Review

Carín León's "Boca Chueca, Vol. 1" roars onto the scene like a neon-lit tequila bar at midnight. This 19-track dynamo dropped in 2024 and marks a striking turn from his earlier work, embracing a gritty, streetwise swagger. The title, translating to "Crooked Mouth," hints at León's readiness to spill his soul, offering a candid glimpse into his life and evolution as an artist.

The opener, "Cuando la vida sea trago," is a mischievous nod to León's colorful past, setting a playful but reflective tone for the album. This track, like many others, dives into themes of self-acceptance, resilience, and loves both lost and found. León’s voice is a dynamic force, luring you in with tender notes and hitting hard where it needs to, gripping each listener who dares to take the ride.

"Boca Chueca, Vol. 1" dazzles with its eclectic mix of collaborations. Joining forces with icons like Pepe Aguilar and cross-genre stars such as Kane Brown and Leon Bridges, León weaves together a vibrant musical quilt that transcends borders and melds genres effortlessly. Each collaboration brings its spice to the pot, crafting a auditory feast that sizzles with multi-genre grit and flair.

León doesn't just sing about the human experience; he bares it all with raw honesty. In "Despídase bien," he wraps things up with a tender, gospel-like reconciliation, asking for understanding but never truly feeling the need to say sorry. This album isn't wheedling for forgiveness; it's a toast to every perfectly rough detail that makes life beautiful—and that's definitely worth a listen. - Lola
