Andrew Tejada Unveils His Dark New Single/Video "Pregunta"
/
Following a compelling run of singles so far in 2021, rising Dominican R&B artist Andrew Tejada is back with the enigmatic but emotive “Pregunta”.
Following on from his previous heater “Cuando Quieras”, Tejada adopts an unmistakeably darker tone with “Pregunta” - emerging with the haunting echoes of a child’s laughter before quickly accelerating into sparse street grooves and deftly executed vocal lines. Showcasing his effortless lyrical flow and innate intensity, Tejada outlines the notion of questioning his purpose in life over a bed of snappy, hip-hop esque production.
Speaking on the track – Andrew says: "The story behind Pregunta is pretty straight to the point. The title stands for “question” and from my point of view, we humans carry a lot of them. I never know what a song is going to be about when making it but for some weird reason the production of this song kinda told me to dive into my unhappy thoughts and confront the main question - “what is the meaning of life”. As personal as I kept this track, I’d like to think that many others can find themselves in this song as well. We are all unique but our pain stems from the same root."
The track’s video artfully mirrors the song’s sobering tone, with Tejada adopting a dual persona in his performance, suggesting a battle between himself and his shadowy side.
One of Latin America’s most exciting new talents, Andrew Tejada is your enigma-next door. Raised between New York City, The Dominican Republic, and The Netherlands, he was exposed to a broad spectrum of music growing up, with his grandmother playing him the likes of José José, Marco Antonio Solís and Anthony Santos from a tender age. Simultaneously on his own journey, Andrew developed a passion for Johnny Mathis, The Bee Gees and Usher – the Confessions record in particular.
This breadth of influence was channelled into crafting his own musical landscape, as late 2020 saw the release of Tejada’s strutting debut “Morena”. Followed in quick succession by three more singles so far in 2021 – “Buena Vibra”, “Sube” and “Cuando Quieras” - the tracks have collectively racked up more than 1 million plays across Spotify and YouTube, receiving strong editorial support from Spotify and attracting early hype from the likes of Vacancy, Urban Latino, Vibras TV and Entertainment Rocks.
With a full-length album set to drop later this year, “Pregunta” represents a compelling statement of intent from a singular talent who is becoming difficult to ignore.
