Catch the fever of euphoria in Bekah Wilbourn’s sophomore single, Lost in Colombia

Bekah Wilbourn took the Latino Pop scene by storm with her cinematically melancholic debut single, Go Numb. On the 19th of July, the airwaves witnessed a different side to the songstress with the unveiling of her sophomore single, Lost in Colombia. Orchestrated as a celebration of multiculturalism viewed through the lens of a one-in-a-lifetime love affair, Lost in Colombia is an instantly infectious fever of euphoria.

As the strident horn stabs meet the mesmeric rhythm of the Latin percussion, a carnivalesque energy sweeps across the panoramic production which enshrines the El Paso-based artist’s expansively arrestive vocals that embody vitality.

In a time when it feels as though division is eroding connection, Bekah Wilbourn did so much more than simply contribute to the airwaves with Lost in Colombia, she served a reminder that, unlike prejudice, love knows nothing of borders.

In her own words,

“Lost in Colombia tells the heartfelt story of a journey driven by love and cultural immersion. The song’s narrative explores a deep, personal connection where the protagonist finds herself yearning to embrace the Colombian culture and lifestyle after meeting a lover in Colombia. The lyrics reflect her desire to step out of her comfort zone and fully integrate into his world, longing to be lost together in the enchanting and magical city of Colombia.”

Lost in Colombia is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.

I’ll Wait For You: Eydrey gracefully returns with the emotionally beautiful ‘Song For You’

After a two year hiatus from releasing original songs so she could focus fully on her debut album ‘Things We Cannot Change‘, that is due for release in late 2021, Eydrey flourishes brilliantly with such elegance on a true life story about holding on for that love you want the most on ‘Song For You‘.

Eydrey is a mesmerizing El Paso, Texas-born, Ciudad Juarez, Mexico-raised indie-pop singer-songwriter and music producer. She makes that self-discovery journey type of soundtrack, that is filled with love and stories of heartbreak in this harsh world for sweet souls.

Her stunning voice is so tender and caring, each note is expertly toned and sung with such carefully weighted deliberation. You feel her kind heart opening up slowly, as she warily looks around to make sure that no one is going let her down again. The story of loving someone you probably shouldn’t is real, as you start to wonder if it is actually worth it in the end.

Song For You‘ from the outstanding Texas-based indie-pop songwriter-songwriter/producer Eydrey, is a classy single that has us washed quickly into a love wave that is is so hard to explain. The person who you wish to be with isn’t ready so you have chosen to wait for them despite the possible consequences — no matter how much it hurts you to be alone — and to think of them with someone else, as the thought slowly crushes your tender heart.

Hear this wonderfully beautiful single on Spotify and see her IG music page for more.
