With the sun high in the sky and the speakers turned up, Liahona Olayan makes her solo debut, and it's a whole mood. Her new single, "Que Rico Sola," is a sparkling anthem about independence, self-love, and the irrepressible pleasure of dancing through life on your own terms. The tropical pop-R&B grooves of this track are Liahona's liberating, color-splashed invitation to let loose and feel good, unapologetically and with or without permission.
This is a fresh and exciting new chapter for the fans who know her voice from American Idol. The lead single for her upcoming album, "Just Me, Liahona," "Que Rico Sola," is personal and impactful. It's the kind of song that actually lives in your body. The rhythm throbs with a beachy bounce, whether you are on the rooftop at 10 p.m. parties or in the sun-soaked afternoons dancing alone in your room. Pulse-pounding, riddled with stinging synth, and dripping with Latin-pop flair that calls to mind Karol G, Kali Uchis, and Tinashe, it oozes a swagger that's pure and simple but is also deep and soulful.
Co-written with Alih Jey De Peña and recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-nominated Luigie "Lugo" Gonzalez, the song is lush and emotionally rich. Liahona is glowing. Her voice slides between sultry and potent, assured but easy. She knows who she is, and she's having the time of her life proving it.
Liahona has long stuck out for her realness, and "Que Rico Sola" is no exception. This is about feeling complete, unafraid, and unencumbered. Now, as she gears up to release the next batch of singles, "Strum That Guitar" and "Cállate La Boca," it's obvious it's not just an era for her but an outright movement. If this track is any indication, "Just Me, Liahona" will probably be a kaleidoscope of bold emotion, groove, and identity.
