Roundup: RGV Singles 8/2/22
Compilation of new RGV songs, including a 90s-freestyle summer dream, a sentimental music video class assignment that earned an “A”, and the 10-year return of a punk supergroup.
CANA! - Summertime
Bright and leisurely synths, skittering dance grooves, and Danica Salazar’s sultry vocals deliver a dreamy retro-freestyle anthem for the season.
Noe Saenz - Hideaway
Compared to his honeyed pop discography, this is easily Saenz’s most intense song. Immersive electropop with the epicness of a sci-fi film score, but if you want even more momentum and supercut imagery, check out the nightcore version as well.
Baseborn - Over and Out
As their first release in 10 years, it’s fitting how it immediately takes off. With two new members, Baseborn has reignited their densely packed and impassioned brand of punk.
Mr. Q - imposter syndrome
The first single of the year for Mr. Q and their affable folk-pop charm is an anthem about irrational self-doubt, which many creatives know all too well, making this an intervention that should be heard far and wide.
The Adult Kid’s! - Forever It’s You and Me
A love story about frontman Martin Martinez and his wife, which was a video project for a UTRGV assignment, with cheerful pop-punk and sentimental scenes around campus giving this an easy “A”.
Vince Spano - Relapse
The first single from Vince Spano’s upcoming EP comes in strong with a riff that’s as smooth as it is wicked, with a bluesy grunge drawl and some fuzzy distortion that commemorates the alt-rock of decades past.
