Mexican-American singer-songwriter Ivan Cornejo releases his highly anticipated album ‘MIRADA’ via Zaragoza Records / Interscope Records.
It is no coincidence that Cornejo’s third album is titled ‘MIRADA.’ This poetic word – Spanish for gaze – underscores the California-born singer/songwriter’s Mexican roots, but also the soulful lyricism that permeates every single one of the session’s 12 tracks. Cornejo said:
I fell in love with that word through the songwriting process for this album. It felt soft and gentle. It’s a deep word, and I love how it looks visually. The title track references a gaze from your lover, the kind of look that you may perceive from someone who’s falling out of love with you. A gaze can forever change your life.
Cornejo’s music is a sophisticated combination of sad sierreño roots and hazy, alternative-rock vibes, ‘MIRADA’ is a “Best Albums of 2024” contender, and a possible Latin Grammy nomination soon.
