LOYAL LOBOS
Loyal Lobos is a genre-defying, bilingual singer/songwriter, guitarist, and producer raised in Colombia and now based in Los Angeles. She explored coming-of-age emotions on her critically acclaimed debut LP, Everlasting, but her latest work is a more encompassing and evolved reflection of her own sensibility and voice. LOBA VOL. I is a bold new six-song EP and follow-up to the lauded Una Freak EP for Saban Music Latin. It uses the universal language of pop to transform and celebrate the sounds of her home country and marks a confident new era for the trailblazing artist. “To me, this EP feels like my first official statement,” says Loyal Lobos, who was named one of Rolling Stone’s Latin Acts to Watch and has earned accolades from The New Yorker, Pitchfork, The FADER, Billboard, i-D/Vice, and more. “I'm finally presenting my whole self.” Loyal Lobos’ journey has been as winding, unpredictable, and vivid as her own music. Born in the countryside of Bogotá, Colombia, the child of a Colombian dentist and an economist, Andrea Silva’s first experience with music was singing at funerals and learning guitar at five years old. When she moved to America after high school, she found her early experiences informed her perspective as a burgeoning songwriter. Loyal Lobos has always been a bilingual artist but for this EP, she was drawn much closer to her Spanish-speaking roots. The EP is called LOBA VOL.I because it encapsulates all sides of Loyal Lobos as an artist: curious and edgy, where lightness and life bursts through melancholy. As you dig into her gorgeously dense and direct songs, you’ll uncover more and more.
