Nick Pagan - Hardly Use My Hands / In a Cave 7"

On a quest to bring a certain prowess back into the Chicano soul and doo-wop of Southern California’s past, LA’s Latinx crooner Nick Pagan throws his heart in the ring, ready to make you feel the groove and heartache once again. Polishing off this sound and denoting it as “new-wop,” Pagan comes in with a certain charisma, and sometimes playful style. And, following his first career releases of last year, Pagan rides the sound with a new single, “Hardly Use My Hands.”



A based Latinx crooner, composer, psychonaut, and storyteller, Nick Pagan is a fast rising musician with an old soul. Pagan’s sound is what he describes as “new-wop,” encompassing lean songwriting, catchy hooks, colorful sonic palettes and classic sounds ripe to be sampled. From the opening hook of “Hardly Use My Hands,” his upcoming single, you get a sense that Pagan’s heart is rooted in the past with his fingers firmly on the pulse of the future. It’s no wonder that his debut singles have already caught the attention of KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic, KROQ, Remezcla, and Talkhouse. His latest single drops May 21, 2021 on Pagan’s Yellow Stucco House imprint in association with Mixto Records and will be followed by a music video directed by Humberto Howard (whose credits include GRAMMY-Award Winners La Santa Cecilia, Juanes
