Texas-based artist Jerry DeLeon & Southbound has unveiled their latest single, “Ella Es De Texas,” a bilingual love song available in both Spanish and Spanglish versions. Originally written as a tribute to Jerry’s wife, the track has evolved into a cross-cultural anthem celebrating the beauty, strength, and spirit of a true Texas woman.
Co-written by Gerardo DeLeon, Jr. and renowned songwriter Salvador Aponte, “Ella Es De Texas” paints a vivid portrait of a woman who is confident, family-oriented, and full of life — a proud Texan in every sense. The song captures the essence of Texas pride through heartfelt storytelling and a seamless blend of musical influences that reflect Jerry’s diverse heritage.
Blending the emotional resonance of mariachi with the soulful twang of country steel guitar and warm acoustic strings, Jerry introduces fans to a fresh “country-iachi” sound — a fusion that bridges cultures and genres. His sincere and soulful vocals shine through, delivering a performance that’s both intimate and universally relatable.
“Ella Es De Texas” stands as more than just a love song; it’s a musical love letter that celebrates bicultural identity and the power of genuine emotion. Through this release, Jerry DeLeon & Southbound showcase not only their versatility as musicians but also their dedication to creating music that connects across generations and cultures.
With goals of continuing to innovate and inspire, Jerry hopes to leave a lasting mark on the music world. His commitment to authenticity, quality, and cultural pride ensures that “Ella Es De Texas” will resonate with audiences far beyond the Lone Star State.
“Ella Es De Texas” by Jerry DeLeon & Southbound is now available on all major digital streaming platforms.
