Corrido tumbado
Noteable
An emerging star of the Rancho Humilde stable, Junior H made a strong impression on the *Corridos Tumbados* compilation. The fresh-faced Guanajuato-bred singer’s first project since that game-changing Halloween 2019 release, *Atrapado en un Sueño* constitutes another must-hear recording from the burgeoning regional urbano movement. The title track opens things in a dreamlike haze, while “Mente Positiva” finds him clear-headed and determined to take care of himself lest he be taken out. The toughness of corridos like “Pakas en las Rakas” gives him credibility, yet more nuanced numbers like “Si Mañana”—which happens to feature an uncredited Cano—add greater emotional heft to his songcraft.
