| The new album by Mexican-American artist Marinero, aka Jess Sylvester, is a lush gem of sophisticated pop infused with west-coast psychedelia, salsa, and the many moods of Los Angeles. La La La features contributions from a ton of great musicians including Eduardo Arenas from Chicano Batman, Chris Cohen, Shana Cleveland, Joel Rabinow, and Lizzy Ellison from Radiation City. Engineered and co-produced by Jason Kick at Slime House Studio in LA, Savannah Studio in LA, and Santo Recording in Oakland. On Spotify, Marinero has 12,825 monthly listeners, 3,971 followers. La La La is a continuation of the slippery genre play Sylvester started with 2021's Hella Love, 2019's Tropico de Cancer, or even before that. But it also feels like a fresh beginning for Marinero, as Sylvester incorporates the music of his childhood, his familiar roots in San Francisco and Mexico, and the salsa he absorbed as an impetuous teenager |
