RELEASES FIRST SINGLE FOR THE LABEL
May 30, 2024 (New York, NY)-- Mom+Pop Music today announces the signing of singer/songwriter pablopablo (aka Pablo Drexler). The London/Madrid-based artist is already a Latin Grammy Award-winning artist following his studies at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. pablopablo received two Latin Grammy awards in 2022 for “Best Song” and “Best Recording” for his work in composing and producing “Tocarte” under his name Pablo Drexler, and continues as a multi-hyphenate signing with Mom+Pop as a recording artist. In celebration of the partnership, pablopablo is releasing his first single and video, “Mi Culpa,” which is out today via Mom+Pop/ADA.
“Mi Culpa” highlights pablopablo’s artistic chops in songwriting, production, and performance. He delivers a sonically dynamic sound, mixed with emotional lyrics and his heartfelt delivery as a vocalist.
Pablo wrote, recorded, and produced the bittersweet ballad “Mi Culpa” in the hours after going to a karaoke bar, “Mi Culpa” came together after a night out in Madrid. I’ve always been fascinated by karaoke bars and the characters in them, with so many of them going on their own and taking the performance really seriously.” He continues, “I love trying to figure out their story… sometimes making them up about who they are and what they are doing there, so this time, I wrote the perfect song to sing in that place!”
The song tells a story about two people who, after sharing the same intimate universe for a long time, face the harsh reality of seeing each other as nothing more than strangers and the guilt that comes with it. Pablo continues, “It’s the sort of song that you’d sing at the end of the night, when you are already drunk and finally come to terms with the fact that you are going to have to accept whatever you were trying to run from.”
Underscoring Pablo's inspiration for the song, the accompanying “Mi Culpa” video, directed by Leila Rodríguez, features his poignant and stirring performance at an underground karaoke bar.
With major tours and festival dates across Europe, including Pitchfork Paris, Eurosonic Noorderslag, Sónar and Vida in Barcelona this summer, Pablo kicked 2024 off with his most successful song, “Sidekick,” his collaboration with Guitarricadelafuente. In addition to recording his upcoming debut album, Pablo has a series of international tour dates, including supporting The Marías.
