1. Imploding The Mirage- The Killers. This album has an incredible way to capture immensity and euphoria (of finding trust,love and unavoidable faith), as it is shown in the wild synths on My Own Soul's Warning (with Bruce Springsteen's influenced vocals) and Dying Breed. However, it is also able to draw peaceful joy , like in the serene 'Blowback'. The record is an enchantment and delight of finding a new way full of authentic feelings, excellently brought to music. Maybe that belief in authenticity and powerful love is what we needed this year.
2.Foolish Loving Spaces-Blossoms. The Stockport band succeeds in their complete and finest analysis of love, which makes you swim through alt -rock ('Your Girlfriend' and 'Like Gravity') and pop perfection ('Oh No (I think I'm in Love)' and 'Swimming Brain') .
3.After Hours-The Weeknd. An unexpected bet for pop without leaving R&B. His admiration for 80s pop came just in time when pop seemed to be disappearing for hip/hop and trap. With vibrant and contagious synths, pop has bloomed again.
4. La vita nuova - Christine and the queens. An elegant closeness to sadness. Christine touches pain with a sutile, perfect amount of sadness('People I've been Sad' and 'Nada' or 'Mountains' ). Intense feelings are in the focus and her inspiration on the passionate love story between Dante and Beatrice proves it. Desire, the euphoria of founding it and tears flood in La vita Nuova
5. Future Nostalgia-Dua Lipa. Another certain bet for pop, disco and dance music. Bringing back pop never felt more enjoyable. It was risky to take pop back to the top of the charts instead of going with an R&B and trap beats,and Dua has revived pop, even with a sample excess.
Antes de empezar con la entrada de hoy, quería decir que hace tiempo que no me paso por aquí. Algún que otro cambio profesional ha hecho que no haya podido escribir todo lo que me hubiera gustado este mes. También es cierto que he estado escribiendo algunos artículos que espero que vean la luz pronto. En concreto, están pendiente de publicarse dos artículos, uno sobre el reciente disco de Parcels y sus vídeos musicales (asunto sobre el que quería escribir desde hace algún tiempo) y otro, sobre Arthur Russell . Este último es un mero primer acercamiento a su obra, que es mucho más extensa de lo que relato. Una vez dicho esto, pasamos al post de hoy: Hace poco más de una semana TRISTÁN! publicó su primer disco ( Tristán!, Ahora Con Reloj ), un proyecto que llega a escasas semanas del lanzamiento de su amigo y colaborador Teo Planell, sobre el que he escrito alguna vez en el blog. TRISTÁN! forma parte del colectivo Rusia-idk, del que son miembros también Ralphie Choo ...
This year's Christmas Day marked the fifth anniversary of George Michael's early death. With this post I wanted to pay some sort of tribute . Today I'll focus on his album Faith. It was released on 1987, after Wham's split in 1986 and after having released three successful solo singles: Careless Whisper , A different corner and the duet with Aretha Franklin, which won a Grammy Award for the Best R&B Performance by a duo or a group. Those three singles weren't included on the 10 tracks of the album, which made the project seem a new chapter, like his physical appearance , as he would do with every other album (Older, 1996). All the songs were written and produced by Michael himself, which notices his involvement on the project and his music. The album title is the same as the most successful track of the album, Faith. Faith is the perfect blend of rock and roll and pop. With its iconic video, George Michael established himself as a visual artist, having mem...
I had been hearing a lot of time about Frank Ocean but never really got into his music. During the quarantine, I had the opportunity to discover and explore his two studio albums, Channel Orange and Blonde. Channel Orange is a brilliant debut album. The first track ont the album, Start , contains ordinary life's sounds (laughs and chat notifications sounds) but then, a TV is turned on (as in the End track, it is turned off) ,as the beggining of something and 90s videogames sounds appear, like Frank's childhood memories. The second track, Thinkin Bout You, turns into a love and vulnerable ballad (most in the falsetto parts) , with Ocean talking (probably) about his first love. The falsetto parts are tender,show the inocence of 'thinkin 'bout forever', as a chi ld who confess a deeply believe.There is hope, a hope for reciprocity. In the non-falsetto parts (' No, I don't like you, I just thought you were cool enough to kick it'), Frank's tone i...
