La Reina lives up to her name as the New Queen of Pop Ascends the Album Chart
Ahead of GanJam 5513, the new reigning Hot 100 Album Chart Queen is the Kaliburg breakout artist La Reina. Her debut album No Sleep til Sulari, anchored by lead single "Crazy Right Now", released by KMI, is "a masterful blend of hip hop tinted R&B and edgy pop music," according to music critic Dionne Francisco. "La Reina has a lot of natural talent, but what she has way more of is charisma. She takes what, in anyone else's hands would be a pretty run of the mill pop tune and just adds an excitement, like electricity, that makes every song a banger. Its got the swagger and stacatto of hip hop, but its also melodic. It's like a record of hooks."
La Reina, whose real name is Regina Cervantes-Durand, was raised in Kaliburg, and was signed after her agent got her an audition with KMI hitmaker Brit Lathrop, who has produced 14 albums for KMI in recent years. La Reina and Lathrop produced the EP Chemical Attraction which hit number 1 on the Radio 5 Pop Bubblers poll. This success led to KMI putting some real money into La Reina's full LP No Sleep til Sulai, which features 12 pop&B tunes, mostly about love, partying, and dancing. "La Reina dips a couple toes into RF on this record in rather unexpected ways," wrote Francisco. "While the music sticks to some solid pop with R&B vocals, she also draws a lot of her instrumentation from electronica influences too. The lyrics are loaded with entendre: its not a G rated record. But its also fun. La Reina is having a lot of fun on this record, and she and Lathrop play off each other with a bunch of little touches, like doubling vocals, synthesizing massive horn sections, and keeping the four on the floor which are meant to keep everyone on the dancefloor all night long, and then, maybe move off to do Goodness knows what."
Following her selection to the top of the Album chart, La Reina signed with ODEN to play RF Night. "Its been too long since there was a GanJam, and it's been too long since we had RF at the show," said La Reina to the Press. "I'm signing to do an RF set, and there might be some surprises there. I want the people to f--kin get down!" La Reina's camp gave no clues as to what the surprises could be, but moving in a more RF direction would be both quite exciting and a natural progression for the singer. "I think RF as a style can take me a lot farther in where I want to go. Now that I've put down my mark, and people know my music, its time to blow up!" When asked what the wildest thing she hopes to see at GanJam, she said "I want the Empress to meet The Queen."
Check out La Reina's massive lead single "Crazy Right Now" featuring Addisjah Rapper Mad Zeppelin, from her Debut LP No Sleep til Sulari, released by KMI, and then come see La Reina on Night 2 of GanJam in March.
