“A heartfelt and meaningful track, ‘Rodeo Clown,’ could be Obed Padilla’s best offering to date. The track is about grief and heartbreak and feeling like you are taking too long to move on to the next phase of life. It si a reminder that we are all on our own emotional journey and there are no road maps.”
“obed Padilla utilizes soft tender vocals to deliver the bi-lingual track, ‘Rainforest.’ The vocal style reminds me a bit of a Poppier Jack Johnson with a little Latin flair. Lyrically this song is about the acceptance stage of grief and much like that stage the track brings a calmness that is palpable.”
“Obed Padilla now calls Oceanside home , but this Chicano singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist brings a sound that mixes his Latin roots with a Southern California flair. The sounds of Mexico and Costa Rica are tangible with his new single, ‘Broncos y Benzes,’ and the Latin hip-hop helps the track shine.”
Speaking on this new release, Obed shares; ‘I’m super excited for Broncos N Benzs to be out. I wrote it with Billy Mann and Aftrhrs. We reproduced what we had originally made and it sounds completely different from the OG version. It came out really dope. Everybody who worked on it is super talented and I’m grateful to be in the room with these guys.’”
