Esteman is waking things up…

The 38-year-old Colombian singer and songwriter has taken a departure from his signature upbeat electro-pop sound for his new track “Despertar,” which he has released via Universal Music Group Mexico.

The song is a groovy, slowed-down pop ballad that narrates the Esteman’s emotional awakening.

The song — co-written by Esteman and Christian Jean — is about finding your way back to the person who makes you feel home or grounded.

“I want to wake up and find you next to me,” he nostalgically sings. “And gain back what I lost being far from you.”

“Despertar” is Esteman’s first single from his forthcoming album, due later this year.
