"CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso have tapped Jack Black for their new song "Goo Goo Ga Ga." Moving away from the rock-tinged strut of "Hasta Jesús Tuvo un Mal Día" and reprising a jazzier, bossa nova-based approach, "Goo Goo Ga Ga" is CA7RIEL and Paco at their sweetest. The song also arrives with a bonkers music video where CA7RIEL, Paco, and Black undergo a "Cryo-Cerebral Rebirth" and regress to childlike states to heal their emotional wounds."
"Most hip-hop posse cuts are based on high-octane energy, but sometimes we need to hear a group of MCs wax poetic about the delicate nature of life. Per Cavalier, the song is "about the quiet work of staying present - through grief, fatherhood, memory, and the weight of becoming someone new while carrying everything you've been." Also featuring the gifted rappers Navy Blue and Denmark Vessey, "Holding On" is a reflective exploration of life's complexities."
