Artist: SEHORE Single: MADUREZ 2.0 Genre: Pop, Alt Rock Release Date: January 17th, 2025
Sehore’s “Madurez 2.0” feels like a quiet, confident introduction. There’s no pressure to grab your attention with volume or hooks—it’s a guitar-led track that gives space to the subtle, expressive side of playing. At its heart, the song is a tribute to the technique of jazz-fusion legend Stanley Jordan, and that influence is clear in how the guitar is allowed to speak, almost conversationally, through two-handed tapping and melodic phrasing.
It’s part of Ladencia, Sehore’s debut album released in 2025 and recorded at Paco Loco Studio. The project is new, but its direction is already distinct. Sehore blends familiar chord progressions with unexpected harmonies, leaning into dissonance without letting it overwhelm. The album plays with contrast—between polished and raw, sentimental and satirical, structure and chaos. That intention carries through “Madurez 2.0,” which feels like one of the more stripped-back, focused moments on the album.
There’s a clear appreciation for tone here. The guitar sound is warm and intimate, with just enough imperfection to feel lived-in. While the mix could be fuller, and some of the vocal layering doesn’t quite blend seamlessly with the guitar, there’s still a sincerity to the performance that carries it. The track unfolds like a sketch in motion—maybe not fully developed yet, but rich with potential. There’s a story told through the chord progression, even if it never explodes into something dramatic. And that restraint might be the point.
Elsewhere on Ladencia, Sehore leans more into experimentation. “Pesadilla,” which earned a Silver Medal at the 2025 Global Music Awards, dives into literary surrealism. “Tango” reworks a traditional genre into a protest song against gender violence. “Mariposa” reimagines calypso through a lens of transformation and LGBTQ+ advocacy. These are tracks with clear social and emotional weight, showing that Sehore isn’t afraid to explore difficult topics while remaining musically playful.
In that context, “Madurez 2.0” serves as a breather—a meditative moment that reflects the artist’s technical roots and a kind of personal homage. It may not push the same thematic weight as other songs on the album, but it contributes something just as important: an invitation into the artist’s hands-on relationship with their instrument.
Final Thoughts:
“Madurez 2.0” may be understated, but it’s not aimless. With its clean guitar work and sense of restraint, the song shows a project still growing into its full voice—and doing so with humility, clarity, and intention. A fuller arrangement and more polished production could elevate it further, but as it stands, this is an honest and thoughtful entry in a debut that already shows real range.
