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.
Last Wednesday The 2021 Brits were celebrated. Usually in February but delayed due to coronavirus restrictions, the Brits took the O2 Arena with the best ceremony of the year and the best Brits in years. Despite that, the ceremony lost 860,000 viewers since last year. The Dayly Mail points out that it's because viewers wanted to watch a show focused in music, not in politics (Dua Lipa seems to be the one to blame here for claiming better salaries for frontline workers). Anyway, awards ceremonies are losing more viewers each time: The Grammys had historic low ratings and the same happened with ACM awards in country music or to the Oscars. However, this year's BRITS have been one of the best. Here's why: 1. Dynamism : The set was a big room with the celebrities sat in tables, like in the past years, but due to social distance , there was more space between the tables, so when winners were announced the artists had to walk a longer distance. This showed t...
La semana que viene se publica la edición deluxe de su début álbum ,AMIR y esta puede ser una buena oportunidad para volver a disfrutar de canciones como 'Tummy' o 'Habibi'. Descubrí a este artista en su pequeño concierto en la sección para NPR:Tiny desk music concert,donde me sorprendió su buen directo y capacidad vocal. La magia de Tamino reside en canciones como Habibi o Indigo night, que se inician con la voz de Tamino narrando y describiendo desde fuera para después,estallar en un arrebato de vulnerabilidad y sinceridad patente en su voz (como hace cuando pronuncia el primer'habibi' de la canción del mismo título).A su vez,en la misma pieza musical apreciamos a Tamino como voz y regenerador del rock más próximo a Leonard Cohen o a la etapa final de David Bowie.Otro elemento a destacar son sus recuerdos, notas,amonías similares a los de la música árabe. En cuanto a la letra de las canciones, es profunda,reflexiva,real y con un inglés alejado de fr...
This week's top 10 has got two new entries , which are Uzi's À la fête, on number10 ( with more than 10 million views on Youtube since June) and Wejdene's COCO ( number 3 this week after entering last week in number 27), her second top 10 after the success of Anissa. On number nine Bosh's Djomb goes down one place. It was a summer hit and it seems that it is going to leave the top 10 by the end of the summer. Franglish and Tory Lanez collaboration , My Salsa, is down one place after peaking in number six . In that position is, this week, Hatik's Angela. It reached number one in July despite its release in December. The track gained popularity after Hatik's role on Validé. THE TOP FIVE: After ruling the charts , NInho and Dadju's Grand Bain descends one place in the charts as well as Aya Nakamura's Jolie Nana goes down one place after being number one for a few weeks. Burna Boy's remix of Jerusalema is on number two and we will see if it final...
