EthanUno Unveils necesidad, A Genre-Defying Debut EP
EthanUno drops necesidad, an innovative blend of Latin pop, hyperpop, and glitchy dance, self-produced and out now via Friends Keep Secrets/Interscope.
Emerging as one of music’s most exciting genre-blurring artists, EthanUno releases his debut solo EP, necesidad, via Friends Keep Secrets/Interscope. Fusing hyperpop, R&B, Latin croon, and glitchy dance beats, the project is a self-produced masterpiece that showcases EthanUno’s sonic innovation and emotional depth.
One of the highlights, the previously unreleased track “las mañanas”, captures the bittersweet contrast of heartbreak and euphoria. EthanUno’s pitched-up vocals soar over lo-bit synths and a jittery club beat, as he confesses: “Wish that I could tell you, all the hell I went through / Just for you to mess it up, and say you never meant to.”
necesidad is entirely written, produced, performed, and mastered by EthanUno in his home studio, bringing his DIY vision to life. Whether through the pulsating house of “DQTC”, the IDM-infused swagger of “someone like u”, or the devotional intensity of “TLD”, the EP delivers a uniquely crafted listening experience.
Reflecting on his journey, EthanUno states:
“Signing to a major label has been one of the biggest growing up moments in my life. This moment has made me realize that everything we do in life is out of necessity. I’ve realized you can be f—ing with someone else’s life through your own fight for what you believe in — that’s the nature of necessity.”
With cosigns from Frank Ocean and Rosalía, and previous singles “quemar” and “tattoo” gaining traction, EthanUno’s one-of-a-kind sound continues to captivate listeners worldwide.
