Ilyssa Saenzis making a return to Tejano music after pursuing a career in education and the talented singer released the latest single, “Confía en Mí,” from her highly-anticipated comeback album.
The upbeat, guitar-driven cumbia was co-written byJoel VillarrealandSevero “Sevy” Contrerasand Ilyssa tellsTejano Nationit’s a different sound for the Best New Female nominee at theTejano Music Awardsin 2010.
“I’m super excited about it because it’s something I’ve never really done before, it’s a little bit out of my element,” she said. “I wanted to do something a little bit different for this new single.”
The previous singles from Ilyssa included “Ayer” featuringDavid Lee Garza, which had a traditional Tejano sound, and the following release was a Mariachi single titled “Hasta Cuando.”
“I fell in love with the tune,” Ilyssa said about her latest release. “I thought it had a little catchy tune, a little catchy groove. Once we added the electric guitar, it just took on this different kind of vibe just to do something different and something fun.”
The hot summer track features many talented Tejano musicians including drummerJoey Sanchez, bassistJulio Lugo, guitaristSteve Alvarez, percussionistEmanuel Escamilla, and keyboardist “Mr. Slackmonster” Severo “Sevy” Contreras, with background vocals from Joel Villarreal.
