Becky G's 'Esquinas' Album Showcases Her Mexican Heritage as She Tours the U.S. with 'Mi Casa, Tu Casa'

Multi-platinum singer, songwriter, actress, and activist Becky G has bared her soul to her fans with the release of her latest album, "ESQUINAS." In this project, the Mexican-American star fearlessly showcases her most vulnerable side yet, cementing her position as a leading voice in the music industry. Collaborating with fellow artists like Ángela Aguilar, Chiquis, DannyLux, Ivan Cornejo, and Yahritza y Su Esencia, Becky G creates hit tracks that offer a modern twist on the music that has influenced her. "ESQUINAS" is now available on all streaming platforms.
"ESQUINAS" is executively produced by the multi-award-winning composer and producer Edgar Barrera, a Latin GRAMMY-nominated talent. This album builds upon Becky G's previous work, "ESQUEMAS," and allows her to express herself as a "200 percenter" - proudly 100 percent Mexican and 100 percent American. The project draws inspiration from Regional Mexican music, creating a hybrid sound that blends her cultural roots with a contemporary flair that pays homage to the two flags she represents.

One of the standout tracks from the album is "2NDO CHANCE," a collaboration with Ivan Cornejo. In this song, Becky G delves into the complexities of a love-hate relationship, pouring her emotions into every lyric. Ivan Cornejo complements her with gritty vocals that intensify the raw feelings of losing someone who once brought light to their lives. Produced by Edgar Barrera, Casta, and Frank Rio, the track features hypnotic guitar strings by Ivan Cornejo, an intense bassline, and traditional Tejano-esque keys that amplify the sentimentality behind this song.

Each instrument evokes memories of the sounds that surrounded Becky as she grew up.

Before releasing the album, Becky G gave fans a preview with her single "QUERIDO ABUELO." In this moving track, the global superstar penned a heartfelt tribute to her late grandfather, expressing profound gratitude for the wisdom, love, and support she received from him. This song serves as a testament to Becky G's commitment to honoring her heritage and roots. "QUERIDO ABUELO" has already garnered over 1 million plays on digital streaming platforms.
