Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alejandro Aranda has released new EP Baroque, streaming here. The EP features previous singles “Glowing” and “Queen”, along with five additional tracks that speak to Aranda’s influences.

He shares:  

Baroque is a new batch of songs that blends the past and future. I wanted to put my inspirations into a couple songs that embody every element, from jazz to classical to pop to drum and bass. 

Audiences can catch these new songs live on the second leg of the Hondo World Tour, which kicked off earlier this month. On Leg 2, Aranda will bring the show to Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, and more.

Since competing on American Idol, Aranda has performed on stages around the world. He has also released several full-length records and EPs, including his most recent album, Farewell Superstar (2025).

Aranda also writes and performs with metal band Seven Hours After Violet, a supergroup featuring System Of A Down bassist Shavo Odadjian, Left To Suffer’s Taylor Barber, and Winds of Plague’s Michael “Morgoth” Montoya and Josh Johnson.
