MÚSIC
SAMSARA
Aciz presents her debut EP, Samsara, where her distinctive soul- and classic R&B-infused voice blends fearlessly with contemporary elements.
Her style, also drawing on reggae and hip hop, embraces melodic elegance and rhythmic force. In this work, she brings us five songs that celebrate the human and the earthly through a powerful female perspective.
The singer-songwriter does not ride alone. Canarian percussionist and producer Rayco Gil forms part of the project’s core. Their shared background in various soul, gospel and reggae ensembles provides the foundation for their distinctive sound.
The project is the result of a collaboration between this creative tandem and Golden Hen studio, formerly Tucxone Records, known for releases by leading figures in European soul such as JP Bimeni and Shirley Davis.
Analogue production and 8-track recording are combined with samples and vocal loops, creating a result that brings the very best of classic sound into a contemporary vision of both the compositions and the live performance.
SINGLES
Me Encanta
“Me Encanta” is Aciz’s new single. With this carefully crafted production and its message of self-love and self-care, the project makes its mark on the Spanish R&B and soul scene.
Aciz’s distinctive voice wraps around words that speak to the listener’s self-worth, radiating positivity with a clear message: it is always better to be alone than in bad company.
LET YOU GO
“Let You Go” is a soul track with a classic flavour and a contemporary spirit.
Its evocative intro hints at its old-school production style, before giving way to Aciz’s clear, smooth voice, singing almost directly into the listener’s ear a powerful statement: however deeply we may love, people are not objects to be possessed. An energetic track with a healthy, positive message about love.

Other Singles and Collaborations
PHOENIX
The project’s first single, “Phoenix”, is an anthem to resilience and rising from one’s own ashes.
With a highly distinctive style that fuses reggae, R&B and neo-soul, the song caught the attention of the Spanish urban music scene, establishing Aciz as one of the leading emerging talents in reggae and soul in Spain.
ANOTHER CHANCE
“Another Chance” continues the message of its predecessor. The band’s second single also stands out with a more contemporary style. Its production carries a strong electronic influence, while still blending it with a more traditional essence and sound.
The result is a fresh, upbeat song that transports the listener to sunset on a magical beach.
NO FEAR
Following the release of her first singles, producer Makka Dubba invited the singer to collaborate on one of his releases.
Together, they created “No Fear”, a single about beautiful love, captured with the powerful force of the heaviest dub sounds.
AGUA
Following the passing of Pau Donés, the members of Aciz came together with Iván Torres (Efecto Pasillo) and Althay Páez to pay tribute to him.
Their heartfelt version of “Agua” received wide recognition from the Canarian press upon its release and contributes to the legacy of one of Spain’s great songwriters.
