  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 Hou rs-The Weeknd. An unexpected bet for pop without leaving R&B . His admiration for 80s pop came just in t

 If you weren't feeling so Christmassy this year, Caroline Polachek and A. G. Cook are here to save your Christmas spirit just two days before Christmas Eve. Caroline didn't need to write a new song, she just adapted the lyrics to her hit 'So hot you' re hurting my feelings ' to  get' So cold you're hurting my feelings'. She is Mrs. Santa and is missing Santa while he is delivering presents around the world. The synths of the original version hinted the suitable jingle bells at the end of the song, creating 'Christmas on the dancefloor' vibe. 

  1.'She has no time'-KEANE:  Tim Rice-Oxley wrote this song to Keane's vocalist, Tom Chaplin, when he was fighting against unrequited love. Tom's vocals give you goosebumps as usual , but there is some disenchantment in his voice that will surely make you cry. 2. 'The River'-Bruce Springsteen: The song exudes sadness from the harmonica intro. The instrumental feels simple compared to his other songs. The storytelling lyrics are full of frankness and sincerity. The story of  the young couple having their dreams destroyed suffocated by life in a small town will definitely move you (' No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle' //' No flowers no wedding dress').  3.'Ocean Eyes'-Billie Eilish:  A great way to show the fear of falling for someone through Billie's voice , full of vulnerability.   4,'Run'-JOJI:  Dive into  melancholy caused by an untrue relationship. Joji's vocals are sad and feel like he is crying out hopeles

 Kali Uchis released on November 18th her second studio album, 'Sin Miedo (Del Amor y Otros Demonios)' , her first one almost completely in Spanish. Singing in Spanish and embracing her latin origins have always been present in her projects, as in Isolation , where she featured  Reykon for the track ' Nuestro Planeta'. The latin spin that fills up most of Kali's recent music was first shown on ' Solita', produced by the famous reggatón producer, Tainy  and not included on the album. Kali Uchis has been giving us clues since she covered Don Omar's  'Pobre Diabla' and La Lupe's 'Qué te pedí ', featured on the album. These covers show the two trends Kali is following on her latin pop view: Classic Reggaetón vibes and Latin Soul , approaching to more traditional latin music. The first track is ' La luna enamorada ', an unexpected bolero. Kali has been observing smartly her childhood tunes and latin music,and that is shown on this

When I say 'stereotypes' I am referring to the association of an artist to a specific genre or style :An artist is consider pop and remains pop til the end of his/her career. The industry and the public classify an artist and make you expect he or she is going to always drop the same type of music. In the early 2000s there was an explosion of new artists and some of them were what we later  used to consider pop queens like Beyoncé, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Despite Beyonce started in Destiny chid,(R&B) during her debut she mixed both R&B and pop ( 'Irrepleazable ' and 'Crazy In Love' ) . S he went totally pop with her 2008 album 'I'm Sasha fierce' . With songs like ' Halo ', ' If I Were A Boy' and ' Single Ladies' she became played in every pop radio station. Her pop side was confirmed with her 2011 album '4' and her self titled album (songs like ' Pretty Hurts ' or 'Love On Top '). But in her 20

 Just a year ago, Therapie taxi dropped their second album, titled 'Cadavre Exquis'. The project was the second chapter to their successful first record, 'Hit Sale'. The song with the same title peaked on number 18 on France singles chart. It featured Belgian rapper Romeo Elvis and the video has more than 70 million views on YouTube. They were shortlisted for a Victoires de la musique award.   Sometimes described as controversial, Therapie taxi explored almost every genre in popular music, from synth pop ('Candide Crush'), to acoustic classic French pop ('La Proue'), trap beats ('BB la nuit'), house music and French hip hop. They managed to have their own public trying out different genres, unafraid to get out of the standards and being in constant  experimentation.   But, luckily, they are releasing an EP before they say goodbye, which is out January the 8th. Merci et Bon voyage (to the members of) Therapie Taxi! 

Last month Apostles released their second single, Goldrush, which follows up Waste A Moment. The Wigan band is preparing an EP and both singles were great samples to start paying attention to this emerging band. Waste A Moment is sparkling, joyful and set to make you jump and making you fly to your best trips memories. The song leaves you a positive vibe perfect to start the day. George Lyons' vocals are the perfect ingredient for a starting band. I am sure they will become pretty recognizable while the band keeps on growing. The track's spirit matches the artwork, colorful , mixing the blue morning sky with sunset colors. The second chapter is Goldrush , has got a little touch of sadness or disappointment, but as soon as the chorus starts you forget that and it becomes really energetic, even electric. There is also a great production on the song , with echoes to sing along to. Let's get ready for their EP!

 2021 Grammy nominations have been announced. Beyoncé is the most nominated artist this year for the unnoticed Black Parade and for her film for The Lion King:The Gift.  There are big snubs like The Weeknd, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Summer Walker and more. Let's get into it ! 1. Grammys do not know how to classify songs with trapbeats sang by pop singers . It happened with Ariana Grande 's  7 rings, nominated last year for Best Pop Solo Performance and it is  the same with Yummy and Changes. Do you remember the tweets talking bout 'R&Bieber' and that it was like a Chris Brown song? Well, for the Academy is totally pop. Grammys just do not know how to classify the plenty of songs that top the charts and that have mix trap with pop or that are simply trap. I guess The Academy is trying to nominate the new direction of pop music, but forgetting, for example, 80s influenced tracks, as The Weeknd synths tracks ' Blinding Lights'.  2. The Weeknd snub : If there

 CANDID released just a few hours ago the cover of Blondie's 'Heart of glass' . It seems like the song is experiencing a revival, much more since it was covered by Miley Cyrus in September (peaking on number 38 on the Official Charts). And now we can enjoy CANDID's version, full of brilliant vocals and ready to be the soundtrack of your weekend or lockdown.The band is not afraid of take the risk as they proved on their latest single, Numbers Game, a strong shout against music industry's falseness. 

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
