Maria Usbeck Announces New EP Canciones De Amor: Hear “Luz”

3:01 PM EDT on August 7, 2026

Last year, The Ecuadorian-born, Brooklyn-based dream-pop artist Maria Usbeck returned from a long absence with Naturaleza, her first new album in six years. Yesterday, she announced plans to follow that record with Canciones De Amor, a new EP that she recorded with a team of musicians that includes Wild Nothing's Jack Tatum. Opening track "Luz" is a lovely, sparking number that combines mellow, floaty jazz tones with lush, expensive-sounding synthpop. Check it out below.

TRACKLIST:
01 "Luz"
02 "Chirimoya"
03 "Lágrimas Lágrimas "
04 "Crushin’"
05 "Always Raining"

The Canciones De Amor EP is out 9/18 on Cascine.
