Background

[edit | edit source]

Forajido 2, a follow-up to Nodal's 2022 EP Forajido, was first announced in July 2022 by Nodal via his Instagram account, where he shared snippets of songs from the project.[3] Similar to his previous project, the EP consists of six songs, all produced by Nodal himself alongside his manager and frequent collaborator Jaime Gonzalez and Lucas Otero. Additionally, it features songwriting from Edgar Barrera and Elena Rose, who had previously worked in Forajido, and Mexican singer Joss Favela, who wrote the final track "Poquito a Poquito".[4] According to Nodal, the songs are "six different stories that talk about love, heartbreak, spite and illusion".[5] Namely, the opening track "Cazzualidades", is dedicated to Nodal's girlfriend, Argentine rapper Cazzu.[4]
