Following a six-year hiatus, the Ecuadorian-born, Brooklyn-based dream-pop artist Maria Usbeck made a triumphant return to the music scene last year with her acclaimed album Naturaleza. Building on that momentum, Usbeck has officially announced her latest project, a new EP titled Canciones De Amor. The upcoming collection features a collaborative spirit, with Usbeck working alongside a team of musicians that includes Wild Nothing’s Jack Tatum.
To celebrate the announcement, Usbeck has shared the EP’s opening track, “Luz.” The song serves as a perfect introduction to the project, blending mellow, floaty jazz sensibilities with lush, high-fidelity synthpop textures. It is a sparkling, atmospheric number that highlights Usbeck’s continued evolution as a songwriter.
The tracklist for the upcoming EP is as follows:
- 01 “Luz”
- 02 “Chirimoya”
- 03 “Lágrimas Lágrimas”
- 04 “Crushin’”
- 05 “Always Raining”
Canciones De Amor is scheduled for release on September 18 via Cascine.
