Ignacio Peña Drops a Celestial Party Track ‘To The Stars’
Some artists make songs, Ignacio Peña makes universes. With his latest release To The Stars, the Emmy-winning singer-songwriter reminds us why he’s long been celebrated as both a musician and storyteller. The track feels like a dazzling meeting point of science, art, and dance culture, where big ideas orbit around irresistible grooves.
At first listen, To The Stars pulls you in with its glistening synths and magnetic beat, tailor-made for shuffle dancing. But stay awhile, and its deeper layers begin to shine. The horns, arranged by Joe Keys, punch through the mix like radiant beams, while the Epoch House Choir’s vocals add a soulful global resonance that roots the track in humanity. It’s as much about movement as it is about meaning.
What sets Peña apart is his ability to bridge worlds: the rational wonder of Carl Sagan with the kinetic power of dance music, the timeless warmth of live instrumentation with the precision of electronic production. His lyrics nod to Sagan’s reminder that we’re all passengers on the same tiny world, yet he reframes the sentiment with euphoria rather than melancholy.
Visually, the single comes alive through its video concept: an alien civilization stumbles upon the Golden Record—NASA’s 1977 message-in-a-bottle to the universe—and responds not with fear or analysis, but with celebration. It’s a metaphor for music itself, a force that transcends language and distance to create connection.
To The Stars is more than just a track, it’s a manifesto for curiosity and joy. Ignacio Peña isn’t content with catchy hooks; he’s crafting soundtracks for wonder, encouraging us to dance, dream, and look upward.
Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!
Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.
First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
