00:00Hi guys, I'm Feso Pluma and we're going to talk about my new album, Exodus, with Variety.
00:10It's very different, Exodus from Genesis, you know, I think I reached some maturity in my vocals
00:17and I think from every day and from every artist that I collaborate with
00:21I learn something new from every one of them and I just try to grab those little things
00:27those inspirations from the studio and just bringing it to my music.
00:30One song can be done in five minutes, one song can be done in two hours
00:35depending on how we are feeling. For example, Solicitado.
00:43I think it's a very special song from the album because its own name says
00:49what am I talking about, no? I think it's the requested one.
00:53Having nothing to have it all, everything changes in your life, no?
00:58And I think in my life everything changed and I wanted people to see both sides of the coin
01:03and why am I acting the way I am now.
01:11It's just being requested by everyone now that things are going very well
01:16now that I'm a famous person, now everybody looks up to you
01:20bigger audience want to collaborate with you when back in the day it wasn't nothing like that
01:25I'm just giving a response of why am I acting like that.
01:28Every song has a different process but when I'm doing regional and Mexican music
01:33I always have my group with me so I can hear their opinions about their instruments
01:38of what they do better, you know, and I think that's very comfortable for me
01:42being in the studio with them and just having their opinion to make the song better.
01:46Right now we are a group of nine members. It started with my compadre Lalito
01:52who's a friend of mine from years ago and then I met Parca
01:56who's now the musically director from the band and from there we all three decided
02:03who was going to be in the project and who was not.
02:05And the real important thing here is that in every rehearsal, in every stage we perform
02:11we feel very familiar. This feels like a family, not like a band or a group, you know.
02:16I think that's the most important part of the group, that we all have chemistry and we all get together.
02:25If you are used to hear Tu Peso Pluma songs in the Mexican music
02:30I always use Tolo Loche. In this song we replaced it with an actual electric bass
02:36and the ones who knows about this kind of instruments is going to like it a lot.
02:41This mysterious sound, it was just vibing in the studio.
02:44I remember I was with Neto, who's my producer, a Grammy winner too, from Genesis.
02:49We were in the studio vibing and we were trying to master and mix Rosa Pastel from Genesis
02:55which was Jassiel Nunez's collaboration in that album.
03:07Puro Rosa Pastel.
03:09And we were trying to make it different. I was visualizing this kind of angels in the back
03:13with that song because it's a real beautiful melody.
03:17And I was kind of hearing these backgrounds like in my head, not in the song.
03:22And I was just telling Neto, I hear this, how can we make it happen?
03:26And we started playing with different effects, we started playing with different things in the computer
03:30and we did that actual sound and from there everybody wanted to do it
03:35and everybody wanted to put that on their music.
03:38I think we trademarked that and that's our trademark.
03:42That's Peso Pluma's trademark and we should be proud of other upcoming artists doing it as well.
03:52For example, there's a lot of songs that were shown to me like the Cardi B one
03:56that was shown to me from her producers and I love the song.
04:01Whatever is happening in the industry right now, it was going to be the perfect mix of both worlds
04:06and Cardi is just a lovely person who gave me that opportunity and I'm really grateful.
04:19It was just a vibe. Her producers sent me the song and I loved it.
04:24And I even loved more the fact that she was singing in Spanish because it was going to be easier for me.
04:30It is one of my favorite songs from the album, from the whole album.
04:34I would put it on my top three.
04:36So Hollywood is a song written by Esteban Plazola.
04:39I know him since we were 18 years old.
04:42Now he just signed to my label. He's doing real great things.
04:46He's working on his album. This is a cover actually.
04:49It's actually the first cover that I put in one of my albums.
04:52We put our Peso Pluma sound in it.
04:55We did our own production and we just made it a thousand times better from what it was.
05:01And the lyrics talk by itself.
05:05We are talking about reality and how our lives went through this process of being famous
05:12and getting money and getting whatever we wanted since we were kids and how we looked at it now.
05:19Ice is a very special song because it was one of the last ones to be on the album.
05:24This song is just so special for me.
05:27It has this intro by Ric Flair.
05:35Ric Flair was a big inspiration for me when I was growing up watching the WWE
05:41and just the drip that he had and all these luxury things that he showed us.
05:47I just put him in the song because that's what the song talks about.
05:51Now that I'm wearing diamonds, everybody wants to wear diamonds.
05:54Everybody's trying to copy what the project is looking like.
05:58And no matter what they copy or how much they copy, they're never going to be Peso Pluma.
06:04Genesis was the beginning of everything, the beginning of a new era in Mexican music.
06:10It was just a monster, a big monster that came into the global charts and took over every genre.
06:17And I think last year, Genesis marked a before and an after.
06:21This is a total evolution. This is Mexican revolution.
06:24This is the next step. I think Exodo is opening doors.
06:28That's why it's named.
06:30We are opening doors for Mexican music and upcoming artists
06:34to be even more global than Mexican music is right now.
06:46You
