Pipe Bueno – Tengo Mucha Sed

Pipe Bueno, a leading figure in Colombian popular music, returns with his latest single, “Tengo Mucha Sed.” This track takes listeners on an emotional journey, offering a raw and direct expression of release. After a string of successful projects and collaborations that have positioned him as a key voice in regional music, Pipe is once again pushing boundaries with a sound that reflects his signature style while breaking new ground.

Described by Pipe as a special gift for his fans before the end of the year, “Tengo Mucha Sed” was penned by Andres Felipe Giraldo Bueno, Jhonatan Hernandez Granados, Juan Gabriel Rodriguez Monsalve, Yohan Usuga, Simon Escobar Uribe, and Carlos Adolfo Perez. The song delves into the deep emotions of someone who, through moments of reflection and indulgence, confronts their own vulnerability. With lyrics that paint vivid scenes of escape and revelry, Pipe captures the essence of uncertainty, set to a pulsating rhythm that mirrors an unsettled mind. Produced by Yohan Usuga and mixed and mastered by Juan Esteban Duque, the track’s powerful and authentic sound further elevates its emotional impact.

The accompanying music video, directed by Julián Grajales, perfectly complements the song’s theme with bold visuals that embrace a wild, carefree spirit. Each scene breaks away from the routine, celebrating the present moment with unrestrained energy. The result is a visually compelling piece that fully aligns with the intensity of “Tengo Mucha Sed.”

This release continues Pipe Bueno’s journey of blending traditional popular music with modern, innovative elements. Following his recent signing with Warner Music Latina, Pipe has expanded his reach, collaborating with key industry figures and experimenting with sounds that reflect his evolving artistry. “Tengo Mucha Sed” is the latest example of this progression, showcasing his ability to create music that is both distinctive and deeply resonant.

Coming on the heels of his hit “Mírame (feat. Blessd) (Remix)” with Edgardo Núñez and Blessd, and the standout track “Una Pregunta” with Gerardo Coronel, Pipe once again proves that his music transcends genres, continually exploring new creative possibilities while staying true to his vision.

“Tengo Mucha Sed” is now available on all major digital music platforms.

Vevo, the world’s leading music video network, announces the release of GRAMMY nominated genre blending artist Halsey’s Official Live Performance of “Panic Attack,” off her new album, The Great Impersonator. Vevo’s Official Live Performances are the result of close creative collaboration with artists and their teams, resulting in a series of very special exclusive performances.

Vevo and Halsey have a long history of working together. Halsey first performed on Vevo’s DSCVR set with “Hurricane” in 2015, followed by LIFT Live performances of “Hold Me Down,” “Ghost,” “New Americana,” “Roman Holiday” and “Is There Somewhere” in 2015 and 2016. In 2017, Halsey released Vevo Presents performances of “Heaven in Hiding,” “Now or Never, “Strangers,” “Lie,” “100 Letters,” “Eyes Closed”, and “Walls Could Talk”.

To visually interpret her new album, Vevo and Halsey partnered to create four meticulously designed videos – each one encapsulating a different aesthetic of music from the ‘70s through the early 2000s. The full series features interconnected stages that allow her to shape-shift through space and time, exploring each decade of music. Captured on 35mm film stock, every creative detail of the production was carefully curated to be period specific, from the lighting design to the instruments the band are playing. In each performance, Halsey goes beyond an impersonation to truly inhabit the spirit and intention of each musical genre.

Set in the ‘70s, “Panic Attack” kicks off the series, with Halsey dressed in a Stevie Nicks-inspired vintage dress, sourced from one of LA’s most iconic wardrobe rental houses. Adding her personal touch, Halsey even did her own makeup, largely drawing from her own cosmetics line, About Face.

“For the past nine years, we’ve had the privilege of seeing Halsey’s uniquely expansive vision for her work come to life, with her gracing multiple Vevo franchises. Halsey is, and always has been, a creative force of nature – and this time, fans get to see another side to her,” says JP Evangelista, SVP, Content, Programming and Marketing, Vevo, “With each performance distinctly reflecting an era, Halsey brings her fans on a nostalgic journey through time and introduces them to her various personas. We look forward to releasing the next decade piece.”

Official Live Performances are the flagship original content for Vevo, working with the biggest names in music – they are the result of close creative collaboration with artists and their teams, resulting in a series of very special exclusive performances. Specifically tailored creatives meant to fit the vision of each individual artist chosen, these performances connect artists with their global audience of fans adding to their visual library.
