A masterclass of soul-meets-stoner-rock featuring the E Street Horns
Swiss singer-songwriter Marcos Cabanas unveils his explosive new single “Life’s A Party (And I’m The Piñata)”, the second release from his forthcoming studio album, available everywhere now. Written and produced by Cabanas, the track is a gritty, soul-meets-stoner-rock fever dream.
Recorded between Europe and the United States throughout 2025, the single features the powerhouse brass section of the E Street Horns, whose unmistakable punch elevates the track’s swagger and cinematic energy. Cabanas is joined once again by his trusted collaborators Raph Dias (guitar), Mateo Erana (drums), and Pau Alvarez (Wurlitzer / Hammond B3), whose raw, live-band chemistry grounds the single’s explosive arrangement.
“Life’s A Party (And I’m The Piñata)” continues the rollout toward Cabanas’ upcoming album, set for announcement later this year, and is now available on all major streaming platforms.
