The song features a great mix of acoustic and electronic elements, a touch of retro nostalgia with spacey synths anchored by the raw power of Santos’ vocals.

“When producing this record, I found myself really digging deep into the organic music side of my brain,” MAKJ tells Billboard. “This record speaks on so many different years of my life. From the ’80s inspired synths, to the live drums, new wave rhythm, and vocals from Matthew. All of this was inspired from my childhood listening to Talking Heads, Men Without Hats, The English Beat and Savage Garden. Being able to really connect the dots with my childhood on this record where me, as MAKJ, can still be heard, but also I can push forward my influences of new sounds. I really wanted to make this an art piece, not just another single.”

“Too Far Gone” was released by KENZ / Empire Records.

In 2006, Santos was featured on Lupe Fiasco‘s Food & Liquor album on the song “American Terrorist.” And he was featured on three additional tracks on Fiasco’s The Cool, released in December 2007; “Superstar,” “Streets On Fire,” and “Fighters.”

Becky G isn’t afraid to be sola…

The 19-year-old Mexican American singer has released her first all-Spanish song titled “Sola.”

The sultry lyrics of the mellow reggaeton track, released under Kemosabe Records, sing: “Otra noche sola en mi cama, las seis de la mañana y tu ni si quiera me llamas.”

In previous songs, the pop-rap artist had mixed Spanish words into her English tracks like “Play It Again” and “Can’t Get Enough,” but this time around, Becky G sings completely in español.

“I’ve been working on what will be my first Spanish album. I know this came out of nowhere but when I went on tour with J Balvin, I felt that it was a different world when you’re doing Latin Spanish urban music,” she told Billboard. “Us Latinos we’re loud, we want to sing and dance and seeing Balvin’s style of music resonate with people that way, I knew I wanted to be a part of that cause that’s also who I am and a side of me that I’m very proud of. Although I don’t speak Spanish perfectly, singing it is much easier to do and I just love the way it sounds.”
