New Single!

HELP IS FROM YOU

 January.15,2021 Release

"Shanta Fuentes’s latest single entitled “Help is from you” is an uplifting and  happy song coupled with a music video that gives others hope in God for  the uncertainty we face in life. The song showcases faith based  lyricism a uniquely constructed piece of musical artistry. Her music  exhibits not only her versatility and prowess but will surely cement her  style as well as pave the way for the varied expressions of her musical  ideas and artistic craft as well as her diversified approach to music  in general. This is the music that will push the boundaries of our  perception as well as inspire and drive us to introspective  conversations. It’s the music that may not change the world, but can  change the people in the world".

music reviews

" -These songs are carried by her undeniably top notch vocal talent, and range from straight forward pop, to R&B, and flourishes of gospel, musically.

-There are two here that standout as reasons to be excited about future music from Fuentes. Those would be "Lenses" and "Love Like This," which were dropped in advance of the EP's release. "Lenses" specifically, stands out as the best song with a memorable R&B hook, as well as "Freedom" which features a guest rap from L. David, adding a dose of musical diversity. 

-Ultimately, this is a small taste of what I think will be much higher heights of music to come from Shanta Fuentes..."
