GEPE, currently one of the
most outstanding Latin American voices and a key figure in the international
projection of the music of his native Chile, returns with new music,
demonstrating once again his artistic restlessness and his skill as a creator
of songs.
The song “4:40”
was composed in collaboration with Puerto Rican artist Raquel Sofía
and Mexican producer Mauro Muñoz and marks the beginning of a new era
in which the singer-songwriter reopens his own songbook following his album “Ulyse”
(2020).
With a catchy rhythm
and an unforgettable chorus, in “Las 4:40,” Gepe gives a nod to cumbia,
illustrating once again the free approach to the Latin sound to which we have
become accustomed over the course of his already eight published albums.
After two intense
years amidst the promotion of “Ulyse” (which features noteworthy
collaborations with Natalia Lafourcade, Vicentico and Princesa Alba), his
nomination to the Latin Grammys, and an EP of covers that kept him busy for
much of 2021, this return is also the commencement of a musical year that yet
again demonstrates Gepe’s credentials as a creator of pop songs with massive reach.
Written during his
last trip to Mexico, and in the middle of a heavy schedule of creative
sessions with other colleagues, this song addresses a falling-out through
direct narration and a rhythm that invites fans to dance until dawn.
On this occasion, the
production was led by the Argentine Nico Cotton (Cazzu, Conociendo
Rusia, Nicki Nicole, Princesa Alba, and Axel, among others), and the
recording was finalized in Buenos Aires in January 2022.
The track comes
accompanied by a videoclip starring the famous Chilean actress Tamara
Acosta and directed by Bernardo Quesney, where a dark, wistful and
bohemian imaginary world is formed.
In this way, and
within days of his participation at the Vive Latino Festival (CDMX) in
March and the Pal ‘Norte Festival (Monterrey, Mexico) in April, Gepe
kicks off an era of new musical and artistic adventures of continental reach.
