In this, my first emerging artist feature of 2023, I am shining a spotlight on the New York-residing synth-pop artist, producer and writer Bentley Robles<\/strong>. With good reason, he is rightly proud of his Chicano descent, although he was born and raised in Los Angeles. Bentley now thrives in Brooklyn, where the songs “i hate the weekend<\/strong>” and a cover of the ABBA<\/strong> smash “Lay All Your Love On Me<\/strong>” helped to make him one of the defining voices of New York underground. With that said, it feels only proper that his first offering of the year sees Bentley draw upon his Latin heritage in the latest single release, “Salvatore<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I am a relatively new listener, I believe this is the first time he recorded a bilingual track. Yet seamlessly, it fits in with Telenova’s theme that inspired him to write, in the first instance, a song “about the internal war between good and evil<\/strong>“. The \u201coh sa-sa-sa, salvatore, salvatore<\/strong>,\u201d lyric, Robles refers to as \u201cthe little but loud brother\u201d of<\/strong> Lady Gaga<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cAlejandro<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d is a valid comparison!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Listen<\/a>\n\n\n\n
