Regional Mexican music star Benji V drops new single “INRI,” written by Leonardo Javier Hermosillo Quezada, that stems from a contradiction deeply present in his way of seeing life: navigating between the streets and faith without feeling that one necessarily cancels out the other.
Faith plays an important role in “INRI.” Benji V openly acknowledges the different sides of his life while making it clear where God fits within it. The title draws from the initials traditionally associated with the inscription placed above Jesus’ cross. This reference takes on meaning within a song where spirituality exists alongside the reality of his own life.
“INRI” also explores the line between Benji V’s personal life and his identity as an artist. By referencing “beliqueada” and “artisteada,” he brings a distinctive expression of his own into the song—one that connects with his personality and the way he presents his music—while references to luxury and his current position round out the portrait he creates through the lyrics.
