ANAJU PRESENTA ‘MANTO DE FLORES’, EL SEGUNDO SINGLE DE ‘RAYO’.

Image
Desde que Anaju cantara ‘ Catalina ’ de Rosalía (Los Ángeles , 2017) en la gala 0 de Operación Triunfo 2020 ,  sus referentes artísticos se han mantenido constantes:Ya en su primer EP (‘ MOOD ’) se mostraba que Anaju los buscaba en la naturaleza y en lo tradicional . En el sonido, Anaju se atrevía a bucear en el synth pop ( ‘ ese o ese’ ) o en un pop más acústico ( ‘El Mensaje’) e incluyó su versión particular de ‘Catalina’ en ‘ Carbón ’ , que cuenta con la colaboración de _juno en la producción y composición. Desde el primer EP ha pasado ya un tiempo y Anaju parece simbolizar en su imagen artística una ruptura para la era de su primer álbum, Rayo , que saldrá a la venta el 28 de abril .  Frente a la estética cálida, casi de dulce miel de MOOD , el arte de Rayo está marcado por colores fríos , que juega con contrastes, como se observa en la contraportada del álbum. Este gusto por presentar una estética cuidada, bien pulida e hilada parece ser un rasgo del proyecto artístico de Ana

WE TALK TO FATAL FARM'S JEFFREY MAX TO KNOW MORE ABOUT JOHN MAYER'S NEW LIGHT VIDEO.

 In 2018, John Mayer released the song New Light.  The track, with 80s influences and great synths, sounded funky pop and different to his previous work. As he said on Twitter, he had some disagreements on the budget for the music video. The final result was a funny video shot completely by Fatal Farm on greenscreen using common images and enjoying John's sense of humor.  Jeffrey Max of Fatal Farm, director and creator of the video,  took some time to chat about the making of the video and the inspiration behind it: What inspired you for the video? How the song inspired to create the music video? 'John approached us with the idea of a "mall kiosk" style video. The kind of novelty video that anyone could walk up and pay for. He knew he wanted to do the whole thing on greenscreen and let us just find the best moments in the edit. The song is a reflection on getting older and changing, but the video idea seemed very rooted in the sloppiness of youth. That juxtaposition h

EDUARDO CASANOVA BRINGS HIS AESTHETICS INTO MODERN MUSIC.

Image
Eduardo Casanova is a Spanish actor and  director, who gained popularity after the premiere of Pieles, 2017(Skins) , his first film  after directing and writing some short films. Even in his first short films, Eduardo Casanova established his aesthetics firmly ,like the prevalence of pink and lavender.   Let's dive into Eduardo Casanova aesthetic world! He mixes the old and the new ,the aesthetically socially considered perfection (pastel colour palette) with what is socially disregarded and often branded as ugly , like in  Pieles  , where he shows different stories starring by people with physical and emotional defomities.  Pastel colours create a shimmering spirit, making it feel as a different world, full of fantasy and sometimes, difficult to distinguish from a dream, and that has been brought to music, by the music videos directed by Eduardo.  There are only four music videos directed by Eduardo Casanova. Starting in 2014, with SMS's 'Un día más ' . The aesthetics

ART & THE 1975

Image
This post is the first one of a new section, called ' Music & Visual Art'. Its purpose is to show the connection between music and other arts, specially visual arts. The point is proving how ,with the help of other arts , we can get to reflect the same that music does. In this first post the focus will be on THE 1975. Its frontman, Matty Healy appreciates and is so into different ways of art (painting, fashion and music ,of course). In an interview with GQ, he admits that ,for musicians, the ' live show is (their) c urrently artistic statement visually'.  That is probably why he also uses visual design. Talking to Pitchfork for the  On the records section, where Matty broke down all of the 1975's albums,he described the first one  as an ' Apocalyptic teenage romance' . He wanted the album's art to be ' nostalgic (...) , but also modern' , something that completely relates to the project . Black and white with some classic typography and
