Netflix Releases “Selena: The Series” Trailer, Announces December Release Date

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought filming for many upcoming movies and shows to a standstill— thankfully, Selena: The Series is among the few productions to make a swift recovery. 

In a stroke of good fortune for fans of the late singing icon, Netflix has revealed that Part One of the two-part series Selena: The Series will be available for streaming on December 4, 2020. The Walking Dead actress Christian Serratos will portray Selena Quintanilla in the show, alongside fellow actors Seidy Lopez as Selena’s mother, Marcella Quintanilla, Gabriel Cavarria as her brother, A.B, Neomi Gonzalez as her sister, Suzette, and Madison Taylor Baez as young Selena.

Known as the “Queen of Tejano Music”, Selena was and still is widely celebrated and regarded as one of the brightest stars in entertainment of the late 20th century. Selena’s untimely death at 23 years old upon being murdered by the president of her fan club, Yolanda Saldivar, left the world shocked and in mourning, but her legacy lives on.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
