Herbolaria ft. ROSAS – “A Flor de Piel”: Loving and Letting Go, The Same Trap.
“A Flor de Piel” keeps telling you to let it go. The voices insist. But your feelings pull you in another direction, settling slowly in your chest with a vibration you don’t want to interrupt. When the chorus confesses “something won’t let me go,” it stops being just the song talking; it becomes your own voice. You have felt it for a while, moving inside it without being able to stop. Herbolaria and ROSAS capture the contradiction between what you think and what you feel, between wanting to let go and not being able to. It is like those relationships where, by the time you realize it, you do not want to leave, and you cannot.
Herbolaria is the project of Anahí Iturralde, a percussionist, composer, and producer from Mazatlán who oversees every sound in her music. ROSAS is Víctor Rosas, a singer-songwriter from Culiacán who started by picking songs for theatre productions. He writes with the feeling that there is only one chance for a song to connect. One brings the body, the other brings the conscience. The song needed both.
“Maldición” revealed the spell: a love that never let her go, even when she did not realize it. “Derretida” burned in that feeling, scorched by the fire but choosing it anyway. “A Flor de Piel” is the surrender, the moment when the body has already decided. These are three singles from Herbolaria’s upcoming album, each one getting closer to the heart.
Iturralde produced the track, with Guillermo Asseburg on rhythm section and Ricardo Acosta handling mixing and mastering at Train Studio. Both Herbolaria and ROSAS are artists to watch closely.
