When you think of Joe Keery, what comes to mind? Instinctually, you might home in on his signature acting roles – and you would be forgiven for doing so. However, there’s far more to Keery than what appears onscreen.

Juan Wauters has released ‘Manejando por Pando’, a new single from his upcoming album MVD LUV, out 27th June. The track arrives with a video and follows earlier previews ‘If It’s Not Luv’ and ‘Dime Amiga’, which together form a loose three-part visual story. The album is a homecoming of sorts for Wauters, who recorded it entirely in Montevideo, Uruguay; the city he left as a teenager and now pays tribute to in a record rooted in memory, rhythm and affection.
