Jay Wheeler Asks For Help On His New Single, “SOS”

by

This is for the Boricuas out there. Puerto Rican reggaeatón and pop artist Jay Wheeler just released a new single and music video, “SOS.” However, this track leans into 80s-inspired production and an atmospheric sonic pallet. As such, if you’re unfamiliar with reggaetón artists or Latin music in general, this might be a great intro point for you. Moreover, he longs for a romantic partner, sending distress signals for her to join him, and conveys a lot of heart in his performance. Also, this single follows an incredible 2022, where he dropped his biggest album to date and sold out multiple shows. Now, he’s getting ready for his first world tour and new projects on the way.

“I’m very happy with the direction my career is taking, and I was dying to release new music and little by little show the people all the new things that are coming,” the 28-year-old expressed. “This song is part of that, we don’t stop for even a second. S.O.S. is a track that people will enjoy because it’s part of my essence and what my fans expect. It’s romantic, but danceable. I’m maintaining my style, but also combining a retro sound with modern elements, and I love the video. I hope people enjoy it and sing along with it.”

Quotable Lyrics
‘Toy dispuesto a buscarte y bajarle al orgullo primero
Estoy aborrecío’ de verte en el Insta, y no en el jangueo
Y estando solo aprendí que el amor no lo compra el dinero
Le tiré un DM a tu amiga (Amiga), pero pa’ preguntarle por ti
(I’m down to pick you up and lower my pride first,
I’m tired of seeing you on Instagram and not going out,
Being alone taught me you can’t buy love,
I DM’d your friend, but to ask her about you)

Q Looks For “LUV (I KNOW I WANT THIS FOR REAL)” On New Song

by

Florida-based artist Q is back with a new dance-infused track, “LUV (I KNOW I WANT THIS FOR REAL).” Moreover, the track follows earlier soulful singles, such as the track “Stereo Driver” from September of 2022. While Q’s an up-and-coming talent, his raw skill and creativity brightens up even older sounds.

Furthermore, this track has an incredibly infectious ’80s vibe to it, from the passionate vocals to the static-infused drums. Also, the down-pitched vocals that come in at certain points of the song give it a lot of character. Following previous singles, which saw him stray into sultry R&B and soul, it seems Q has a vintage skillset.

Still, the track’s production quality is top-tier, so the dated production feels intentionally charming, not sloppily arranged. What’s more is that the music video is just Q dancing, and what else is better to motivate you to get up?

Moreover, this track just has a really fun and danceable atmosphere. Even with repeat listens, you can continually find new details and melodic phrases to latch onto. Furthermore, it’s a testament to Q’s dynamism and charisma as a vocalist and instrumentalist.

Also, the track features some structural and dynamic changes, like bringing out the drums and slightly changing the song’s swing. Overall, these elements combine to make a highly enjoyable experience that should have fans foaming at the mouth for a full-length project soon.

Quotable Lyrics

I think I found it, I can’t seem to stop it (I know I want this for real)
The love is goin’ crazy (I’m sick and tired of fallin’ of in love), I think I need to stop it, wait
I think I found it, I can’t seem to stop it (That love is distant for real)
The love is goin’ crazy, I think I need to stop it, wait
