“POINT OF VIEW” by Meco Velez

Emerging from Puerto Rico with poise and power, Meco Velez unveils Point of View—a striking six-track debut EP that casts a vivid, unflinching gaze upon desire, heartbreak, and feminine agency. It’s a work of precision and passion, where every beat pulses with intent and every lyric emerges from a place of conviction. Velez does not simply perform—she commands, weaving her story through a rich tapestry of seductive pop, atmospheric R&B, and bold sonic choices. From its very first breath, the EP asserts its voice. “All That” opens the project with unshakable confidence, a declaration of control and clarity. Here, Velez inverts the usual narrative of romantic pursuit, stepping out not as a passive muse but as a powerful force reclaiming the game. Her delivery is both smooth and sharp, the production built to highlight her confidence as much as her control. “Pulse,” the lead single, follows with a shift in tempo but not in intensity.

A hypnotic blend of sensuality and restraint, it pulses—true to its name—with slow-burning desire. The production hums beneath her vocals like a held breath, creating a soundscape thick with tension. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t ask for attention—it draws it, effortlessly. “Thief In The Night” arrives next with emotional depth and tonal contrast. A collaboration with Big Baby Gucci, the song navigates the complexities of betrayal with elegance and bite. While Velez sings of stolen affection, Gucci’s verse mirrors the damage from the other side. The result is a beautifully constructed emotional duality—a dialogue in song between longing and regret. In “Addicted,” Velez leans into vulnerability with grace. The ache of wanting something just out of reach—something that dances the line between friendship and something more—is palpable.

Her voice, equal parts satin and steel, moves through the track like a confession half-whispered and wholly felt. Then comes “Forbidden Fruit,” where temptation blooms into a darker beauty. There is tension here, but also acceptance—a refusal to deny desire even when the path is not clear. The production coils around her voice like smoke, delicate yet dangerous. The final offering, “Fantasy,” lifts the veil. A shimmering piece of disco-pop escapism, it closes the EP not with resolution, but with release. It is starlit, spellbound, and full of breath—a dreamscape carved from rhythm and reverie. With Point of View, Meco Velez presents a body of work that is fearless in tone, intimate in detail, and undeniably her own. This is not just a debut—it is a statement, artfully delivered from a perspective rarely given this much room to shine.
