For nearly 2 decades, Cristian Machado delivers has always delivered emotion and feeling in his work with Ill Niño. Having multiple usages of his voice, one minute he was able to deliver pure intensity with songs such as What Comes Around and then give us serenading tenderness with songs such as With You.

Now in 2020, taking the route of a solo singer/songwriter, Cristian is able to deliver everything we all know and love and express a different side of him. In his new single, Die Alone, he delivers a ballad that is tender, goosebump inducing and emotional. Most artists who come from the aggressive side of music normally like to deliver something catchy or intense to scratch the surface of the new album, but with this single, we get something slow, dark and with that emotion, delivers intensity like no other. This is a dark ballad that can induce tears and chills, and that is what makes it so beautiful. Its one thing to be a great singer, it’s another thing to be a great lyricist, but Cristian has always been able to deliver both. In a time of uncertainty and isolation, we have a song that has both the music and lyrics to identify to any lover of music.

Whether we listen to Ill Niño, his collaborations or his new work in Hollywood y Sycamore, you can bet you are in for an emotional and beautiful listen. We look forward to hearing more on how Cristian expresses himself.
