**Régulo Caro Unveils New EP “Carpe Diem”**
In the dynamic world of music, where trends come and go, Mexican singer-songwriter Régulo Caro Pérez has consistently stood out with his progressive style. Speaking candidly about his take on Mexican regional music and personal projects, Caro has just released his latest EP, “Carpe Diem,” available now on digital platforms.
Caro mentions that his songwriting, particularly his corridos which he prefers to call stories, greatly depends on his mood and has evolved over the years. “My perspective on corridos has changed. I approach them from a more mature and analytical angle now,” he explains. This new EP reflects this evolution, featuring more sophisticated lyrics and elements that some might find unexpected in traditional corridos.
The artist highlights how the Mexican regional genre has transformed, becoming comparable to pop music in its widespread appeal. While musicians once sought to cross over into urban genres to reach larger audiences, now the tables have turned, with pop and reggaeton artists exploring corridos.
In a world where musicians must also be influencers, Caro acknowledges the crucial role social media plays in promoting music today. An exciting development in his career is his collaboration with Schecter Guitars, launching the “Régulo Caro-7 Signature Acoustic” guitar, fulfilling a rock-influenced dream. To celebrate, he’s hosting a giveaway on TikTok, offering a chance for one follower to win the guitar.
“Carpe Diem,” with its tracks like “Flor$”, “El Animal,” and “La 40,” showcases Caro’s unique fusion of rock and regional Mexican sounds. Accompanying the EP’s release, the music video for “Carpe Diem” will debut on November 8, thematically inspired by Roman emperors with Caro donning a toga and laurel crown.
Speaking about his creative process, Caro shares, “I take my time with music to ensure it’s different each time. I’ve experimented and paid attention to details I hadn’t before.” This growth is evident in the latest EP, marking a departure from his previous works while maintaining his signature style.
The artist is currently on his tour “La Revancha Tour” and hopes to perform in Tijuana by 2025.
