The Canary Islands are witnessing a surge of budding talent. Enrique Ive, who is part British and part Canarian, has launched the inaugural EP of his career, titled Pileus. In contrast to an album, which typically comprises six or more tracks with a duration exceeding thirty minutes, EPs condense both the number of songs and their overall length. For an artist like Enrique Ive, the journey of releasing Pileus alongside producer Pablo Queu has been nothing short of extraordinary: “I find it hard to express myself because, honestly, it’s a compilation of so many uplifting and constructive experiences that I struggle to find the right words. Pablo engages on every level, not only from a technical and theoretical perspective but also emotionally. He truly cares about what the song signifies, its lyrics and deeper meaning.”
