Colombian singer-songwriter JHONIS ALBERTO returns to the stage with his new single, which echoes through the stereo like old memories. Titled "QUIERO VOLVER A VERTE" (I Want to See You Again), this new single is a beautiful anthem of longing, set to smooth melodies and delivered in a charmingly tender vocal.
Based in Valledupar, the birthplace of vallenato, JHONIS was raised immersed in Colombia's storytelling spirit. That influence also comes across in "QUIERO VOLVER A VERTE," for whose simple yet very effective lyrics and a voice that bears an emotional fragility with confidence, he is the channel. Although the song is a piece of pop songwriting, it bears the presence of an undeniably lyrical openness that resonates from his earlier affinity with troubadour songmaking.
It's a whirling track that unravels like a lengthy missive you were never courageous enough to deliver. It's constructed on a bed of lush instrumentals and a pounding bass line that mirrors the rhythm of a heart longing for a loved one. JHONIS ALBERTO' power is in the purity of the message. The production is glossy, but never to the point of obscuring the raw feeling behind the words. The balance here is accessible enough that you can hum along, but intimate enough to feel like a secret you're being let in on.
"QUIERO VOLVER A VERTE' speaks to that human ache that we're always holding onto, the ache to reconnect. JHONIS ALBERTO is threading the fragments of his past and present through melodies that encourage us to let loose and feel. With this release, he hardens his case as a story songsmith with heart, a bridge between cultural classics and current sound. If you've ever missed someone to the point of distraction, this song will feel familiar, and it may just stick with you for longer than you think.
