Yiga Reyes is ready to make an impression with "Nadie Más." The Spanish-language track, which dropped at the end of May via Sonidos Lindavista, marks the debut release for the Mexico native, who was born and raised in the city of Linares, Nuevo León.
The song — whose title translates to "Nobody Else" in English — is typically peppered with a jaunty horn line and shimmery percussion, but for this Press Play performance, Reyes keeps things light and stripped back by using just his acoustic guitar for accompaniment.
"Yo no quiero a nadie mas/ La quiero ella, solo a ella/ Es una diosa, es una reina/ Porque me hace suspirar/ No se compara las demás," he croons on the lovestruck chorus.
In the video, Reyes reveals he's performing live from Mexico City — a nearly ten-hour drive south from his small hometown in the Mexican state just below the border of Texas. "When I was visiting Mexico City to make new songs and recordings, a friend of mine lent me his house to stay in and also allowed me to record this in his living room," Reyes says in a statement.
During the performance, the rising singer also shares that his particular brand of regional Mexican music owes a natural debt to his upbringing. In fact, the very first concert he ever attended was Nortex Festival in Monterrey celebrating Norteño and Tejano music with sets by Ramón Ayala (aka "King of the Accordion"), Eduardo "Lalo" Mora and plenty more.
