Cohetes Unleashes New Single 'Cuestión de Tiempo'

Cohetes’ new single “Cuestión de Tiempo” is the sound of a late-night confession booth, delivered through glossy synth-pop that carries equal parts nostalgia and emotional grit.

Colombian artist Juan Pablo pushes his project into its rawest space yet, leaning into a vulnerable register that feels both universal and distinctly personal.

There’s a retro shimmer running through the track—something pulled from the late ’80s and ’90s playbook—but Cohetes uses it with intention. Rather than leaning on nostalgia for novelty, he turns it into emotional architecture. The synths have presence without pomp, the beat is understated but insistent, and everything is wrapped in a soft cinematic haze.

NME loves a good lyrical mystery, and “Laura” fits the bill. Instead of being a person, she’s a metaphor—a moment of clarity dressed as a name. It’s clever writing, and Cohetes plays it cool, never spelling things out too neatly. The ambiguity gives the track its lingering power, the kind that keeps listeners replaying to decode their own meanings.

Vocally, Juan Pablo delivers with emotional precision. He doesn’t belt; he lets the words hover, tremble, and settle. It’s this restraint that makes the song feel genuinely intimate, like he’s allowing listeners to overhear a journal entry rather than a performance. The production supports him gracefully, refusing to overshadow the message.

“Cuestión de Tiempo” proves Cohetes has more than sound design and nostalgia in his arsenal—he’s crafting emotionally literate pop designed to grow with its listeners. It’s a gentle triumph, and his most affecting track yet.
