by Jill Riley and Nilufer Arsala

Hermanos Gutiérrez collaborated with their friend and recent tourmate, Leon Bridges, to release the new single, "Elegantly Wasted." The track is Hermanos Gutierrez's first new single and music video of 2025 — and their first song to ever feature English-language lyrics.
