On “Agradecido,” Emerging Duval Indie-Pop Artist Huan Pens a Sincere Song in Spanish

Huan, the Jacksonville-based purveyor of dreamy indie-pop has released his latest single, “Agradecido,” an open thank-you note to his mother, and his first single in Spanish. “This is my love letter to her while leaving a digital footprint at the same time,” Huan said about the song in an email. “Her name and voice deserve to live forever. I didn’t want to wait until she’s gone to express how I feel.” He also told us love, gratitude and forgiveness are the pillars for this song. 

The song starts with a melodic and percussive acoustic-guitar figure that provides the song with a subtle bossa-nova feel. Layers of harmonies throughout the song’s chorus root “Agradecido” in the kind of lighthearted, indie-pop for which Huan’s become increasingly well known. “Agradecido” is infused with a sincere sweetness, making it a perfect playlist addition, especially for the times you might find yourself driving around with the maternal figure in your life.
