Composition
Artistry
According to Rolling Stone en español magazine, Omar Courtz wanted Primera musa to mean a rendition to Rimas' genres style and mix of genres and its influence in the Hispanic music sphere.[6]
Many Primera musa’s tracks are often written with spaced letters with either all caps or all lowercase.
Concept
When Omar Courtz was asked about the what his debut album was about, he replied
"Primera musa (as in First muse) can mean many things" …"I like to leave people to interpret it the way they feel, since it can be something you lived like an experience to a woman". “Primera musa puede ser muchas cosas", explica. "Yo lo dejo a la gente que ellos lo cojan como ellos quieran. Puede ser algo que viviste, una experiencia, o puede ser una mujer"
— Courtz when asked about the concept of the album.[7]
He also cited his inspiration came from each big latin artist's first studio album from Bad Bunny's X 100pre (2018) to Myke Towers's El final del principio (2016) adding «I want to listen to that first "delivery" artist».[8]
