Biography

Roberto Carlos Lange (born 1980), better known by his stage name Helado Negro, is an American musician. In 2019 he was awarded a United States Artists Fellow in Music and also the recipient of a 2019 Grants to Artists award in Music from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. In 2015 he received a Joyce Foundation award. A South Florida native, born to Ecuadorian immigrants and based in Brooklyn, Roberto Carlos Lange’s upbringing provides essential elements to his songwriting, including his consistently bilingual—English and Spanish—lyrics. Exploring the expressivity within intense states of being, Latinx identity, and pluralistic sensibilities, his music as Helado Negro is an engrossing statement achieved through lyrically personal and political avant-pop music. Half a decade and half a dozen albums since Helado Negro’s 2009 debut album Awe Owe, and multiple projects under various aliases, Lange has cultivated an untraditional approach to songcraft that places his voice on an adventurous musical impulse without shying away from familiar pop appreciation. Helado Negro is now signed to and released his 2019 album This Is How You Smile through RVNG Intl., a Brooklyn-based music institution. This Is How You Smile received an 8.5 rating and Best New Music from Pitchfork.

LYRICS

I'll be asking you, my friend
Where to lay it down again
Trees begin to hold us still
Living wounds won't heal themselves
Streets flood with your love
Cars flowing down like mud
Sun barely under clouds
Heat so soft, it sounds like

You
Wish you could be here
Just with you
Wish you could be here

I'll be asking you, my friend
Where to lay it down again
Trees begin to hold us still
Living wounds won't heal themselves
Streets flood with your love
Cars flowing down like mud
Sun barely under clouds
Heat so soft, it sounds like

You
Wish you could be here
Just with you
Wish you could be here
You
Wish you could be here
Just with you
Wish you could be here
