The soulful, Puerto Rican LA-based singer-songwriter Reina Mora, whose enchanting voice and emotionally raw lyrics have established her as an artist to watch, returns with "Cielo," a two-song Spanish-language EP that explores the two most powerful elements of love: the obsessive spark of desire and the anchoring warmth of devotion.
"Cielo" portrays two sides of love: one that sets the senses on fire, and another that keeps your heart after the fire has gone, because both stories are a part of loving and being loved. At under eight minutes, "Cielo" is a reminder that a short EP can leave a lasting impression. It's an intimate, bilingual work from an artist who's unafraid to navigate through love's strongest contradictions. Both tracks, taken together, showcase Reina's unique talent for summoning emotional contrast with clarity and grace.
The tempestuous yet elegant "Adicción" launches the EP, taking a dangerously pretty dive toward the intoxication of desire. Sitting on a pulsating beat draped in smoky melodies, Reina's vocals sear with longing and urgency. This song isn't just a discussion of lust but occupies it, taking a swing from power to submission. Every beat throbs with the raw, physical potency of Reina, wielding the gravitational force of a love that burns too bright to contain.
Then she turns the emotional coin with "Cielo Azul," a song that sounds like sunrise after a storm. Here, Reina delves into the quiet strength of enduring love, the kind that remains solid despite vulnerability or doubt. Flush with its instrumentation and vocals like a breeze whistling through open skies, "Cielo Azul" calls on you to discover splendor in emotional risk and the payoff of genuine connection.
