Made up of sisters Vic and Gabby Banuelos, “Coachella” sees Mexican-American duo REYNA nostalgic for rose-tinted summer fun.
“Coachella” is a sultry pop classic dripping in bittersweet emotion, replete with Mariachi trumpets referencing the siblings' Mexican heritage. Feeling for a long time as if they weren’t “American enough for Americans nor Mexican enough for Mexicans,” but “Coachella” sees REYNA claim ownership of their heritage by singing in Spanish for the first time.
Written about their happy memories at last year’s Coachella, but also the end of Vic’s relationship, the difficult emotions the track addresses now extend to the universal frustration of global lockdown. “In January we were saying 'We were so happy at Coachella…' and now a few months later it’s crazy how much life has changed,” say REYNA.
“It’s so daunting to see that all the festivals, shows, gatherings have been cancelled and never in our wildest thoughts did we imagine we would be living through this. We’re looking forward to everything going back to normal, though we know things will forever be changed. We are readjusting to this new normal and look forward to the day that we can either play another festival or simply attend a festival with our friends. That’s going to feel like a fucking luxury.”
Formerly rising stars in the indie-pop scene, the sisters rebranded under the name REYNA, a play on the Spanish word for ‘queen’. They brought with them a more '80s-inspired pop sound, with the likes of Tegan and Sara giving a co-sign.
