09/helado negro/private energy
His skin glows in the dark, shines in the light, empowers him to stand tall, shine bright. Shine bright like a diamond. Like the Tinsel Mammal dancer being embraced on the album cover up above. And on album number five, Helado Negro comforts and inspires by tapping into that private energy and projecting it back out at us to feed off of and vibe with. Combining the sounds and textures of his Ecuadorean + South Florida roots with the rich tapestries of lo-fi folk-pop, Helado's PE emits a calm, psychic energy that radiates from every track. It's the work of a man who is young, latin and proud, and eager to share this with you so that you too can reflect on the joy that comes from looking within and standing tall; fully aware of who you are, and thankful for that which has groomed you and shaped you, and gotten you to this point. his private energy. our private joy.
