Dominican R&B artist Andrew Tejada has been quickly rising – and it’s easy to see why. His latest single, “Perdoname”, is the proof in the pudding, a delicate traipse through a showering bassline backed by smoothed out, tantalizing gentle trap drums.
Singing in his native language, he explores the shame and heartbreak that come along with admitting betrayal to a loved one. It doesn’t even begin to matter if you can’t understand his words – the deep ache in his voice conveys all you need to know.
Speaking on “Perdoname”, Tejada shares, “The story behind “Perdoname” is that of a man who acknowledges all his wrong doing during his relationship and seeks forgiveness. Not only for the unfaithful act towards his significant other but also for the betrayal towards his best friend. In her he found a friend way before a lover.“
Raised across the world – from The Dominican Republic to New York City to the Netherlands – he was exposed to music largely by his grandmother, who taught him to love classic Latin mainstays such as José José and Marco Antonio Solís, while, at the same time, he discovered a great passion for The Bee Gees and Usher’s Confessions – the latter a clear influence on his own music – through his own curiosity.
All these experiences and interests have culminated in a multifaceted, incredibly intriguing young artist, and “Perdoname” is just the latest step in his promising rise.
