Listen / official release ↗A new chapter, eight tracks long
Girl Ultra has released RRRomeo through Big Dada. The label confirms an October 9 digital release, while Apple Music lists eight songs running 26 minutes. It is a compact invitation into the latest work from Mexico City singer-songwriter Mariana de Miguel.
In her accompanying Apple Music track notes, de Miguel describes an interest in the possibilities of 1980s pop. Her reference points reach beyond a single genre; the notes connect the project with artists including Cyndi Lauper and Siouxsie & The Banshees. The useful starting point is curiosity about those connections, rather than treating nostalgia as a genre of its own.

Follow the collaborators
The credits offer a second route in. Buscabulla appears on Mentirasmentiras, Jean Tonique joins Ramera, and Empress Of features on Tomás. Apple Music’s artist commentary gives each collaboration its own context, making it a useful companion to the record rather than a substitute for hearing it.
Our listening prompt: begin with Mentirasmentiras, then move to Tomás before returning to the opening track. What changes when a different voice or collaborator enters the frame? You do not need to settle that question on the first play. A short album leaves plenty of room for a second encounter.
