\u201cThe song wasn\u2019t initially conceived as a duet, but once we began working on it together, it became something of its own,\u201d explains A. Mateo. \u201cIt stopped feeling like one person\u2019s song with somebody else added to it. The two voices became equally important to what the track was trying to communicate.\u201d<\/p>\n
The release offers an early glimpse of the directions both artists plan to explore in their forthcoming material. For Reindr, it introduces a new era shaped by collaboration, experimentation and a developing visual narrative. For A. Mateo, \u201cDestina2\u201d marks a return to producing music for other performers while continuing to develop his own genre-fluid project.<\/p>\n
That wider narrative is already visible in the single\u2019s artwork. Drawing from the striking imagery and psychological science fiction associated with Neon Genesis Evangelion, the cover introduces the first elements of a broader lore surrounding Reindr\u2019s comeback\u2014one that will continue to unfold through future releases.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to put this song out as a way of showing where we\u2019re both heading without turning it into a huge formal announcement,\u201d says A. Mateo. \u201cThere are new sounds we want to explore and more collaborations already taking shape. This felt like the right place to begin.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDestina2\u201d also reconnects the pair after their previous involvement in \u201cAmo A Quien Me Hace Mal,\u201d released by Reindr and Namuel under the name LGBTriste. The track was produced by KennyChops and A. Mateo, establishing a creative relationship that now enters a new stage through a more direct collaboration between Reindr and A. Mateo themselves.<\/p>\n
Based in Santiago, Reindr has become a familiar presence in Chile\u2019s independent queer pop scene, joining a generation of artists reshaping the city\u2019s DIY landscape alongside names such as Barbacius, Noah Blanco and Kevz.<\/p>\n
A. Mateo is a Chilean independent artist, producer and songwriter whose music moves between electronic production, guitar textures, rap-influenced rhythms and digitally processed vocals. Working in English and Spanish, he approaches each release without committing to a single genre.<\/p>\n
\u201cDestina2\u201d is available now on major streaming platforms.<\/p>\n
