“We Are Not God” – A Voice from the Heart of the Hospital Ward
Music Reviews“We Are Not God” tells a real-life story through a powerful musical lens. NHS Scotland urologist Alejandro Estrada takes the listener on a sonic journey through the eyes of a medical professional. The single, out on 23rd May 2025, dives into the personal and emotive subject matter, weaving a compelling narrative that’s both relatable and stark. It’s a cinematic darkwave track, complete with stirring synth-pop elements, stripped back to offer a sound that’s as emotive as it is clean.

The song is an anthem of the human condition. Estrada isn’t critiquing the medical world from the outside; he’s singing from the inside, offering a perspective from someone who’s lived and breathed the pressure every day. The world might demand doctors to be infallible, but “We Are Not God” is a sobering reminder that they’re just human. Musically, the song starts with a moody, pulsing synth as Estrada’s voice cuts through, honest and grounded. The lyrics pull the listener in, challenging them to perceive the world around them in a new way, to see the dichotomy of expectation and reality that healthcare professionals grapple with. The pressure is high, the stakes are life and death, but in that constant fight to save lives, where does that leave room for being humble, for just being human? There’s a haunting beauty in the track’s melody. The production is clean but rich, a seamless blend of modern synth-pop with a classic wave undertone that feels both current and timeless. Estrada, in partnership with Jean De Oliveira, has meticulously mixed the single in studios across Glasgow, Valencia and Porto, crafting a soundscape that’s both vast and intimate. The production’s clean, not cluttered, allowing the core message and emotion to resonate through every note and word.
The video complements the music, built entirely of medical vintage footage. It’s a raw visual accompaniment that adds another layer to the already emotionally charged song. The aesthetic is hauntingly beautiful, like flipping through a forgotten doctor’s diary. ESTRADA Music Project has not only captured a sound but encapsulated an entire experience. Alejandro’s ability to channel his real-life pressure into creative energy is not only admirable but rare. This single doesn’t just stand out sonically; it carries a weight, a purpose that resonates far beyond its runtime. “We Are Not God” is not a plea for sympathy, it’s a demand for understanding.
