Leiva keeps his theme broad and his inclination specific as he reflects on feelings of romance and charm. His fourth album Nuclear is a potent album that signals Leiva as rock’s most lovable personality. It features 12 tracks that are meticulously compiled by the mood-altering Spanish talent.
These songs of affirmation feel lighter, freer, and more fun, carried effortlessly by Leiva’s undeniable voice. It’s the centerpiece of the album; rich and rewarding as he writes with a surprisingly, unmistakable command of Spanish warble. The Latin Grammy nominee artist is a bit adventurous and doesn’t shy away from forming legitimate hooks, as he sometimes stretches his words beyond recognition.
His fourth album Nuclear, purely deals with affairs of the heart. Whether you where it on your sleeve or it’s been broken, or can’t count the number of times people have disappointed you, deep down you still know you’re passionate and empathetic and you still know that your heart will pave the way for you to do great things.
Leiva makes it clear, that it’s all about having the courage to follow your heart. We’ve all been there. Stuck in the middle of our decision-making mode. Our heart tells us one thing, while our mind tries to keep us safe. Two totally different directions. One feels right, while the other is the most logical option. But in bringing your heart to life you awaken a fire within that has more force than all of the willpower you could ever muster.
Nuclear continues to be one of the best works for Leiva, both in the sense of being adrift in time and taking a meticulous approach to production. He owns his expressive voice, as the arrangements flicker with intricate melodic detail. It doesn’t take a lot of time for one to be fully immersed in the mystique attention and feel rewarded with an irresistible gift.
