“OVERCOMING HEARTBREAK AND TRUSTING THE HEALING PROCESS IS A MESSAGE I WANT TO GIVE THROUGH MY MUSIC. IT’S EASY TO LOSE SIGHT OF YOURSELF WHEN YOU’RE HEARTBROKEN.”

Eric, you have influenced people through film, fashion, and this emotionally charged music project. How do you hope “Tú Eliges (Choose)” will connect with listeners looking for solace and strength during heartbreak?

That is really kind of you to say. Thank you! Heartbreak often comes with painful lessons, but it also provides an opportunity for growth. I hope that our music empowers people. I hope that we remind people that they are more than their heartbreak. Hopefully Tú Eliges (Choose)” will help them rebuild their sense of identity outside of the pain.

Kedward, your career spans music and theater, and “Tú Eliges (Choose)” speaks to the emotional journey of recovery and self-discovery. How do you connect with the themes of heartbreak in this song, and how does it reflect your growth journey?

Going through heartbreak is a deeply transformative experience, and for me, singing and writing about it is a way to heal. I connect with this song because it resonates with the emotions I've felt during my own struggles—it captures that raw, vulnerable place I've been in.

Samuel, in a world where digital music dominates, your decision to release limited-edition physical formats for this song is a rarity. How does this choice reflect your commitment to creating something meaningful for your fans that goes beyond just the music?

I grew up in the peak age of CDs. I remember being so excited to go to the store to look at album artwork. I couldn’t wait to open up the booklet and look at all the additional pictures and credits. As a kid who wanted to be an artist, I would study how cd’s were designed knowing one day I would have my own CD. Physical formats help create a universe for the music. I think it makes the art so much more meaningful and personal. That’s the kind of art I want to put out. 

The legendary Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis wrote this single. How did their influence shape the emotional depth of the song, especially in its reflection on heartache and the power of choosing to move forward?

Samuel: Everything Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis create is timeless. Being able to sing a song they wrote is the biggest honor. They produced some of my favorite artists such as Janet Jackson and Mint Condition. Both of which I listen to when I need a good vibe. The emotional depth they bring to music is so innate that it can do nothing else but bring good inspiration. 

Eric: Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, along with Color Me Badd are incredible, they wrote such a timeless song. They’ve been some of my biggest inspirations throughout my own musical journey. The way they craft melodies, lyrics, and produce hits that stand the test of time is unmatched. I'm in awe of their ability to connect with listeners on such a deep level, and I’m so grateful for the impact they’ve had on the music industry and on me personally. Bryan Abrams, Mark Calderon, Sam Watters and Kevin Thornton are some of the best male vocalists of the 90s and deserve all the credit. We are deeply inspired by them. 

This song touches on the universal experience of heartbreak and the courage to heal. What advice would you give to those listening to “Tú Eliges (Choose)” who are struggling with loss, reminding them that they have the power to choose their path toward healing?

Samuel: My advice would be to be kind to yourself and keep pushing forward no matter how hard it feels. Don’t meditate on the hurt and mess. Remember that your mind is worth renewing and that you are special. It is up to you to determine how you think and what you believe.
