Drawing us in with cerebral, industrial textures akin to a heartbeat and intricate percussion, ESTRADA Music Project opens You Are Not Alone with a poignant spoken word introduction with the words, “I’m writing this letter to let you know, that I received the result of your most recent scan, performed in the hospital three weeks ago…”
The opus expands with a dar wave adjacent guitar soundscape to take us on an emotive journey from Dr. Alejandro Estrada who is a practicing urologist creating music as a direct reflection of his medical experience.
You Are Not Alone serves as a song dedicated to patients who are waiting to see a doctor and discuss their test results. Dr. Alejandro Estrada comments, “Whatever their response, this is a reminder that they are not alone…”
He sings, “We won’t be able to make you smile…” – the track has a very honest and relatable theme which anyone who has been in such a situation would be able to understand. It feels akin to a musical episode of Grey’s Anatomy if it was created by The Cure.
We love the dimensional dark wave synth-pop energy that manifests and the unique fusion of medical professionalism, human experience and music. What ESTRADA Music Project is manifesting is extremely unique, albeit something that people around the world can connect to on a personal level.
You Are Not Alone comes with a captivating music video that reflects the song’s themes, featuring “intricate art created within petri dishes, using microbiology cultures of bacteria and fungi to form beautiful and unexpected shapes.” Dr. Alejandro Estrada says, “This innovative concept draws a powerful parallel to finding beauty and hope in the clinical, often sterile, environment of medicine.”
We have added You Are Not Alone to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of ESTRADA Music Project, including We are not God, and What can I say?.
