NSQKโ€™s new project challenges for album of the year in Mexico

A fun and fresh concept is positioning this project as the album of the year in the Mexican music industry.

Rodrigo Torres, better known as NSQK, is a singer-songwriter and producer from Monterrey.

He is currently breaking into the Mexican music scene with his experimental and multifaceted style.

According to an interview with Rolling Stone, NSQKโ€™s mission is not to break the barriers between musical genres, โ€œbut to blur them a little to see whatโ€™s in between.โ€

ATP: An album that everyone should listen to

ATP is the Spanish acronym for I Still Think about You, an album that with 17 tracks.

The project wraps us in a complete experience, complemented not only by the ambiance of the songs, but with multiple skits set in a radio show โ€œRadio ATP 30.9โ€ณ. 

Through comedy, NSQK introduces and prepares us for the vibe of the following songs, for which one of the most famous streamers in Mexico โ€œEl Marianaโ€ lends his voice.

โ€œDo you think about me?โ€ is the question that accompanies us through multiple tracks released before this album such as โ€œCOMETIERRA REMIXโ€.  The question is answered throughout the album on multiple occasions, accompanying NSQK in his process of searching for his own sound and musical identity.

Without a doubt this album is a project that has something for every taste, so if you are looking to add songs to your playlist I present my top 3:

1. Aรบn te pienso

A mix of Rap and R&B opens the album, it is a melancholic song that talks about the heartbreak where you still hope that the person is still living a good life even without you.

2. MIATA แ•™(โ‡€โ€ธโ†ผโ€ถ)แ•— ft. El Malilla

My favorite song on the album, which was made in collaboration with one of the biggest names in Mexican Reggaeton, presents a mix of R&B and Reggaeton.

3. RIP PETE

This track closes the album, and is based on a dream that NSQK himself had with his deceased uncle, presents a song with a revealing vibe where he questions the fame and the consequences of this.

By releasing an album complete with skits and comedy, NSQK is ushering in a new style of musical artistry.

Young people get an opportunity to listen to the music, but also get a glimpse into who he is as an artist and individual.

NSQKโ€™s approach to this new album could change the game for future artists in Mexico, boosting Gen Zโ€™s taste for a more personal and experimental approach to project.
