A striking love song that comes straight from the heart.

adan diaz, a Mexican-American singer and guitarist from the Chicago area, found a deep passion for music during the pandemic, recording new material daily. Through this process, he gradually developed a unique musical vocabulary to express the mix of confusion, surprise, boredom, anger, and lovesickness he experienced during this unusual period in history. Some of his previous releases include tracks like “shake, shake,” “jsyk,” “jerk x2,” and “bad joke.” diaz’s most recent project is the seven-track EP ah-dawn, which concludes with the song “young picasso.”

With its captivating piano-driven backdrop, “young picasso” sets an intimate atmosphere that perfectly complements the song’s heartfelt and vulnerable romantic theme. Lyrics such as “If I could buy a palace, would you be my queen? You can move in, bring your family, I’ll treat you like royalty” and “If I was a young Picasso, and tried to paint you a million times, I wouldn’t have the heart to draw your flaws, I’ll never get you right” convey a touching message of deep love and admiration for the artist’s special someone. Driven by powerful, emotive vocals and a raw, introspective narrative, adan diaz delivers a poignant love song that speaks directly from the heart.

Hit play and let yourself feel the sincerity of “young picasso.”
