Vibras De Noche II
Vibras De Noche II
Released back when Eslabon Armado were still emerging música mexicana talents, the original Vibras de Noche from 2020 embodied the essence of after-dark lonesome listening experienced by teenagers such as themselves. The abundance of love songs contained within, including “Dame Tu Calor” and “Te Quiero A Ti,” contrasted with the modernized corridos of their prior work, endearing themselves further to what soon became a massive fanbase. Revisiting that aesthetic with another five years’ worth of experience under their belts, both musically and presumably in matters of the heart, Pedro Tovar’s group makes this sequel truly worthy of its predecessor’s imprimatur.
To call Vibras de Noche II a return to form would undermine just how far Eslabon Armado has come creatively. There’s evident nuance in the instrumental arrangements on songs like “Eres Arte <3” and “NO VOY A JUGAR,” showcasing not only artistic growth but greater aspirations. Tovar’s voice feels somewhat more lived-in as well, his delivery on “OTRAS 24 HORAS” and the deliberately messy “TE ODIO!” both particularly arresting. Bearing a world-weariness that’s fundamentally relatable, “KE DIABLOS HICE II” calls back to 2022’s NOSTALGIA.
A rare guest on this explicitly intimate outing, freshly viral sensation Macario Martínez brings a genuinely devastating energy to the dour “Esa noche.” At times, things reach a point where listeners may feel like they’re eavesdropping, particularly during interludes and non-musical segues like the ones at the tail end of “M & D.” On the other hand, the album isn’t entirely fixated on romantic themes, with the vibrant corrido “El Alegre” extolling the virtues of quality time with the boys.
