Levantando las Manos

Increíble propuesta musical: Yo logra un sonido que atrapa por su toque tétrico y oscuro, le dieron un giro de 180 grados al tema original.
Frecuencia Alternativa

Carefully crafted sound, one of those that feels like a much-needed respite: a pop that blends with the emotion of a ballad and the nostalgic air of a bolero.

Feeling increíble
Caoba Records

Melomaniak
Grandísima voz, de esas que tienen profundidad y transmiten de verdad.

Levantando las manos maneja unos tonos interesantes llenos de misterio.
Leví Landaverde
Excelente interpretación vocal. Cuánto me gusta ese estilo crudo y cansado.
Pablo Monroy (Rolling Stone México)
Interesante cover: nunca imaginé algo así para “Levantando las manos”. Mucha energía en la interpretación y el acompañamiento. Un buen trabajo.
Ricardo Durán (editor de Rolling Stone en español)
Un experimento muy interesante.
Aura Radio
Original and unique vibe.
Rock Fueguino
Reinterpretación muy bien lograda, con teatralidad y ecos de los 70’s.
Toxicosmos
Ha sido un sorpresón escuchar esta versión: es realmente original y me ha encantado.
Claudio Merlet
Trabajo muy interesante: irónico y con un sentido del humor negro elegante. En términos musicales todo calza de forma perfecta, tanto el piano como la voz juegan de forma equilibrada… aunque la interpretación se roba la película. Me imagino muy interesante de ver la puesta en escena de este tema.
Plan Arteria
Versión particular y original, íntima y delicada de Levantando las manos. Un tema que nos recuerda a artistas coterráneos como Nacho Vegas por el fraseo y la profundidad de la voz.
Burru
Soy el principal defensor del riesgo y aquí sin duda hay un riesgo, al utilizar el formato cover para llevar una canción de verbena a la profundidad más absoluta.
Ricardo Arredondo
Interesante, y sobre todo, atrevido. Inicio potente. Una voz con mucha personalidad y estilo propio, lo que es muy importante y valorable. Hay talento, hay buenas ideas e intención de ser rupturista.
El Mostroso
Una gran canción con un concepto muy interesante, muy disfrutable. El sonido es de gran calidad y la producción perfecta.
Weed Vibez Radio
A lot of energy and attitude. Nice one.
Album Material
The sound of this gem is polished and the vibe is spot-on.
Adriana González Olivo
Me parece muy interesante la forma en la que Yo logra resignificar una canción tan conocida y “superficial” con un arreglo minimalista de piano y voz. Esa desnudez le da una fuerza inesperada y revela una verdad distinta detrás de lo que normalmente se percibe como música ligera. Es un experimento creativo que consigue llamar la atención y darle un nuevo valor a un tema que todos tenemos asociado con otro contexto. La interpretación transmite sinceridad y un toque irónico que encaja muy bien con la propuesta conceptual que plantea. Es refrescante escuchar cómo un cover puede convertirse en un comentario artístico y casi en un manifiesto musical.
eliezerboyer
"Levantando las manos" es súper abstracta y artística, disruptiva y diferente. Creo que hay mucho que descifrar en esta versión piano y voz.
Vibrasound Lists
Una propuesta íntima, con una interpretación cargada de sentimiento, donde la voz del autor, llena de matices, con ese estilo, esa energía y ese poder, es la que lleva todo el peso de la canción, transformando un tema bailable en algo mucho más íntimo y personal. Muchísimo potencial.
Rock Achorao’
“Levantando las manos” parece a primera vista un gesto inocente, una broma ligera, un cover mínimo al piano y voz. Pero en manos de David G. Borrero ese gesto se retuerce y gana una ironía cortante: tomar la llamada “canción del verano” y despojarla de todo su artificio para dejarla desnuda, frágil, incómodamente sincera. Lo que era coro colectivo en las playas se vuelve casi un rezo laico, un performance de vulnerabilidad. En esa aparente simplicidad late un sabotaje: desarmar lo banal hasta exponer lo que nunca debió estar ahí.
Borrero ya había tensado la cuerda con su poesía “contra la poesía”; ahora traslada ese pulso a la música y la convierte en un campo de batalla entre el artificio y la honestidad. Carmina Alegría se plantea como un territorio ambiguo y este track es su puerta torcida: pertenece y no pertenece, suena a epílogo pero también a clave de acceso. La advertencia de “no bailar” es, en realidad, una invitación a escuchar con incomodidad, a enfrentarse a la crudeza de una voz que dice más que toda una pista de baile saturada. En esa contradicción habita su poder.
Musiclink
Muy interesante versión. Nos gusta la originalidad con la que se ha replanteado la propuesta inicial. ¿Quién pensaría escucharla como una balada al piano? Muy innovador.
NoEsFm Radio
A song delivered with a theatrical, dramatic performance, where the vocal EQ comes across quite bright and metallic, almost to the point of distortion. The intention of giving the voice such strong presence and intimacy is clear and effective, though a more natural balance with added low end could have elevated it further. A short track, yet an expressive manifesto.
Laboratorio Indie by Jean Daniel’s
El ejercicio de vandalización que realiza es toda una pasada, me sorprendió y me resultó extremadamente interesante, dado que su color de voz es muy llamativo.
Huamangazo
Quizás debiera entenderse no como una canción comercial, sino como una pieza de arte.

