Review Written by Victoria Scott & Staff
The W.A M. Awards celebrate the year’s most outstanding independent artists from around the world in multiple genres and categories. "Best Song" and "Best Album" nominations were based on Artistry, Musicianship, Originality, Professionalism, Diversity, and Excellence. W.A.M. stands for "We Are the Music Makers.' Labán' song "Acércate" was the 2020 W.A.M. Award Winner for Best Song in the Latin music category.
Labán’s savory love ballad “Acércate” will touch your heart with its sultry saxophone and jazzy instrumentation. Labán’s seductive vocals, reggae tone beat, and smooth guitar riffs open up the chorus. The smokin’ rhythm section emphasizes the intense and silky harmonies as the saxophone riffs under the warm vocals. Labán lyrics, arrangement, and production are sensational with smooth jazz lines and funk beats.
"Acércates" is a beautiful love ballad expressing the passions of two lovers. The lyrics are sung beautifully by Labán, "Acércate, acércate, cuando no tienes compromisos, Acércate y esperemos que la vida nos deja mantener nuestro amor, hasta el final, y que nuestra voluntad impida nuestro amargo amor, de la contaminación." In English means,"Come closer, come closer, when you have no commitments, Come closer, and let's hope, that life lets us keep our love until the end, and that our will prevents our bitter love from contamination." The glorious sounds of his smooth voice resonates, so clearly, a beautiful love letter of admiration.
Labán artistry is electrifying and truthful in its raw expression, and alluring vocals, and funky jazz grooves. “Acércates” touches your heart with its Latin jazz and soul influences, and the brilliant performance by Labán who will have you soaring. He is an extraordinary musician with a unique and ingenious style.
