Following the successful release of the single “No Verán” ft. Aura Bae, Ambar Luna releases her second single titled “Solsticio” with Matías
Moena Báez, known artistically as Nfx. On this track, the
musicians fused the best of rap and trap, giving listeners a profound glimpse
at societal expectations.
In order to become stronger and to vent her frustrations, Ambar Luna wrote this song at the age of 16 while going through a time of
need and unease. This period of darkness was due to the damage that people can
experience on social media and how we tend to idealize other people on those
platforms.
“[Matías and I] wanted to convey our true essence. One might say
the song is self-referential and biographical,” Ambar explained.
With “Solsticio,” the rapper
stands out for her great ability to drop bars as if breathing were unnecessary,
and the rhythmic colors blend perfectly with Nfx’s rhymes. This
collaboration arose spontaneously while Ámbar was sharing the recording
studio with her limitless mentor, as she calls him. Matías asked her if
he could add his vocal to the song, which thrilled the artist. After a day of
hard work composing, the final version of the song was born. Under the
production of Sheng 33, who was tasked
with giving the song its harmony and rhythm, the video that accompanies the
release is intimate because it had been filmed in just one take to give it the
feeling that the lyrics and rhythm require.
“Solsticio” is now available on all digital platforms and on Ambar Luna’s official YouTube channel
