Zara Wynn is an emerging Uruguayan singer/songwriter. From a very young age, music has been her refuge and driving force, leading her to create songs that both sound good and resonate with the listener. And in a short time, Wynn has received attention explosively authentic songs, anchored around bold lyrics and vibrant melodies and a blend of strength, resiliency and earnest emotion.
The Uruguayan artist’s latest single “Tengo Ganas de Llamarte” is a mid-tempo ballad that effortlessly pairs Wynn’s earnest delivery with a soulful and traditional-leaning arrangement that reminds me of the music you’d hear blaring out of cars, businesses and apartments around Roosevelt Avenue.
Wynn explains that the song captures the tension between the excitement of wanting to talk to that special someone and the fear of being rejected by that special someone. The song’s narrator is in a familiar situation to most of us: that struggle with the crippling indecision and self-doubt that affairs of the heart can inspire — no matter how self-assured we are.
