Emilio, Milton and Mike call themselves LATIN MAFIA, but they have little of the mafia. These three brothers from Monterrey (Mexico) began to attract attention on Tik Tok during the pandemic and have been moving away from any possible label release after release, until releasing their first album last October, ‘ALL DÍAS TODO EL DÍA’. ‘I Feel Like I Deserve More’ is the LP’s masterpiece and Song of the Day.
It is very likely that when listening to the first seconds of the song, the music of Russian artists IDK comes to mind, with those dreamy piano notes. It turns out that LATIN MAFIA share many concerns with the Spanish collective. In fact, the trio’s only single in 2024 apart from what this album has been is precisely ‘neo roneo’ with Rusowsky.
“Listen to my voice and stay close” they sing in the first seconds of the song. This soon mutates into a pounding house that also admits flamenco claps, distorted screams and some stinging synthesizers. Thus, the topic becomes something much better, but difficult to define.
Like the video clip, worth watching carefully, the lyrics find the perfect point between the absurd and the exciting: “I feel like I deserve more / I feel like I’m not a bad kisser / I’ve practiced many hours because one day I felt very bad,” they sing in the chorus.
