HUAN’s lo-fi pop sound is the brainchild of Palm Coast, Florida’s very own Juan Mallorca. With his silky-smooth vocal delivery, introspective lyrics, and catchy hooks, HUAN has carved out a unique space for himself in the indie music scene. His music takes listeners on a dreamlike journey, combining nostalgic bass lines with modulated guitars and keys that create a lush sonic landscape. It’s as if his tracks were born on the shores of the Florida coastline, hitting you on a hot, sleepless night like the cool side of a pillow. Now, let’s dive into HUAN’s newest single, “Agradecido.” This track marks HUAN’s first venture into the Spanish language. It’s a beautiful, acoustic guitar-driven Latin pop song that pays homage to Juan’s Ecuadorian-immigrant parents. The title, which translates to “grateful” in English, perfectly encapsulates the sentiment behind the song. “Agradecido” is a heartfelt tribute to his parents’ struggle, sacrifice, and dedication as they worked tirelessly to provide Juan with the best life possible in the United States. For fans of artists like Omar Apollo, Gorillaz, boy pablo, or Beck, “Agradecido” serves as a bridge between the two worlds Juan grew up in. It seamlessly blends Latin pop elements with HUAN’s signature lo-fi sound, creating a truly captivating listening experience. When asked about the inspiration behind “Agradecido,” Juan explained that the song was his Mother’s Day gift. A friend sent him a guitar loop they had recorded, and it immediately struck a chord with him (no pun intended). Juan had always wanted to write a song for his mom, and this chord progression felt like the perfect foundation for that heartfelt tribute. Despite Spanish being his first language, writing in Spanish presented its own set of challenges for Juan. However, once he started, the words flowed effortlessly, and the song was completed within two recording sessions. Juan couldn’t be prouder of this creation and hopes that his mom enjoys it just as much. This single release comes after HUAN’s San Juan EP in 2022, which featured standout tracks like “Energy” and “Not Today.” Prior to that, HUAN treated fans to a series of singles in 2021, including “Neverland,” “Brainstorm,” and “Days.” With each release, HUAN continues to refine his sound and captivate audiences with his introspective lyrics and infectious melodies. As HUAN’s musical journey unfolds, it’s clear that he is an artist to watch. With his ability to seamlessly blend genres, heartfelt songwriting, and unmistakable lo-fi charm, HUAN is making his mark on the music industry. So, sit back, relax, and let the soothing sounds of HUAN’s music transport you to a dreamy world where emotions run deep, and gratitude takes center stage.
