Standing at the crest of his creative expression, Rafael Montecruz isn’t another name in the brimming sea of talents—he is the only name that commands respect with the grand authenticity, heartfelt storytelling, and vocal prowess that he brings to the table. Genres and styles are secondary; the music and the profound stories come first— whichever form he decides to release them in, only he decides. For long, he has been singing and songwriting in his native Spanish dialect, but ever since meeting up with Abraham Armell sometime around late 2023, he has delved more into English storytelling, extending his appeal to a massive band of English music fanatics. With over 35K Spotify monthly listeners and tracks that boost impressive stream numbers, collectively transcending way above half a million streams, it is safe to say that his gospel has been well received and accepted for that matter.
“We’d Be” is more than just a song; this is a personal, soul-bearing, and heartfelt ode to Montecruz’s two-year-old daughter, who he loves more than anything in the world and who inspired this song.
It is as much a vulnerable release as it is a confession of profound love and the inestimable pride being the beautiful, innocent, young girl’s father brings along with it. The delivery sparks like a heart-to-heart conversation to the daughter, the guitar strings laying the perfectly smooth, gentle, and equally emotive backdrop for his soulful, rich, velvety, and from-the-heart-and-soul vocals.
“We’d Be” power and captivation rests on those powerful, honest, and earnest words spoken from a loving and caring father’s heart as he expresses his only wish, which is to be by the side of their daughter, love and protect them, see and explore the world together, and cherish every moment together.
There is an inescapable duality to this jam, and truly, if you look at it, a giant testament to the versatility Montecruz brings to the table—the stylistic caliber of something rock-country accentuates the weight of this spoken reality as the guitar showmanship fills the space with some gently smooth rock energy.
“We’d Be” is most certainly the power of music to speak from the soul and heart where words fail. This powerful song is guaranteed to resonate with all the loving parents out there; it is as if Montecruz is saying their words for them, and that right there encapsulates the grand impact the music exudes.
Already garnering some impressive numbers in a short period of time since its release, “We’d Be” is an easy recommendation to anyone out there who is looking for the words to whisper to their beautiful babies, or anyone generally, who is moved by incredibly powerful, heartfelt, and vulnerable music.