Domink Friedrich
Very expressionate but also very creepy. It sounds really very dark.
Renforshort
The vocals are quite distinctive and really poured emotions to the song. The instrumentation captured its entire emotive mood as well.

I appreciated the moodiness and intimate, vulnerable dark feel, but at the same time struggled to fall in love with the proximity effect combined with the fx on the voice, highlighting all the S’s and clicks and such artifacts.
The Wild Is Calling
Yo has an interesting, emotionally textured timbre.

Desaparecer is a deeply moving and powerful song. I really appreciate how Yo channeled personal loss into something so expressive and poetic, and the music captures that tension between calm and storm in such an evocative way. It feels raw, honest, and filled with meaning, which makes it a beautiful tribute to Yo’s grandmother.
mp3hugger
Desaparecer had us in a state of wonder, the kind that doesn't have all that often these days. Yo appear to have found a place where the imagination can still be stirred. A near cinematic venture to proceedings that came out of those Ennio Morricone vocals.
Tompo Team
Yo’s creativity is clear. We’re impressed by the unique flair in Desaparecer.
Turn Down for Alt
Those moody vibes in the intro creates a nice aura… kind of dreamy! Really nice production with some good experimentation and cool rock vibes at the end.

A unique and unpredictable ethereal composition, with post-rock elements, space rock character, and beautiful, heavily reverbed arpeggios, characterized by a focus on exploring textures and timbres, as well as non-rock styles, with less emphasis on conventional song structures.

Such an exciting single! The rock track features stunning arrangements and a soundscape that is both oppressive and mesmerizing. The production quality is noteworthy.

Volver al aire carries a mysterious vibe, especially at the beginning, when the instrumental is more restrained, creating a more ethereal atmosphere.

The instrumental arrangements and added effects bring additional complexity to the track.

This song is lyrical, intense, and creates a magical, almost spiritual atmosphere. I really appreciated the sensitivity Yo brought and how the song carries genuine emotion.

It’s beautiful to see how art can transform difficult moments into something eternal.

Surrounding it are dreamlike tones, where synthesised strings manage to bring everything together; the entry of the guitar creates another beautiful movement to the whole piece.

DESPERTAD
Metal Mayhem
El inicio, con arpegios, capta la atención del oyente antes de que el track se adentre en un metal clásico y certero, que bebe algo de "The Unforgiven" de Metallica y del metal progresivo cuando ingresa la voz femenina. Hay aquí arreglos sinfónicos, influencias del metal sinfónico, variaciones de ritmo y un aire nostálgico que llega a través de la guitarra española.
