Kevin Kaarl - “mis compas tan aquí”
Sometimes it’s difficult to see beyond one’s all-consuming pain and heartache. But indie-folk singer, songwriter, and guitarist Kevin Kaarl knows that the key to healing his wounds is to surround himself with good company. The Chihuahua native’s earthy vocals unwind beside breezy acoustic chords and feathery synths as he self-soothes with each repetition of his minimalist mantra: “Hoy no pienso nada mal/Solo quiero disfrutar.” Kaarl leads the way with an infectious sense of optimism in this stripped-down, feel-good track and blissful ode to his crew of ride-or-dies. – Nayeli Portillo
