Emerging Mexican artist and singer-songwriter Patrick Luna has been making waves in the music industry with his unique and captivating sound, garnering attention through various social platforms. Today, he unveils his highly anticipated single, "El Malo," a soulful sad sierreño track that blends powerful melodies with acoustic guitars and a touch of alternative pop, creating a contemporary twist on Mexican music. The song, accompanied by its official music video, is now available on all digital streaming platforms.

Hailing from Mexico City, Patrick Luna is a musical genius known for his ability to fuse Latin and urban pop with his Mexican roots. With "El Malo," he showcases this talent by delivering a narrative that many can relate to: an ex-partner attempting to reconnect after a relationship has ended, only to find that their counterpart has already moved on and labels them as "the bad guy" due to their own lack of reciprocity. Through his melodic voice and heartfelt lyrics, Luna conveys this message with lines like, "I was waiting for you for so long, you never appreciated me and now you say that I'm the bad guy... after so much damage you have caused."

The music video, directed by Gabriel Gaurano, features subtle imagery of the artist walking through the streets of Los Angeles, California, contemplating his ex-partner's return after he has already moved on. The result is a seductive and slow-paced visual canvas that perfectly complements the poignant lyrics about love and heartbreak.

Reflecting on the creation of "El Malo," Patrick Luna shares, "There are feelings that can only be expressed through a ballad, and that is precisely the case with 'El Malo.' This song stems from my personal experiences in love and heartbreak and my curiosity to blend two musical genres that are a fundamental part of my essence: R&B and corridos. As a Mexican, I always wanted to create a song like this, as I believe it is an authentic way to represent my culture in an artistic and original way. While I am a fervent follower of the current music scene, I wanted to take that sound into something more romantic rather than something 'bellicose.'"

"El Malo" arrives with great anticipation from Luna's listeners, especially after his recognition by legendary producer, songwriter, record executive, and rapper Timbaland. Luna was selected as one of the three finalists acclaimed by Timbaland during his "Timbo Idol" show on TikTok. This live and interactive show is designed to showcase talent among viewers, providing them with the opportunity to share their artistry with Timbaland and his audience. Luna's versatile talent caught the attention of the music legend, earning him a feature on Timbaland's social platforms for an exclusive first listen to "El Malo."

There is no doubt that Patrick Luna's future holds great promise, with a year full of exciting releases and a continuously evolving sound. In 2021, Luna signed with Prescription Songs, the independent publishing company founded by Dr. Luke, known for representing artists like Doja Cat, Maroon 5, Nick Jonas, and Rihanna, among others. With this new partnership, Luna is well on his way to fulfilling his dream of becoming one of the most notable songwriters, producers, and artists in the music industry. Keep an eye out for Patrick Luna as he continues to make his mark on the global music scene.
