Pushing Boundaries in Sound: Estrada Music Project’s “You Need To Go First”

Estrada music project is the musical alias for Alejandro Javier Estrada, a Scotland-based doctor and musician who writes songs after his shifts. His music often draws inspiration from his medical work. Recently, he released his latest single You need to go first on September 12, 2025.

You need to go first is more conceptual and experimental than a conventional track. First, it begins with a phone ringing while the lyrics, “first you need to go,” echo. The music sounds like an electronic keypad, and during the first half, the same lines keep repeating alongside the background of an unanswered call. The entire sound design makes the listener feel tension, delay, or frustration.

Moreover, the repeated lines create a mechanical, anxious, almost clinical atmosphere. This could tie back to Alejandro Estrada’s hospital and medical experiences. In addition, the chorus has lines like: “I will reply so soon, just let me finish … I need to reply to three calls. The waiting time is swingin,” “if you fail I go” repeated multiple times, and “You need to go, you need to try first,” which read like a reflection on responsibility, timing, and pressure.

It’s almost like turning routine medical duty or patient interactions into music—calls to respond to, waiting, priorities, someone else having to “go first” before you act. Furthermore, the repeated phrases make the song meditative and slightly unsettling, looping the idea in your head.

Ultimately, the track immerses listeners in tension and repetition, turning ordinary actions into a mesmerizing electronic experience.
