MIAMI, FL (August 8, 2024) – Following the release of “Made in Paris” late last month, rising star Jasiel Nuñez makes a resounding return with “Bien High,” the third single this year from his highly anticipated album set to release this year. This powerful piece of música Mexicana delves deep into themes of unattainable love and introspection, intertwined with the act of smoking, creating a narrative that resonates both intimately and universally. “Bien High” and the official music video are now available on all streaming platforms.
“Bien High” serves as an ode to a distant and enigmatic figure who inhabits Jasiel‘s dreams, explored through a haze of smoke and heartfelt reflection. The song captures the essence of yearning and the desire to bridge the gap to the unreachable, employing vibrant piano melodies, enchanting tololoche rhythms and evocative requinto notes to immerse listeners in its emotional landscape. “Bien High” reflects Jasiel‘s internal dialogue, where smoking becomes a metaphorical vehicle to escape reality and draw closer to the object of his affection, cleverly using cosmic metaphors to reveal his vulnerability and raw desire for connection.
