Let’s Talk is the debut single release from LA-based musician Johnny Cisneros, and it’s the kind of introduction to an artist that shimmers with hope and possibility.
In addition to drawing on his Latin roots, Cisneros takes inspiration from the sounds of dream pop and psychedelic rock to create something both varied and accessible. Here on Let’s Talk, the resulting sound floats with a slick, yet lived-in, feeling — glossy, plastic wrapped around laid back, casual vocals from Cisneros. It’s modern, yet earthy.
The comfortable, dream-like feel of the music itself makes sense given the song’s inspiration. Let’s Talk itself is intended as a long-distant conversation with one of the artist’s former girlfriends. Plunged into a new city and a different way of life, the song represents Cisneros reaching out to the person whose voice most feels like home… An attempt to recall the past as a way to remember who he wants to be. A daydream of a person just beyond your grasp, yet on your mind.
