Born in Chile and based in Sweden, Cristian Saavedra is a producer, songwriter, DJ, radio host and label owner with decades of experience in the international music industry. Throughout his career, he has worked across numerous productions, artist projects and record labels, including Afronova, earning a reputation for his musical versatility and artistic vision. Beyond the studio, Cristian built a strong international following through his weekly radio shows, attracting millions of listeners over nearly eight years. The shows were broadcast across several European countries, including Italy, France and Switzerland, where he introduced audiences to new sounds and rising artists. While he stepped back from releasing music under his own name, Cristian never stopped creating. Over the past decade, he focused on producing and writing for other artists, while also dedicating time to his family and raising his children, stepping away from the constant touring lifestyle. Now, after ten years, Cristian returns with FELA, his first solo release in a decade and the beginning of a new creative chapter. FELA was born in an intimate and unexpected way at home, surrounded by his children dancing and singing. Inspired by the captivating voice of Maline Aura, Cristian found himself creating a song he never planned to make. Performing most of the instrumentation himself, including guitar and percussion, he initially explored richer arrangements with guitar solos and jazzy piano, before stripping everything back to its essence. The result is a warm, organic, and minimalist track centered around rhythm, voice, and an infectious bassline. FELA is more than just a comeback single; it marks the first step in a series of new releases that showcase Cristian's renewed artistic direction. Blending his Chilean roots, Scandinavian influences, and years of experience, he returns with music that feels authentic, timeless, and deeply personal. This is not simply the return of an artist it's the beginning of an exciting new era.

Hello Cristian Saavedra thank you for submitting this track. I enjoyed the deep vibe of the track and the overall production quality. IO especially liked the work on the drums and how they sit on the low end. O just feel the track is slightly too tribal for my playlist. I feel it especially because of the vocals in this case and because of the percussions after the breakdown. I also feel the track slightly too clubby end hypnotic while I normally look for more evolving melodic lines. Just my personal and curatorial taste here. I wish you all the best with this good tune. Simone

Hi you guys thank you for sharing some of your tunes my way. Nice bass line you have here running like a thread through the song providing some great drive. Unfortunately I do feel like the voice is a little less up my alley sadly but that might be me though. Besides that some creative elements for sure though! Kind regards , Jelle

Hey Cristian, thanks for sharing this with me. I really enjoyed the dreamy atmosphere and the organic percussion details throughout the track. The vocal elements blend nicely into the production too, giving the whole piece an immersive feel. For my house playlist, I’m looking for brighter, more dynamic instrumental tracks, with stronger melodic development. This one stays in a deeper, more atmospheric space, gets too repetitive, and puts more focus on the vocals, so it doesn’t quite match the direction I’m curating. Thanks again for sending it my way, and wishing you all the best with the release! Kind regards, Domas

Hey Christian, thanks for sending! Lovely tune here. Nice sound selection and mixing of elements!! The idea is pretty solid. The vocal has a good prcessing too! Regarding the production the track has quality , however I feell it is a bit too linear throug out all the track! So I have not been fully convinced. Hope you can understand and best of luck with promo!

Hi, there’s an appealing style in the beat, and I think the vocals bring a strong concept into the track. The voice clearly has a leading role, which gives the song personality and helps the overall idea feel defined from early on. The main issue for me is that the vocals and instrumental don’t always reinforce each other enough. In some sections, they can feel slightly masked by one another, so neither element gets the full impact it could have. The final chorus actually works much better in that sense, because the interaction feels more intentional and both sides seem to share the space more naturally. I’d like to use that last chorus as a reference for the rest of the arrangement. Giving the vocals more room in key moments, reducing certain instrumental layers when the voice needs to lead, and allowing the beat to respond more clearly to the vocal phrasing could create a stronger sense of dialogue between both elements. That would help the track feel more cohesive without losing the energy it already has. I’ll leave it out of the playlist this time because I wanted to hear that stronger synergy appear more consistently throughout the song, not only near the end. The direction is interesting, though, and I hope this note helps you keep refining the interaction between the vocals and production. Wishing you a great release and all the best with what comes next.
