In “Kbron y Medio,” which loosely translates to “a jerk and a half,” he embraces a new identity to help heal his wounds. Powered by a country blues melody fused with his signature mariachi elements, the single-as-of-recently artist sings emotively, “My kisses are no longer for just one, my bed is open to receive bad girls, my agenda is open for everyone,” while quickly adding, “just don’t get stuck and talk to me about feelings.” His second single of the year, “Kbron y Medio” is a preview of his upcoming album, Pa’l Cora , slated for mid August.
