Leo y Temptacion Reimagine ‘Dímelo’ as a Duet

Leo y Temptacion are putting a fresh spin on a song that has long been a favorite of frontman Leo Alvarado.

The band’s new single, “Dímelo,” is a reimagined version of the hit song originally recorded by Siggno, transforming the familiar Tejano favorite into a male-female duet featuring Alvarado and the group’s newest vocalist, Jennifer Lynn.

For Alvarado, the idea had been developing for nearly a year.

“I’ve always liked that song. I’ve always sang that song,” Alvarado explained to Tejano Nation. “In my head, I’ve always sang it. I’ve never sang it with the band.”

Eventually, Alvarado began experimenting with the song alongside the members of Leo y Temptacion, trying different musical approaches until they found a style that felt right.

“You know what? Let’s do it a duet,” Alvarado recalled deciding.

That decision opened the door for Jennifer Lynn to become an important part of the recording.

Alvarado had previously worked with other female vocalists in the band, but he says Jennifer Lynn immediately stood out when she joined the group.

“And then our new star that showed up. She blew our minds with her voice,” Alvarado said. “I was like, wow, this would be perfect.”

Finding the Right Voice for “Dímelo”

Jennifer Lynn said she initially didn’t recognize the song when Alvarado presented his new arrangement.

“When you showed it to me, I was like, yeah,” Jennifer Lynn recalled to Tejano Nation. “And then you started singing it the original way that it went. And I was like, oh, okay.”

The new arrangement changed the way she heard the song, allowing Leo y Temptacion to put their own identity on the material while retaining the essence of the original.

Once the musical track was completed, Alvarado recorded his vocals. About a month to a month and a half later, Jennifer Lynn entered the studio to record her part.

The contrast in their recording experiences became another memorable part of the process.

“For me to do a song, it takes me, I don’t know, 100 takes,” Alvarado joked. “It took Jennifer two or three times.”

The recording was produced by Chris Salinas, who worked with the band on the track. When the finished vocal parts were played together, Alvarado and Jennifer Lynn immediately heard the chemistry.

“He starts playing and me and Jennifer stay looking at each other like, ‘Oh, cabrón, that sounds good,’” Alvarado recalled.

Jennifer Lynn had a similar reaction to the finished recording.

A Vocal Partnership

The new “Dímelo” is also a showcase for the vocal chemistry that has developed between Alvarado and Jennifer Lynn since she joined Leo y Temptacion.

Alvarado says Jennifer Lynn’s ability to provide harmonies has changed the way he sounds onstage.

“Ever since she came to the band, I’m going to be honest with you. She’s made me sound better because she’s got that second voice,” he said.

Alvarado admitted that harmony isn’t his strongest area, making Jennifer Lynn’s vocal contributions particularly valuable.

“I don’t do harmony,” he said. “And it just, it makes me sound way better.”

Jennifer Lynn agreed that the two have developed a natural musical connection.

“Hey, we work well together. That’s what it is. I got you back,” she said.

For Alvarado, that chemistry is one of the elements that makes the new recording special.

“Our voices mesh really, really nice,” he said. “It’s real pretty. The voices together, they mesh.”

He also said listeners have compared the vocal approach to the male-female style associated with artists such as Jesse Turner and Elida Reyna on their duet “Juntos Hasta Morir.”

Jennifer Lynn Brings a Lifetime of Musical Experience

While Jennifer Lynn may be a newer face in the Leo y Temptacion lineup, music is hardly new to her.

She has played saxophone since she was eight years old and comes from a musical family. Her father, Raymond Narro, is a Tejano ROOTS Hall of Fame musician and multi-instrumentalist who has been involved in the music community and has worked with other musicians and bands.

Jennifer Lynn said she spent much of her childhood around studios and musicians, learning from her father and absorbing music from an early age.

“My dad, Raymond Narro, who is a Tejano legend, he was also inducted,” Jennifer Lynn said. “So I learned a lot of my instruments, singing, vocals, harmonies, things of that sort from him.”

Her musical background also includes years of singing in church, particularly praise and worship.

Jennifer Lynn initially preferred to stay behind the scenes, with the saxophone serving as her comfort zone. That changed when her sister, who had a band, became ill and Jennifer Lynn was asked to step in.

“I wasn’t one that wanted to sing or wanted to be recognized,” Jennifer Lynn said. “I just liked to play. That saxophone was my comfort zone.”

Eventually, her sister encouraged her to sing more, leading Jennifer Lynn toward recording her own music.

She says she has been releasing singles for approximately two and a half years and hopes to complete her own album by the end of 2026.

From Saxophone to the Leo y Temptacion Stage

Lynn’s addition to Leo y Temptacion came through a connection with the band’s musicians.

She was contacted about joining the group to provide female vocals and harmonies. The first meeting quickly demonstrated that the musicians’ personalities and musical styles clicked.

“We were there, we were joking around and laughing,” Jennifer Lynn recalled. “And then once the music came together, it came together.”

Her first performance with the group came in February during a last-minute out-of-town engagement.

Since then, she has become an important part of the band’s live sound, providing backing vocals and harmonies while also bringing her saxophone skills to the stage.

That versatility is now making its way into the live version of “Dímelo.”

The band plans to perform the song live, with Jennifer Lynn adding saxophone to the arrangement.

Alvarado said the saxophone appears at the beginning of the live performance, before Lynn transitions back into her vocal role.

“We threw in the sax and it sounded so nice,” he said. “Just a little part because I needed her to be singing. So in the very beginning, she’s doing that sax and man, oh man, it sounds good.”

A Song They Hope Connects With Listeners

For Alvarado and Jennifer Lynn, “Dímelo” represents more than simply recording a familiar song. It’s an opportunity to introduce listeners to the musical chemistry that has developed within the band’s current lineup.

Alvarado said he has repeatedly listened to the recording since Chris Salinas sent him an early sample.

“I think I must’ve heard it a thousand times,” he said.

Jennifer Lynn joked that she may have listened to it even more.

“I’m going to ask you how many times,” she said. “Probably a thousand.”

The band now hopes that listeners will connect with their interpretation of “Dímelo” and that the recording will find its way onto playlists and music charts.

“I’m hoping the song does something,” Alvarado said. “Get on lists or whatever.”

For a song that began as an idea in Alvarado’s head and evolved through multiple arrangements before becoming a duet, “Dímelo” has ultimately become a showcase for what happens when two complementary voices find the right musical space together.

And for Leo y Temptacion, the reimagined Siggno hit marks another chapter in the band’s evolving sound—with Leo Alvarado leading the way and Jennifer Lynn adding a new voice, harmony and musical dimension to the group.
