Loyal Lobos, the brainchild of singer-songwriter Andrea Silva, presents a unique musical collaboration on her latest single, "Bendecirte," featuring emerging underground rapper Ángel Dumile. This dreamy and nostalgic track is a poignant exploration of loss, rebirth, and growth. The singer's gratitude towards her experiences for shaping her into the person she is and will become is palpable, evoking a sense of sentimentality and reflection.

The single opens with angelic vocal samples and the warm crackling sound of a vinyl record turning on the needle before layers of glitchy distortion and record scratching blend into the mix. Silva delivers the pre-chorus with a sweet tenderness, her lyrics a raw expression of how she punishes herself with longing for her love, and even if they hurt her, she always promises to bless them from heaven.

Silva spoke on the single, sharing, "'Bendecirte' is a song with a nostalgic soul that express the pain of saying goodbye, but it's also about the relief and the peace that comes with the acceptance, exploring grief of letting someone go through being thankful and nostalgic at the same time. With a melody based on melancholy, and with lyrics that reflect a departure in peace. This song pays homage to my own experience, transforming a loss into learning and growing."

The accompanying music video is a visual masterpiece that perfectly complements the track's dreamy essence. It takes viewers on a journey, following the duo as they traverse a day in Bogota. Artistic footage intercuts clips of the pair spending the day lying in grass fields reading poetry, hanging out with horses, and walking rain-coated streets at night.

The new single is the first release since her last EP, Loba Vol. 2, which saw her add a splash of mysticism to the genre, meticulously weaving introspective themes of identity and vulnerability. The record, a short six-track collection, feels like a call of the wild, beckoning listeners to dig into primal instincts.
