Lesly Reynaga

Latin pop trailblazer Lesly Reynaga’s dazzling debut album “Valerosa” captures a unique, modern, mariachi-influenced pop sound that has made waves from Austin City Limits Music Festival to Lollapalooza. The Mexican-born, Texas-based artist is making a striking first impression as a “one-of-a-kind” artist, claims Stax Records/Motown legend Al Bell, while earning the reputation of an artist with the potential to be a breakout star.

National press gushed about her recent Lollapalooza performance, describing her set’s “sultry charm,” “unique sound” and “bright, mesmerizing, volcanic burst of passion.” “Valerosa,” released in partnership with Spaceflight Records, is brimming with infectious dance beats and compelling lyricism, including “A Lo Alto,” a breakout single on KUTX 98.9.

“Valerosa” features a production team led by Nick Clark (Kanye West, Janelle Monáe), Billy Hickey, mixing (Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey), Jett Galindo, mastering (Selena Gomez) and was recorded at Austin’s Orb Studios. Called a new “stalwart of Mexican American music” in the volume, “Corazón Abierto: Mexican American Voices in Texas Music,” Reynaga is breaking musical boundaries of “genre, culture, and language with transcendental grace like her predecessors Selena and Shakira did before her,” states the Austin Chronicle.
