Fuerza Regida turn up the heat with their new album “Pero No Te Enamores.” The Mexican music superstars create “Jersey Corridos,” blending traditional and modern genres while welcoming guests like Maluma, Gordo, Major Lazer, and Alok. The highly-anticipated new album arrives via Rancho Humilde/Street Mob Records/Sony Music Latin. In a radical leap forward, the San Bernardino, CA native band, led by frontman and songwriter Jesus Ortiz Paz, incorporates elements of electronic music, Jersey Club, hip-hop, and more into their trademark corrido sound.
The group has received critical praise, winning the 2023 Billboard Music Awards for “Top Duo/Group” and “Top Latin Duo/Group.” Billboard noted that “Belikeada” is a testament to their ability to push boundaries while staying true to their roots. The Los Angeles Times highlighted the band’s embodiment of the American Dream, focusing on themes of hard work and its rewards. Variety praised their collaboration with Shakira on “El Jefe,” which defends the working class and addresses bad bosses.
Ever since their formation in San Bernardino, CA, Fuerza Regida have been stretching the boundaries of the corrido style, using both traditional and digital instrumentation and incorporating elements from genres like electronic and hip-hop. Today, the superstar Mexican music act shares “Pero No Te Enamores,” their new album, changing their sound once more but keeping the same devil-may-care energy that their fans have always loved.
On “Pero No Te Enamores,” which translates to “but don’t fall in love,” Fuerza Regida catapult their corridos from the barrio to the club, weaving in elements of multiple high-energy genres into a singular mix. The group is led in its efforts by velvety-voiced frontman and songwriter Jesus Ortiz Paz, whose appealing rasp helps ground even the most far-out flight of fancy with relatable relationship stories and furious flexes. The new album features production from well-known sound architects, including Gordo (fka Carnage) and Synthetic (Lil Uzi Vert).
