Released on 5th February 2026, the single blends Latin pop and tropical textures with understated R&B influences, offering a sound that feels both contemporary and deeply personal.
Daniela has steadily built a catalogue defined by expressive vocals and introspective songwriting, with previous releases including ‘Ni De Aquí, Ni De Allá’, ‘Contigo’, ‘HOSTAGE’, and ‘UNFORGETTABLE’ — the latter earning notable praise from Folk N Rock. Rather than chasing trends, her work prioritises feeling and narrative, something that carries through strongly on ‘Bésame’.
The track’s production is intentionally restrained. Built around guitar, percussion, and looping rhythmic elements, ‘Bésame’ relies on groove and repetition rather than dramatic shifts. That repetition plays a key role in the song’s emotional impact, reflecting the trance-like state of early attraction — when music, environment, and connection blur together into a single experience.
‘Bésame’ explores spontaneity and presence. It’s flirty and romantic without leaning into cliché, sensual without feeling overproduced. Daniela has described the track as a celebration of touch and physical connection — a conscious contrast to the increasingly digital way relationships often unfold.
The release also marks an important moment in Daniela’s artistic journey. In 2025, she stepped away from releasing music to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, strengthening her approach to storytelling and performance. That theatrical understanding subtly informs ‘Bésame’, particularly in its pacing and emotional control.
Based in Houston, Daniela continues to operate fully independently, shaping her career on her own terms. With additional releases planned in the coming months and live performances scheduled from February 2026 onwards, ‘Bésame’ signals a focused and confident new phase.
For playlist curators and tastemakers drawn to artists like Karol G, Camila Cabello, and Kali Uchis, ‘Bésame’ offers a softer, more intimate take on Latin-influenced pop — one that values connection over spectacle and artistry over noise.
