Nathy Peluso confidently struts into the limelight with her latest single, “Salvaje”. The single offers a glimpse into the new musical chapter from the Argentine-born, Spanish-living artist, singer, songwriter and performer. Ballroom-culture inspired, this hypnotising hit seamlessly blends house, Latin and Afro styles.
Written and produced by Nathy, in collaboration with Didi Gutman and Illangelo, the single has been aptly described as “music for your culo”. Pulsating synth basslines and an array of drum rhythms create a dynamic and seamless blend that ignites our senses and compels our bodies to move uncontrollably. Nathy expresses her intentions for the track, stating, “with ‘Salvaje’ I want to express freedom, wildness and loads of dance. I hope people dance with this song in clubs, parties and life!”.
Teasing fans with provocative dance videos on socials, “Salvaje” has spread like wildfire, alongside a fashion-forward music video directed by Félix Bollaín and produced by Little Spain (“Tonta,” “Ateo”). The captivating video features Nathy diving into the art of voguing as she highlights her savage nature in many different looks.
Following the success of her previous single, “Tonta”, Nathy Peluso’s effortless coolness and confidence is evident. Described as having a “hypnotising Latina charm” by Office Magazine, the artist has accumulated nearly 1 billion streams worldwide. It is noted that Nathy asserts her dominance throughout her music, including in her previous self-produced single, “Estás Buenísimo” – a raw rap track that challenges the male gaze. PAPER premiered the track: “Argentinian artist Nathy Peluso is a chameleon, transcending culture and language with her slick and smart raps and production, packaged into a challenging and magnetic punk package.”
Nathy Peluso, the shape-shifting and fluid artist, thrives on creating characters and exploring diverse styles, genres, and languages. She continues to hook her audience in further, with her forthcoming releases offering a visceral and vulnerable, sexy yet nonconformist experience with both her onstage and online presence.
