HAIM- EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO FIGURE ME OUT.

Después de presentar el mes pasado su comeback-single, Relationships, hace unos días Haim lanzaba el segundo sencillo de lo que será su cuarto álbum. 

Igual que hicieron para el primer adelanto del disco, el artwork de Everybody's trying to figure me out repite la recreación por las hermanas Haim de momentos de la cultura pop de los 2000s, a cargo de Terry O'Connor, director creativo de Crash y Brat de Charli XCX.

Frente a la fresca y pegadiza Relationships, el segundo sencillo tiene un subtono más oscuro y tintes existencialistas. La producción vocal procura que la voz de Danielle Haim parezca rasgada, voz que suena como una voz femenina de los 90s-2000s.

Este tema vuelve a traer a Haim a un sonido más pop-rock. Escrita por Danielle Haim, después de terminar la última gira del grupo, Everybody's trying to figure me out refleja esos momentos de seguir andando, pese a los errores. Esto se traduce en tranquilidad con las decisiones tomadas y en confianza en el futuro ("Yeah, I'll be fine"/ "And that's alright"), tras un momento confuso que aparece emborronado con las guitarras y batería.

DUA LIPA DROPS THE ULTIMATE 'LEVITATING' REMIX.(ft.DaBaby)

Today Dua Lipa releases a new video for 'Levitating', featuring DaBaby(Billboard baby). It seems that the Blessed Madonna, Missy Elliott and   Madonna were not enough (at least  commercially or chartly enough).  With  'Hallucinate' out of the US singles chart and  peaking on number 31 on the UK Official single chart, Dua is ready for a proper new single. 'Let's make it 2020' - Dua must be thinking. This decision is maybe promoted by 'Club Future Nostalgia' failure: Only selling 28K in its first week, after changing its release date to a week later. One great thing brought back in this remix is adding back the chorus. The Blessed Madonna remix speeded up the song, eliminating the chorus parts, which were the key of IDGAF's success.   It is remarkable that Dua decides to do two remixes of the same song, instead of dropping music videos for singles off Future Nostalgia. 'Love again' or 'Pretty Please' might be a good idea for singles...

MICHAEL KIWANUKA WINS 2020 MERCURY PRIZE- WATCH HIM DISCUSSING THE INSPIRATION FOR THE ALBUM.

Image
 Last Thursday Michael Kiwanuka was announced as the winner of the 2020 Mercury Prize. After the big announcement, Michael performed ' Light' on Later...with Jools Holland  .  Early this week, Michael talked to the Mercury Prize's Youtube channel about the inspiration and the making-of the album. Based on 70s Black Music, Michael is not afraid of embracing his roots, his heritage. He is confident like never before. That is why the album is called ' KIWANUKA'.  There is some kind of joy on the record, shown in ' You Ain't The Problem ', an ode to confidence and persistence on being true to yourself . African drums melt with the alt-rock spirit (emphasized with warm vocals, such as in ' Rolling ') that exists throughout the whole album and a raw honesty in the lyrics. There is also time for searching hope  ( I've Been Dazed) in a religious way and for delicious piano-ballads-interludes.  'Hero' addresses Black Lives Matter.  The reviv...

WHY IRAMA'S 'LA GENESI DEL TUO COLORE' REFLECTS 2020 AND THE PANDEMIC.

Image
 Italian artist Irama presented La genesi del tuo colore for 2021's San Remo festival, the biggest Italian music contest. It scored the fifth position, even with covid-19 difficulties:A member of his staff tested positive and Irama and his team had to cancel the rest of the performances and be in lockdown. Irama could just perform the song once and the clip was repeated in the following nights. The song is illustrative of these times and of 2020, especially. Here's why it represents everything we have lived and we're living with the pandemic: 1. The Lyrics:  The lyrics are truly poetic, from the beginning. The song was described by Irama as 'an anthem to life' and that's what is shown throughout the whole piece. Life triumphs in each verse: 'There won't be no snow to break a tree' the tracks states in its first words.There is no better symbol of life than nature and a tree fighting for life, to spring, and life is going to make through in spite of ev...
