Cruisin' with Junior H

Having first come to the attention of a new generation of música Mexicana fans with 2019’s “Ella,” his *Corridos Tumbados* duet with Natanael Cano, this young singer from Guanajuato dropped the brief yet potent *Atrapado en un Sueño* months later. Yet that 2020 EP from Junior H served essentially as a teaser for two simultaneously released albums that came right at the tail end of summer, *MUSICA* and this exceptional 12-song effort. An often melancholic showcase marked by deep, emotive vocals, *Cruisin’ With Junior H* sets the tone for what’s to come with its devastating “Intro” and the immersive “No Me Pesa.” On standout “La Vi Llorar,” he captures the sting of a relationship on the verge of collapse, the tears falling like rain.
