Cuco Para Mi Interscope. “Where is this fool going?” blares a nasally, robotic voice on the Intro of Cuco’s Para Mi , a sun-dappled day trip of a debut album. Kicking off one of the year’s most highly anticipated projects with such throwaway self-awareness is indicative of the California cool that the singer/multi- instrumentalist born Omar Banos oozes with enviable ease. And while Para Mi may not offer a definitive answer to its formative query, few could deny that this record takes you to places altogether different. Cuco has been independently releasing music since he was 16 and it shows. Even the weakest moments on Para Mi reveal a close attention to detail, from the sharp pop hooks to the gelatinous soundscapes fusing funk and psychedelia. Singles Hydrocodone and Feelings are the gold standard for this intoxicating blend; the former showcasing gutting lyrical sensibilities, the latter a consummate understanding of mixing, where each layer of instrumentation is richly felt, the contours rigid even as they melt together. The forays into full-on trap on Bossa No Sé and Best Friend feel less naturalistic, and it is debatable how successfully Cuco incorporates elements of bossa nova into this frenzied palette. These outings don’t fail to entertain, and they put a spotlight on a slew of rising Latinx talents who deserve a moment to shine, but they lack the marriage of form and intention that characterises the woozy synth balladry found elsewhere. Still, it’s easy to indulge Cuco in moments that would otherwise feel extraneous. After all, this is – as made clear in the album’s title – for him. Para Mi. Waves of dreamy synths, vintage drum machines, and friendly vocal harmonies shifting between Spanish and English made up a series of self- produced mixtapes and singles from California's bedroom pop polymath Omar Banos, professionally known as Cuco. His warm, blurry style combined warbly Mac DeMarco-reminiscent guitar tones, muted beats, and strains of bossa nova, synth pop, lovestruck singer/songwriter fare, and even moments of pop-rap. The charming and infectious sound of these homespun productions was enough to stir up a massive buzz and a good old-fashioned bidding war over who would sign the young talent. Working with the major label Interscope Records, Cuco's proper studio debut, Para Mi, continues the warm eclecticism and dreamy romance of his self-produced work, but it sounds decidedly upgraded by a bigger budget and time spent in a proper studio. The songwriting and arrangements aren't dissimilar to early efforts like 2016's wonderfully hazy mixtape Wannabewithu, but where the production on those early efforts tended to be doused in generous reverb and a muffled lo-fi sound, Para Mi scrubs Cuco's sound clean. Standout single "Feelings" gives off a throwback jazz-funk vibe, with electric piano and meandering flute sounds dancing in a light sonic environment with synth horn lines. Every instrument is clearly audible and breathes in the mix, where earlier tunes felt comparatively flattened. A tendency towards genre hopping is one of the first things that stands out on Para Mi, as Cuco jumps from wobbly restless pop on "Keeping Tabs" directly into trappy bossa nova with rap-singing flows on tracks like "Best Friend" or "Bossa No Se" as well as dreamy psychedelia on "Ego Death in Thailand." Lyrically, the songs can be somewhat juvenile, with basic takes on relationship drama, listless boredom, and falling in love. A clearer sound makes Cuco's naïve perspectives easier to see and takes away some of the shaggy charm of his blown-out bedroom sounds. That said, Para Mi renders some of the best elements of his songwriting into more accessible forms. Removing the layers of fuzz leaves Cuco's multi-colored songwriting in clear view, revealing an artist still finding his way. This can make for moments of awkwardness, but it also brings his endearing vulnerabilities to the forefront. Cuco Announces Debut Album Para Mí , Shares New Song “Feelings”: Listen.

Cuco Redefines The Role Of A Teen Idol With 'Para Mí' Cuco's debut album, Para Mí , is out now via Interscope Records. Cameron Postforoosh/Courtesy of the artist. Omar Banos — best known by his stage name Cuco — is a teen idol in the making. At just 19 years old, the L.A. singer and multi-instrumentalist intoxicated audiences online with such dreamy bedroom pop songs as "Sunnyside" and "Lo Que Siento." At 21, he's selling out shows across the country. Over the past whirlwind year-and-a-half, Cuco has amassed a legion of young fans who are drawn as much to his wistful lyrics as they are to the way he embraces his Chicano roots. Now, Cuco has released his highly anticipated debut album, Para Mí . The debut record, and Cuco's respective success, are challenging preconceived notions of what a teen idol can look and sound like in today's pop landscape. Cuco layers his signature dream pop sound, instrumental abilities and Chicano influences masterfully in Para Mí . The record is bathed in a wavy, psychedelic haze. It unfurls slowly, gliding from track to track with the help of a drowsy symphony of 808 drum machines, guitars and swirling synths. Alt.Latino. Cuco Is The Cariño Of Young Latinos Who Keep Dreaming. "In the middle of the road, a beacon lighting up for help / Telling me to come back home, I don't know where to go / In the morning, with nobody next to me / In my bed, in my bed / So lonely, will somebody come and help?" Cuco wonders gloomily in "Far Away from Home." He echoes that questioning on the album's closer, "Do Better," but slips into a more hopeful tone: "Sunshine / Moonlight / My angel, darling, would you take my hand and my love? / I want to wake up next to you / Would you imagine us forever too?" There's no doubt that psych rock has influenced Cuco, but the Southern California native has many sides. Growing up, he taught himself to play the trumpet, bass, keys and French horn. Those skills are audible in the brilliant shades of smooth jazz, trap and even bossa nova on Cuco's debut. Cuco is unlike the perfectly coiffed — and usually white — teen idols of yesteryear. He sports a wispy mustache, a gold chain and unruly black hair. His delivery is tender with a touch of millennial humor. That's resonating with his teenage audience, for whom love and hate, ennui and euphoria, sincerity and sarcasm are constantly butting up against one another. All Songs Considered. New Music Friday: Our Top 7 Albums Out July 26. Cuco is also keenly aware of what it means to be a young, Mexican-American musician on the rise. He says he wants to be a face and a voice for first-generation Chicanos. He talks often about his immigrant parents and pays tribute to his South Bay roots in his music and visuals. Para Mí 's glossy tracks dipped in old-school R&B call to mind artists like MC Magic, Lil Rob, Baby Bash and Brown Boy — artists that Cuco has described as the Chicano rappers of his childhood.
