Neton Vega’s profile rose amid his 2024 collaborations with some of música mexicana’s leading lights. His work with Peso Pluma and Tito Double P, as well as joint singles with Luis R Conriquez, positioned him well with their respective fanbases. Yet the Baja California Sur artist’s solo EP Jalense la Greña notably doesn’t rely on reciprocal features, or for that matter any guests at all, centering his voice throughout. The decision to go it alone on these six tracks suits him well, helping to better establish him as both singer and songwriter on the intricately narrated corrido “El Gerry” and the more compact closer “El Erick.” He loses himself in the best possible way on the romantic ode “Todo a Su Tiempo,” its epic emotions assuredly relatable to anyone deeply in love. That makes “Quisiera Detener el Tiempo” all the more devastating by contrast, its sorrow-filled subject matter wrapped in an impossible plea to return to and reside within a moment in time.
