EthanUno shares ‘phase 1,’ an upbeat new single blending Latin croon, hyperpop, and West Coast hip-hop.
San Diego-born EthanUno keeps the momentum going with his latest single, “phase 1,” out now via Friends Keep Secrets/Interscope. The track continues the DIY-minded artist’s blend of glitchy hyperpop, R&B, Latin influences, and lo-fi dance, all tied together with bilingual lyrics and a confident, party-starting energy.
The track’s opening lines immediately set the tone:
“No quiero dormir, I wanna stay up / Been a while since you had a night off, take one / And if the party ain’t a vibe we gone make one / It’s ’bout be a long night, we in phase one.”
Filmed at sunset, the music video keeps things simple yet stylish, featuring EthanUno dancing on a rooftop, wearing a Padres snapback and oversized shades, ready to kick off the night.
Following the success of his debut EP necesidad, which included standout tracks like “DQTC” and “las mañanas,” EthanUno continues carving out his own lane in music. His one-of-a-kind fusion of Latin pop and SoundCloud-era experimentation has earned him support from artists like Frank Ocean and Rosalía, as well as a devoted social media following eager for every new release.
