FLVCKKA on Bringing Corrido Storytelling Into the Hyperpop Age
FLVCKKA has built her music around the freedom to move between genres without treating any of them as boundaries. In fact, the Chihuahua-born singer and songwriter masterfully draws from hyperpop, trap, funk, regional Mexican music, and malianteo, combining their textures in ways that feel restless, emotional, and entirely connected to her perspective. And her forthcoming album, Hypercorridos Vol. 1, extends that approach by placing the storytelling traditions of corridos inside a bright, digitally charged pop world.
The latest preview, “Si No Contestas,” follows the uneasy spiral of waiting for someone who refuses to answer. Beneath its playful, high-energy production is a story about teenage love becoming consuming, with every unanswered message feeding another wave of doubt and obsession. The contrast gives the song its tension: the music feels made for movement, while the lyrics remain caught in emotional limbo.
Fellow Chihuahua artist Marcos Villalobos joins FLVCKKA on the track, bringing his own vocal character into a setting far removed from the sounds listeners may usually associate with him. Their collaboration also reflects the larger idea behind Hypercorridos Vol. 1, where regional Mexican traditions and hyperpop excess are allowed to collide, overlap, and create something new together.
That willingness to experiment has carried through FLVCKKA’s recent releases. “MADRUGADA,” her collaboration with Chino Pacas, brought him into hyperpop for the first time and quickly reached millions of viewers on YouTube. There’s also “Amor Bandido V3,” created with Jan Glack, which draws from Julio Jaramillo’s “Nuestro Juramento,” carrying the weight of the original bolero into a production shaped by trap and regional Mexican influences. Meanwhile, “Money in the Bank” with HillKidd has continued to spread through TikTok and streaming platforms.
Now based between Guadalajara and Mexico City, FLVCKKA reaches more than three million monthly Spotify listeners and continues to make room for women within Mexico’s urban music scene. And with Hypercorridos Vol. 1, she is building a body of work that treats tradition as something alive—capable of changing shape, crossing genres, and speaking directly to the present.
“Si No Contestas” centers on the intensity of waiting for someone who may never respond. How did the idea for the song first begin to take shape?
FLVCKKA: It actually happened in the studio when we listened to the music; when I talk about “hypercorridos,” the lyrics tend to be similar—there’s a lot of toxicity and madness.
The lyrics explore an intense, unhealthy teenage romance, while the production feels bright, playful, and energetic. What interested you about placing those darker emotions inside such a colorful sound?
FLVCKKA: I really wanted it to look like a teen movie in terms of colors and settings, while still adding elements that characterize the type of lyrics I write.
Marcos Villalobos gives the collaboration a distinct flair. What did his voice bring to the song that you could not have achieved alone?
FLVCKKA: Hearing a male voice—especially one that belongs to a different sound or genre—works incredibly well and really rounds out the concept.
Hypercorridos Vol. 1 combines corrido storytelling with hyperpop and other contemporary influences. Was there a moment when you realized that all of those worlds needed to belong together within the same project?
FLVCKKA: A long time ago, I realized that all the genres I listened to shared similarities in their lyrics; even though they were different, it all stemmed from the streets and the social context—some with cowboy boots, others with sneakers. So, I started channeling all those influences into the beats and different sounds I liked. That’s how this was created; it’s truly a cultural movement.
Your recent releases bring familiar musical traditions into bold, unexpected territory. “MADRUGADA” introduced Chino Pacas to hyperpop, while “Amor Bandido V3” reimagines Julio Jaramillo’s “Nuestro Juramento” through your own sound. How do you balance honoring the roots of those influences with pushing them somewhere new?
FLVCKKA: Drawing inspiration from songs and other artists has always been a key part of my project. I love taking existing samples or lyrics and incorporating them into something new—music is about unity and inspiration!
Your recent releases have helped expand your audience significantly. What has been most exciting about this period of growth?
FLVCKKA: Definitely “Madrugada”; Chino has a huge fanbase and wide reach.
Creating more space for women in urban music is an important part of your mission. Where have you seen meaningful progress, and which barriers still feel especially present?
FLVCKKA: Women will always have a unique relationship with the industry in general; simply because we are women, we are placed in a different position—we’re sidelined, expected to fill a specific role, and burdened with a thousand prejudices. When they see us acting the way a "man" would, they just can't wrap their heads around it. Now, we say what we want and act how we want, and it won't be long before women take the reins of the industry.
