JRH Receives Six New Spanish-Language Music Features
Sonido a la Carta and Danel Records have published six new features spanning “I’d Still Open the Door,” “If You Let Me,” “Brown Eyes & Tattoos” and “Don’t Look at Me Like That.” Together, the pieces hear a consistent thread in JRH’s writing: grown-up emotion, patience, attraction and the courage to tell the truth without rushing it.
I’d Still Open the Door
Sonido a la Carta describes the upcoming single as a contemplative confession about learning to live without someone while never fully losing the instinct to let that person back in. The feature centers the song’s tenderness and its refusal to pretend that time automatically erases devotion.
“Richard Hicks turns the heart’s devotion into melody: the bravest and most tender choice someone can make.”

If You Let Me
Both publications focus on the song’s patience. Sonido a la Carta calls it a refuge in melody; Danel Records hears an artist who offers support without pressure. Their readings meet at the same point: trust cannot be forced, and the song’s strength comes from respecting another person’s timing.
“Richard Hicks builds his art on patience and respect—and you can feel it in every note he sings.”
DANEL RECORDS · ENGLISH TRANSLATION FROM SPANISH
Brown Eyes & Tattoos
Danel Records hears immediate fascination in the details that make a stranger unforgettable. The review finds a song that does not over-explain attraction—it lets the look, the tattoos and the moment speak for themselves.
“Richard Hicks captures immediate attraction that needs no explanation in a song that stays with you from the first note.”
DANEL RECORDS · ENGLISH TRANSLATION FROM SPANISH
Don’t Look at Me Like That
Both outlets hear the song at the exact point where attraction becomes impossible to disguise. Sonido a la Carta emphasizes the electric instant when feeling outruns fear; Danel Records describes the same connection as a point of no return where the heart can no longer lie.
“JRH captures that electric moment when you can no longer hide what you feel.”
SONIDO A LA CARTA · ENGLISH TRANSLATION FROM SPANISH
Six features. One voice.
Across all six pieces, the strongest common thread is not genre—it is point of view. These writers hear songs that give emotional moments room to unfold: waiting without demanding, wanting without disguising it, and admitting that some doors remain open long after they should have closed.
