Carmen DeLeon's Volverás (Prod. Tainy) is an Ode to Owning Your Self-Worth
Growing up as a Mexican-Canadian, I listened to a lot of Spanish music at home, but would rarely hear any on the radio or my friends' mix CDs.
It has only been in the past few years that I've been discovering more and more indie Spanish music and reggaeton that has crossed over into the mainstream. Artists like Rosalía, Kali Uchis, and now Carmen DeLeon provide the Spanish-speaking and bilingual representation I wish I had all those years.
In case you haven't heard of her yet, Carmen DeLeon is the 19-year-old singer who took The Voice by storm. We were lucky enough to be invited to her press conference hosted by Universal Music Group’s 1824 to learn more about Carmen and her career.
Now signed to Capitol Records and relocated to the US to make her debut; she's making waves with her latest single, Volverás. The track was produced by Tainy (the artist behind Card B's I Like It and countless other reggaeton hits), who was one of Carmen's dream collaborators.
Carmen told us that the track is an anthem for knowing your self-worth and not being afraid to set the boundaries you need to take care of yourself. She said she was proud to share her story with this song and is proud to be bringing bilingual Latina representation to mainstream pop/reggaeton.
