Steven Moses Unapologetically weird Caribbean-inspired pop. It falls somewhere between Lido Pimienta and nikki nack-era Tune-Yards. These songs are rhythmically and texturally rich; the creative energy of this record borders on unhinged. It's a thrilling, arresting listen. Favorite track: Sacude.

Smugo every track on this goes.
thick with synth and lazers.
beautiful powerful expressions of current woes.
and yet feels like xenia sings from a place of ancestral aching.
stellar pop music.

Sacude 04:10
Try not to hear you Nancy, but you’re killing me Try not to hear you Nancy, but you’re killing me Everyday everyday Always the same always Wake up with pain in shoulders I try to hear myself but you’re screaming too loud I try to hear myself but you’re screaming too loud I’m carrying weight for the both of us Time to let go I’m carrying weight for the both of us Time to let it go Cuanto quisiera salir de esto ya Si sigo este rumbo Pronto me sorprende la muerte Dimelo bien, que piensa usted? Si vivo otra noche o me llamara la muerte? Sacude sacude y Dios que me ayude Mi pobre abuelita Prendio seis velitas En la iglesia el cura Reso cuatro misas El medico blanco Me dio diez pastillas El indio brujito Me despojo hasta las rodillas Sacude sacude y Dios que me ayude Trate de levantarme y no pude Estas son las noches largas de Octubre Sacúdeme sacúdeme y Dios que me ayude El Diablo está detrás de la puerta Entró sin que me diera cuenta Quítalo de mi presencia Sacudeme sacudeme sacudeme Paloma dame la mano Que quiero subir Subir hasta el cielo

Darkest Hour 01:39
Life keep pushing me Push me to the ground Life keep pushing me Push me down I look so far down That I thought i’d jump And my darkest hour is Not where i thought it was Sing my songs for you Grinning like a fool Sing my songs for you Tired as a mule Told me that I’d saved you When you thought You’d die There’s no soul more sad And lonely as I

Mulata tu caminas Sola solita no acompaña Dios te bendiga y favorezca Tu eres la unica mama Mira la negrita como baila el bembe La mandan las brujitas De Guayama y Cayey Es la mas mala Que nació en el batey Y manda en la ley Don’t you put me in red I hate it Don't you put me in red You don’t know how much i hate it Ask me where i’m going Don’t ask me where I’m from I speak in 3 languages You barely speak in 1 Kids you put in cages Look like they could be my sons You forget we were here When the west was won Been gone for a while So you thought i was done Been through hell and back And i’ve only just begun Dress me Undress me I’m so spicy You don’t like me Don’t you put me in red I hate it Don’t you put me in red You don’t know how much i hate it

Let’s start at the end You telling me you’ll always be my friend You’re leaving for good Made a less and stayed longer than you ever should You ask me what’s wrong Been playing this game we started far too long I wish you all the best Never wanna hear your voice or see you again Now we’re happily never after Now we’re happily never after And i don’t know what you were after Now we’re happy Long walks in the park All the secrets we whispered after dark Yellow flowers you gave Songs you wrote me But you never got to sing All the love we never made We were growing to close So you ran away I’m not the one who broke your heart Never shoulda fell in love i knew it from the start Now we’re happily never after Now we’re happily never after And i don’t know what you were after Now we’re happy

Did My Best 04:44
I never thought I’d have to write this song Just yesterday I woke up and heard the news I still can’t believe you’re gone It doesn’t make any sense to any of us I didn’t even get to say goodbye I did my best for you My very best for you There was that time in September I lost my temper and thought I would leave I remember I was a real bitch that day And I regret it I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry bae I did my best for you My very best for you Oh God look down Oh God look down upon me now Oh God Oh God look down upon me now I don’t forgive myself For all the things I never did Can you forgive me For all the things I didn’t know just how to do? I did my best for you My very best for you For me and you

Si Llego 03:18
Cuando no estoy te hago falta Cuando hacen el amor De madrugada No sientes nada Tu la llevas pa la playa Alli la retratas Despues me las mandas Tu dices que quisiera Que fuera yo no ella Cuanto me extrañas Me esperas en tu cama Si llego llego hasta tu casa Me juraras llego hasta tu casa Si llego Llego hasta tu casa No digas na’ Soy la mas mala de la fiesta Soy la unica en quien tu piensas Cuando de acuestas Cuando entro por la puerta Todos se dan cuenta Cuando tu me vez A tu novia no me la presentas Mi marido ya no te soporta Ve busca otra Haces el que no le importa Despues me suplicas Y quieres que venga Si llego llego hasta tu casa Me juraras llego hasta tu casa Si llego Llego hasta tu casa No digas na’ Get up, get up together 3And let your love light shine
