Released on the 29th of August, ‘Pressure’, is the deeply personal and inviting debut EP from emerging Latin artist, Adalfuns Dornelas.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Blending English and Spanish, across a range of genres, including pop, pop-rock, and urban pop, the EP, ‘Pressure’ is available to stream and download here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adalfuns Dornelas is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Mexico, who takes his inspiration from the likes of Michael Jackson, Adele, Britney Spears, and, perhaps surprisingly, UK pop rock band, Tears For Fears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recorded in his home studio, independent artist Dornelas marks the official launch of his musical career with the ‘Pressure’ EP, through which he aims to create music that goes beyond language and finds a home with listeners all over the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The six track EP, opening with ‘Take Over My Mind’, sees Dornelas experiment with a range of instrumental and vocal styles. Track three, ‘I Turn On The Light’, is perhaps the record’s highlight, with its spoken-word treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Pressure’ is out now and can be streamed and downloaded here<\/a>. You can find out more about Adalfuns Dornelas and his music online on Instagram<\/a>, TikTok<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, and Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
