“The Tik Tok Girl”: Merca Xin Corte’s new romantic corrido

Santo Domingo. – Merca Xin Corte, a talented composer from Sinaloa who is setting new trends in regional Mexican music, presents his new single, called “La Morrita del TikTok”, where he fuses the best of the corrido tumbado with the northern ballad, creating an ideal anthem to dedicate to that social media crush that we all have. In that sense, it is worth highlighting the delicate balance of fusions achieved by Merca Xin Corte, because while the music manages to amalgamate melodic sweetness with rhythmic fierceness, the lyrics are a portrait of contemporary youth language, but which connects with that romanticism of yesteryear, full of confessional intimacy.

On the other hand, the official video of “La Morrita del TikTok” allows us to peek into the creative process of this song, as throughout the images we see Merca Xin Corte himself in the recording studio producing the track. At the same time, the TikTok girl appears both on his networks and as a ghostly presence for Merca, in order to make her look like the muse who lives in the mind of our protagonist.
