Everything You Wanted to Know About ‘Tonta’ Singer-Songwriter Nathy Peluso
Argentine-born, Spain-based singer-songwriter and rapper Nathy Peluso has one of the biggest, boldest sounds in the industry at the moment, and there's much more from her to come in 2023.
Last month, she dropped the vibey retro-pop single "Tonta," an anthem that feels powerful and relatable—even if you don't speak a lick of Spanish. It's a creative exploration of learning from your mistakes, understanding that you'll make more and continuing on while better understanding yourself, and it's precisely what many of us need to hear. "Tonta" is just a taste of the album she's preparing for all of us, but until then, here's everything she shared with us about what makes her tick as our Woman Crush Wednesday.
