SONGS THAT WILL MAKE YOU CRY (TOP TEN)

 1.'She has no time'-KEANE: Tim Rice-Oxley wrote this song to Keane's vocalist, Tom Chaplin, when he was fighting against unrequited love. Tom's vocals give you goosebumps as usual , but there is some disenchantment in his voice that will surely make you cry.

2. 'The River'-Bruce Springsteen:The song exudes sadness from the harmonica intro. The instrumental feels simple compared to his other songs. The storytelling lyrics are full of frankness and sincerity. The story of  the young couple having their dreams destroyed suffocated by life in a small town will definitely move you ('No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle' //'No flowers no wedding dress').

 3.'Ocean Eyes'-Billie Eilish: A great way to show the fear of falling for someone through Billie's voice , full of vulnerability.

 

4,'Run'-JOJI: Dive into  melancholy caused by an untrue relationship. Joji's vocals are sad and feel like he is crying out hopelessly ('And if I took on the planet' //'Will I pay my dues?'). The guitar solo compensates the unhappy vibe of the rest of the song. The video is as claustrophobic as the feeling of disappointment.

5. 'Habibi'-Tamino:This song is also about a broken relationship. You can feel deep vulnerability in the vocals (influenced by his arabic roots), especially at the end of the piece. The song mixes sadness with anger in the bridge.

6. 'Ave María' // 'Silent Night'- Michael Bublé: If you have listened to Michael Bublé's Christmas record , these are probably its saddest songs , but not because of that not beautiful. 'Ave María' in latin is calm and heavenly peaceful .

7. 'Es por ti'- Rosalía cover: Her beautiful voice, full of sighs, with autotune eliminates the hope of the original version, but adds emotion, feeling . Rosalía sings as she has finally found ,tired, what she was searching for . It is the severity and vulnerability what makes this version special and what will make you start criying.

'Bagdad', from El Mal Querer will also make your eyes shed tears.

8.'Cayendo'-Frank Ocean: This is the first song in which Frank Ocean sings in Spanish. It is gloomy, simple to deliver all the pain in the vocals.

9. 'Paradis Perdus' , 'Saint Claude' and 'Nuit 17 á 52'-Christine And The Queens: These songs are all from her 1st album, which contains vulnerability in its depth versus her liberating second project, CHRIS. 'Paradis Perdus' and 'Nuit 17 á 52' are both about a break up or destroyed love story, while 'Saint Claude' is an incredible love letter to a 'young man in the streets of Paris', as she said in her last year's Primavera Sound performance. 

10. 'Adieu Mon Amour' - Hatik: The rapper's feeling in his voice illustrates the sadness behind a break-up, which seemed irremediable.

11. 'Cover Me up'- Jason Isbell: I could not end this list without this song. It was a love song from Jason Isbell to his wife. It is filled with honesty and contains some beautiful lyrics ('But home was a dream, one I'd never seen' //'Til you came along').

RENTRER CHEZ MOI- CHRISTINE AND THE QUEENS.

Image
  Chrisitine and The Queens regresa con una nueva canción tras su álbum Paranoia, Angels & True Love y después de publicar en fin de año su excelente versión de Staying Alive de los Bee Gees -con algún verso de Night Fever - que ya interpretó en el Festival de Cannes de 2023.  El nuevo tema viene  por sorpresa y es cantado completamente en francés. Rentrer chez moi parece regresar al pop minimalista y envuelve en su atmósfera reflexiva . Como ya dije en mi reseña de To Be Honest , Christine brilla en sus letras poéticas y existenciales y lo vuelve a hacer aquí, con la sencillez y autenticidad en la expresión del sentimiento por encontrar el amor y el refugio.   Siempre que Christine canta enteramente en francés, suele acompañar un sentimiento -con la excepción de su último disco, donde predomina el inglés- de intimidad, vulnerabilidad y delicadeza , como hizo en Chaleur Humaine , en las baladas de Chris y en   la mágica  Rien Dire .  El existencialismo se enfatiza en el puente

DON’T FORGET ME-MAGGIE ROGERS.

  La semana pasada se publicó el tercer disco de Maggie Rogers, Don’t Forget Me .   Para este tercer trabajo, Maggie abandona las guitarras rockeras, los sintetizadores y los agudos de Surrender para volver a sonidos más acústicos y diurnos. En Don’t Forget Me se deja el sonido nocturno y comprimido de la ciudad por el de banda sonora para los viajes de carretera de primavera-verano . Maggie Rogers se sitúa más próxima al single de 2019 , Love You For a Long Time , cuestionándose sobre el amor verdadero y abandonando la euforia del deseo de Surrender , reducido solamente a Drunk . Las reminiscencias a Kacey Musgraves -muy notables en el banjo de Sick Of Dreaming - en parte se deben al trabajo de Ian Fitchfuk, productor de muchas de las canciones de Golden Hour , también de Ghost de Sigrid , que figura como compositor de ocho de las diez canciones del disco, además de productor. Por otra parte, la primera pista del disco, It Was Coming All Along , recuerda a John Mayer en Love On T

THERAPIE TAXI SPLIT UP AFTER SEVEN YEARS.

 Just a year ago, Therapie taxi dropped their second album, titled 'Cadavre Exquis'. The project was the second chapter to their successful first record, 'Hit Sale'. The song with the same title peaked on number 18 on France singles chart. It featured Belgian rapper Romeo Elvis and the video has more than 70 million views on YouTube. They were shortlisted for a Victoires de la musique award.   Sometimes described as controversial, Therapie taxi explored almost every genre in popular music, from synth pop ('Candide Crush'), to acoustic classic French pop ('La Proue'), trap beats ('BB la nuit'), house music and French hip hop. They managed to have their own public trying out different genres, unafraid to get out of the standards and being in constant  experimentation.   But, luckily, they are releasing an EP before they say goodbye, which is out January the 8th. Merci et Bon voyage (to the members of) Therapie Taxi!
