Laru's latest release, "Contra El Río" is a powerful testament to perseverance and bravery, and to not succumbing to life's burdens. The Spanish lyrics are about always fighting against the current, that is what makes you fight. The emotional anchor of the song is the line "Now I know I can fight the river," which expresses a new belief in one's ability to survive. And there is a real sense of release in learning to let go, in making space for dreams. Laru transforms hardship into a feel-good song, a mixture of fragility and resolve, and a refusal to be led by trouble.
