The talented singer-songwriter and producer Joshua León is back to captivate audiences with the release of his new single, “You Keep Killing Me,” which spearheads his latest EP, INMORTAL. This body of work is being hailed as a major turning point in his artistic career. The track is particularly notable, marking León’s first song ever written in English, and he poured himself into the project by producing a significant portion of it. This deeply personal approach, crafted alongside friends and his girlfriend, has resulted in a sound that feels both raw and polished, setting a high standard for his evolving style.
Finding the Groove in the Morbid
“You Keep Killing Me” is a masterclass in musical contrast. Lyrically, the track delves into the dark complexity of being caught in a cycle of a toxic relationship—the feeling of dying metaphorically only to return. However, its sonic landscape is anything but mournful. The song features a propulsive blend of electronic pop, funk, and a gritty touch of 70s guitar rock. Recorded in Miami at HitCentral Records, the modern production, which received final mixing and arrangement support from the renowned studio, has a distinct retro flair. The concept was immediately clear to the artist: “It all started with one line: ‘Like a cat with nine lives, you kill me and I return.’ That phrase unlocked the concept and from there I wanted something groovy, with a lot of textures. I kept expanding the arrangement around that idea.”
This release represents a significant step forward for Joshua León, whose sound is already known for its emotional depth and cinematic atmosphere. Influenced by his time living in the United States and channeling inspiration from artists like The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, and Teddy Swims, León successfully synthesizes these influences with references from the 80s to forge a unique sonic identity. The artistry is in the balance, as he explains: “I wanted the arrangement to be so catchy that you almost don’t notice the morbid background at first. It’s my best work so far, because it shows real growth in how I combine many different ideas into one cohesive sound.” The choice of an October 31st release date perfectly aligns with the track’s themes of death, resurrection, and vibrant darkness.
What Comes Next
With “You Keep Killing Me” promising to be one of the most impactful pieces in his growing discography, Joshua León is not slowing down. An official music video is anticipated shortly after the single’s debut, and he’s already planning his next phase of music, which he anticipates will be even more ambitious, promising “more layers, more experimentation, and bigger dynamic contrasts.” This EP confirms his position as one of the most exciting voices emerging in the new wave of Latin and alternative pop. Don’t miss the chance to experience this emotional honesty and creative power.
