MAU Y RICKY JOIN FORCES WITH DANNY OCEAN AND YORGHAKI ON THE TRACK "SAMANÁ"
Miami, FL (August 14, 2025) — In a bold twist to their creative strategy, Mau y Ricky unveil “desmaquillada,” a surprise release that doubles as the latest clue in the puzzle fans are piecing together ahead of their highly anticipated EP ‘LA LLAVE.’
So far, ‘LA LLAVE’ features songs like “libélulas” (produced by Malay, who also worked on Mau y Ricky’s Latin GRAMMY®-nominated album Hotel Caracas), “noche de luna” with LAGOS, “samaná” with Danny Ocean and Yorghaki, and “voltaje” with Boza. Now joining the lineup is “desmaquillada”, produced by Yorghaki alongside JonTheProducer, Palace and Manuel Lara — continuing the fresh, seductive sonic palette that defines this new era.
An ode to authentic beauty and unfiltered attraction, “desmaquillada” blends sensual rhythms with a sense of intimate connection. Its lyrics celebrate those moments when two people connect without masks — even “just out of bed” — reminding listeners that real always beats perfect.
“We wanted this song to feel like an intimate wink, like a shared secret between us and the listener,” say Mau y Ricky. “The EP holds a wide range of emotions, but ‘desmaquillada’ captures that instant when love and desire need no filters.”
The track arrives with a visually striking music video directed by Stillz and produced by creative powerhouse WEOWNTHECITY. The film marries the song’s sensuality with cinematic visuals, reflecting the natural, unfiltered intimacy that Mau y Ricky set out to convey.
This release continues the duo’s ongoing game of clues and riddles, available on their official website, where fans are invited to guess the remaining song titles and collaborations.
