Celebrate all the chiaroscuro of life with danceable rhythms
Reyna Tropical conceived her debut album based on dualities present in the human experience
The interlude that gives the album its name fully reflects the concept of the album, offering the opportunity to dance in a kind of bittersweet catharsis, even if the lyrics are not entirely happy. Tropical Queen observes how difficult life is, but still decides to decorate it with guitar arpeggios and beats accelerated to relieve pain.
A hypnotic dance launched at a phenomenal time to take advantage of the season
Every now and then a project plans its releases to fit a particular season, and this is the case miserywhich is released during the spring break season with summer in mind, as an essential album for the beach and with heat as an element that repeats throughout the album.
Malegría is all about light guitars that stay in your memory, but Fabi isn’t afraid Add a synthesizer to add to your sonic palette. Of note are the percussions, which seem simple but have great production where the mix results in a fairly balanced tropical product.
No element has a special role, each has its place and decorates the messages contained in Fabi’s voice. The vocal element has a slightly whispered personality with different Hook that can live in repetition.
We have no doubt that you love to roll “Cartagena” or “La Mama” They can feature in remixes or DJ sets this coming summer as they flow naturally with a tropical rhythm inspired by the tradition of mestizo rhythms.
A tropical album with a background but with the ease of giving it several twists
This first album by Reyna Tropical brings thoughtful lyrics that reflect life’s obstacles and joy What it means to be able to live, even if there is always an obstacle in our way.
Malegría conveys a fascination for the simple joys of life, even in unpleasant situations. Dancing, a kiss or feeling the breeze in front of the sea are some of the alternatives to the suffering that a bad time can bring.
misery It may seem like an overwhelming album since it contains 20 songs that combine dance pieces with interludes that explain the reason for this great album that Fabi Reyna presents today. The dynamics of the album are excellent as we move from an interlude to a sped up song and the pauses are quite well proportioned before we hear a song that will make us dance wherever we are.
Although the album is designed to be listened to uninterrupted from start to finish, we certainly won’t be keeping the interludes for our summer lists They help to understand the concept of Reyna Tropical and its surroundings misery.
Reyna Tropical is touring the United States and has released some very nice editions of this debut album, which you can find here.
