TAMINO VUELVE CON UN CONJUNTO ÍNTIMO EN SU SEGUNDO ÁL BUM, 'SAHAR'.

El pasados viernes 23 de septiembre Tamino publicó su esperado segundo álbum, después de adelantar varios singles. El primero de ellos fue ‘The first disciple ’ en el que el protagonista es el laúd arabe o ud (que también acapara la portada del tema) y donde se habla sobre la fama de esa forma reflexiva y ceremoniosa a la que acostumbra el artista belga.  Tamino ya no es solo el narrador observador (del que hablé en el primer post del blog ) y testigo del primer álbum, en SAHAR, siente en primera persona desde el principio de cada canción , como en la solemne   You Don't Own Me , donde vuelve a mostrar su poderío vocal. 'SAHAR' es un disco íntimo , donde Tamino te envuelve para retratar la crudeza y las oscuridades de los sentimientos.  Y es que Tamino brilla al hablar del desencanto. Hay cierta belleza en el retrato del desengaño, de la decepción o  tristeza que se esconde tras sus canciones:  La belleza de una noche de luna llena donde las estrellas se reflejan en el

LES VICTOIRES DE LA MUSIQUE 2022- REVIEW

 On Friday  Les Victoires de la Musique had place in  La Seine Musicale (Paris).  Les Victoires de la Musique  are France's most important music awards. They are considered the French Grammys and  they usually award artists from the critic's point of view. Even though they're frequently compared to the Grammys, they are better like the BRITs, for the shortage of the categories. The dearth remains in the number of nominees too, with only three nominees per category (!) , meanwhile there were categories at the BRITs with 15 nominees. Neither too much nor too little- I would say.  There are only 10 categories and 6 of them make reference to the artist's genre (male or female), letting only 7 'pure' categories: Artist Of The Year, Song of the Year, Album Of The Year, Best New Artist, Best Concert, Best Visual Art (or Music Video) and the new category: Album le plus streamé (The most Streamed Album) . This category tries to attract the youth to the Victoires and giv

WHY DUA LIPA'S FUTURE NOSTALGIA MOONLIGHT EDITION FAILED TO BE MORE THAN A MARKETING STRATEGY To REVIVE SALES.

 Dua Lipa released on February 11th the reedition of her second album 'Future Nostalgia', called 'Future Nostalgia: The Moonlight Edition'. The world was expecting some tracks to dance to, but, when the tracklist was revealed, something changed. Dua lipa decided to include a bunch of bonus tracks that sum up her latest collaborations, from Fever (ft. Ángele) to One Day (ft. JBalvin and Bad Bunny).  Ángele's collab already was far from the album concept, being much darker and far from the disco influences. The Miley Cyrus collab is probably the most similar to the Future Nostalgia record, both remembering the 80s. However, what's the reason for including One Day on the record? A pop-reggaeton track, with no references to the 80s, no disco vibes. The inclusion of these collaborations has made the reedition rely on other people names and it makes you think that they had to search songs to fill the record. The reedition also includes some new songs and the single, W
