Next to “Pumped-Up Kicks,” the catchiest song this summer has got to be “Different” by Ximena Sarinana.
Fluent in both Spanish and English, the Mexican-born 25-year-old grew up as a child star in her native country and was nominated for Latin Grammys in 2008.
On her English-language debut, Sarinana enlists Greg Kurstin of The Bird and the Bee and Baltimore native, and TV on the Radio multi-instrumentalist Dave Sitek to produce.
Check out Galler’s interview with Ximena and hear live tracks below:
