Inspired by tragic and painful circumstances, ‘Es Así’ is not your average record. Penned by Californian songstress Anessa, the piece uncovers a wealth of Spanish lyricism and Latin American rhythms, making for an eclectic, vibrant listening experience, one that oscillates between aural richness and songwriting depth. We are particularly in awe of the second verse, as ‘Es Así’ shifts from a Western-driven groove to a more specific Latin arrangement. It’s an unexpected change, yet one that goes beyond the Latin Pop realm, showcasing Anessa as a gifted, talented and genius creative.
The message behind ‘Es Así’ is particularly relevant. Reflecting on the many challenges that surround daily life, the piece seeks to motivate listeners to keep going, pushing through the pain and melancholy of a rather gloomy reality. The theme is certainly modern and contemporary, something that will be unveiled in the accompanying music video, depicting the impact of ICE within the American Latin community.
As Anessa explains: “The song is rooted in real stories from my community, carrying a message of resilience, hope and unity. The music video follows a family affected by ICE, adding an emotional and human layer to the track’s message.” Overall, ‘Es Así’ is a breath of fresh air, a diverse nugget of Latin Pop that will no doubt entice a large number of listeners worldwide.
