Chaz DeFranco “Torreón” (@ChazDeFranco)

Montreal R&B singer Chaz DeFranco has been very busy these past 4 months. With his last two singles (“Better Off / New Girl” & “Train Wreck”) fairing quite well on both Soundcloud and iTunes, the Canadian crooner officially kicked off a new music campaign titled #songsunday on July 12th that will have it’s eighth and final entry released on August 30th.

Which brings us to this week’s entry and fifth installment in the series and it’s by far his most personal release to date. The song is titled “Torreón” and what a back story it has. During his extensive travels to Mexico in his early twenties, Chaz developed a relationship with a woman by the name of Angela Del Río that ultimately ended on a sour note. Though some time has passed, the relationship has always weighed heavy on his heart.

After reconnecting with Angela via social media and telephone and finding out about her becoming a Miss Mexico finalist, DeFranco hit the studio with producer Penacho and long-time collaborator and friend Bobby John to create an audio track that revolves around that past relationship. It’s quite a powerful song to say the least, give it a listen.
