Peso Pluma, Bye | Track Review

Mexican singer Peso Pluma impresses on his vibe-laden single, “Bye” where a relationship has ended and he appears to be moving on with ease.

“B“Bye / Mejor sigue tu camino / Mientras fumo y tomo vino / Que estar contigo ya no me convino.” Woo! In the excerpt from “Bye”, an intriguing single from Mexican singer, Peso Pluma (Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija), things are ending between him and his girlfriend. In the chorus, excerpted above, Laija suggests this breakup is for the best, and goes on later to add other girls have his attention. Oh, snap ! The narrative is familiar and relatable (with translation, of course ); Love and the plight of love is universal, after all and NEVER gets old.  Furthermore, Pluma sings sublimely with ample expression – he sells it to us, baby!

Additionally, “Bye” is a melodious track too.  The tunefulness makes it endearing, regardless of the ability to comprehend Spanish or not. With the theme reflecting the end of a relationship, Pluma’s voice showing a gifted star, and tuneful melodies giving the track a lift, the music might be what is most ear catching. Pluma produced “Bye” alongside Parka. Embracing a different realm of Latin music, “Bye” exemplifies Música Mexicana – Regional Mexican music.  The instrumentation includes horns, particularly that assertive, saucy trombone, string bass, and of course, guitar.  The end result is a surefire vibe – a must-hear addition to the listening rotation!
