Last summer, one of the many artists from Puerto Rico’s independent music scene to put out work constantly was the San Juan and Mayagüez-based singer and rapper Krey. With singles like “Coco,” “Pal West,” “Negrita” and “Dime,” the young musician managed to display a range of influences from genres like hip hop, trap, R&B and dancehall. However, with his new EP, “U.F.O.,” Krey blends a few of these sounds with other more atmospheric and psychedelic ones. (cover art for the project) The first song in the project, “U.F.O.,” shows Krey fuse psychedelia and ethereal energy with an R&B influenced trap beat. Afterwards, the second entry in the EP, “Cuando Cae la Noche,” is a much more danceable tune influenced by house music as the young musician sings about the nightlife. Finally, Krey finishes his latest project with “Imaginatelo,” a fun and upbeat groovy track which will have listeners feeling like they are dancing across the stars inside the singer’s spaceship. (picture of the artist as found on his Facebook) As Krey continues to put out work, the artist is slowly showing experimentation as he explores different sounds. While in the past he has dabbled into the fields of hip hop, dancehall and R&B, with “U.F.O.” he shows a bit more range as he goes into psychedelia, house music and more pop-inspired soundscapes definitely making him one of the musicians to keep an eye on.
