Becky G has been quite active on social media, proudly embracing her roots and highlighting the significance of her family bonds. This heightened online presence has a profound purpose: the acclaimed singer has poured her heart and soul into one of the most intimate musical projects of her career.
Titled Esquinas, her forthcoming studio album is set to hit the shelves on September 28th, a revelation she personally shared via her official Instagram profile. The sutdio work’s cover art ingeniously encapsulates Becky’s intentions. It features an endearing childhood photograph of the singer, radiating undeniable charm with a sombrero, two long braids, and a strikingly distinctive red bandana, a symbol resonating deeply with the cultural fabric of Mexico.
This album is inspired by my roots and the music I’ve been listening to since I was a child, but it also has a touch of my own style (as always!) This project means a lot to me; it has been a way to revisit memories in order to show you a bit more of who I am. My hope is that it helps you remember that it’s never too late to learn more about your roots and that we can indeed be from here and from there!”
Becky G’s journey, transitioning from rap to pop, then to reggaetón, and finally to Mexican music, appears to be a seamless and organic progression. She has truly mastered the art of both crossing over and embracing a ‘reverse crossover.’
A few days ago, Becky shared a post that not only touched the emotional chords of her family but also moved her fans with a nostalgic childhood memory closely connected to music.
She’s also scheduled to drop her song «Querido Abuelo,» a heartfelt tribute to her late grandfather, this coming Friday.
The month of September is a very important month in my life… This month is your birthday, and it also marks two years since you left us to go to heaven. You inspire me every day. Even though you are no longer here physically, I feel that you are with me in every step, in every path. I dedicate this to you, Dear Grandfather.”
She’s wholeheartedly embracing her cultural heritage by promoting representation, and this is something essential not just in the music industry but also in our everyday lives.
