Greetings, my dearest gentle readers and music lovers, let’s welcome Scottish artist ESTRADA MUSIC PROJECT back to our blog. Dr. Alejandro Estrada, a practicing NHS Urologist and multi-instrumentalist, creates expressive music that defies genres under the artist name ESTRADA MUSIC PROJECT. He is a returning artist who came to us with a song called “You Are Not Alone”, and “I Love When You See Through My Eyes” song that remains a soundtrack to my life, to this day. On 12th September, he released a single called “You need to go first. Let me walk you through the details of the song.

The song opens with a dial tone, followed by a dark synth sound. This intro is very captivating and will leave you begging for more.

Let’s talk about the subject matter of the song. It’s about young doctors and nurses who are frightened about performing a particular treatment. Despite the fact that they can always rely on the assistance of a senior doctor or nurse if necessary, they must try to save the person first. Health professionals should remember that they took an oath and should make sure that, no matter what, they have to try to help a patient because, in such situations, it is important to make snap decisions.

Like in this song, what if the doctor misses your call, or the network is bad and you can’t reach him or her? The risk is better than a gamble or a waiting period. It also tells us about the reason for this resistance to urgency by these health workers, which is because they are afraid, especially if it’s their first time. The song chastises them for being hesitant and encourages them to at least try to help.

The song features a wonderful vocal performance with added sounds like a dial tone, a voice saying that a number is out of reach. The artist performed with so much passion, and he put a piece of his soul into the song.

The song also had strong imagery to give listeners a clearer look at the theme of the song. Such imagery is the single’s cover art, which is a telephone. This telephone is a visual picture of the phone, like snippets in this song, like the dial tone. For listeners who prefer moving pictures, the song is accompanied by a slow-motion plasticine video based on the lyrics.

This artist makes music by telling real stories in and around the medical and health professions. No one makes music like that, and no one knows what patients and Doctors face in that facet of life, seeing as he is a health professional too. As a person who has struggled with health issues, I relate to his music a lot, and I connect with him because of the themes of his songs. This powerful new music is dedicated to young doctors and nurses who are fearful of performing medical operations for the first time.

The song is a call to action and a message of encouragement, addressing a typical hesitancy among young medical professionals. Its core message is that, while the support of a senior colleague is always there, the individual must first take the initiative. “You Need to Go First” promotes courage and self-reliance to instill confidence and resilience within the medical community. I love his music and can’t wait to hear more of it!
