Black Pumas co-founder Adrian Quesada is going it alone once more, sculpting the follow-up to his lauded LP Boleros Psicodélicos. Continuing his homage to Latin sounds of the late 60s and early 70s, incoming (and aptly titled) Boleros Psicodélicos promises to be a fascinating listen. \"No Juego\" is a wonderful example of world-building, with the immersive arrangement lifting guest vocalist Angélica Garcia to a heavenly plane. \"Adrian is very precise in his attention to detail. His records have a warmth to them that I love,\" says Angélica Garcia. \"'No Juego' is such a dramatic and theatrical song. I’m grateful that Adrian protected the intensity of the song, and I’m glad that he didn’t ask me to tone it down.
