 Tras varias semanas sin publicar ninguna entrada en el blog, he vuelto con una reseña (en vídeo) del nuevo single de The 1975 (#themilnovecientossetentaycinco en español, como se me escapa al final del vídeo). Espero que os guste el análisis y el nuevo formato. 

 Today I return with other 5 songs that will make you cry. This is the second part to a post I did near 2020 Christmas . The purpose is not to drive you in tears in the summer holidays, but to create a playlist that you can check out whenever you feel in the mood to listen to them. 1. Unchained Melody- Elvis : Elvis covered the classic song from The Righteous Brothers in his last concert in 1977, just weeks before his death. He sang it while playing the piano in his iconic white and shimmering golden suit. Elvis showed his vocal power during the performance and appeared to be a little bit exhausted after the whole show. You can even hear some suffocation on his breath. This performance may be the perfect metaphor for the last and final years of the King: Locked up in Las Vegas' Westgate Hotel, always performing and physically deteriorated, but so joyful and powerful on stage as in his early days.  This memorable performance makes up the final scene of  Baz Luhrmann's Elvis bio

 Con la llegada del verano vuelve el Irama (ahora 'el chico italiano', como se grita en un ad-lib en su nuevo vídeo) más urbano o reggaetonero. Tras conseguir el cuarto puesto en el Festival de Sanremo este año y lanzar su álbum 'Il giorno in cui ho smesso di pensare ', Irama (con 5 gocce aún en el top cinco de la lista italiana) publica el vídeo para su nuevo single, PAM PAM PAM PAM PAM PAM PAM PAM (PAM x8) , su oda al twerk. El tema sigue a otros lanzamientos veraniegos de Irama, todas candidatos a canción del verano y con sonidos más urbanos o latinos ( Nera , Arrogante , Mediterranea o Melodia Proibita ). El nuevo single se queda muy al estilo de J Balvin (ya vimos que la colaboración con Willy William contenida en el álbum era muy similar a Mi Gente ), volviendo a mezclar el italiano con el español y expresiones latinas, y apostando por el Moombahton (mezcla de house o electrónica y reggaeton). El vídeo, creado por LAND HO, sigue el escenario de barrio (Nueva Y

 Christine and the Queens has unveiled her new single ' Je te vois enfin' two years after releasing the EP 'La vita nuova' and months after releasing the two-track-EP 'Joseph' with two covers ( Freedom by George Michael and Michael Fugain's Comme L'oiseau ) that she performed in the Global Citizen festival. The single is written and produced by herself and mixed by Mike Dean (known for working with The Weeknd or Travis Scott) and hints a new era. Christine is no longer Chris, but just ' Redcar' , as she's been using as username in her socials. The song talks about forgiveness, which could be connected with the archangel Saint Michael references she's been posting.  With the start of a new era, a new and completely different character or persona appears. This time Christine hasn't got her hair cut, but she is always in a classic striped suit with her red, fingerless glove that she started using in the Global Citizen performance and

 Cala Mijas is a new festival which will take place the three first days of September in Mijas (Málaga, Spain). This week the festival made public the complete line up, transforming this novice festival in one of the most exciting of the year. The festival made its own name with the first artirsts confirmed: Liam Gallagher or Artic Monkeys , among others. The Festival is one of the few stops that the Sheffield band is doing this year in Europe (alongside their performance in Cala Mijas' twin-festival, Kalorama , in Lisbon). The confirmation of their performances, alongside with Blossoms and The Lathums ' defined a line up that was up to Reading & Leeds or the Knebworth concerts and joined together the rock British scene in just one festival. Apart from betting for the British rock scene and the big names ( Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds , The Chemical Brothers ), the Festival hasn't disregarded other genres, adding important names of the latin and Spanish urban genre ( N

Some weeks ago, Spanish-German singer shared his new single, Solo Para Ti , featuring the German EDM-producer and Dj, Topic. The collaboration comes after the producer success in 2020 , who scored top 10 hits in almost every European country, like the UK, Germany or Belgium with Breaking me and the follow-up Your Love .  Solo para ti is a simple dance song with some acoustic guitar arranges that remind us that Álvaro Soler is on the track.  The lyrics are really generic and similar to other EDM songs (pretending to be personal but not that much)  and that's maybe the magic of it, the key that could make it work in the charts of many European countries. Because his latest era, Magia ,  hasn't made the same numbers as its predecessors ( La Cintura and Sofía have more than 200 million streams on Spotify, while Magia, the lead-single and album title, hasn't reached 30 million yet, despite peaking on number 28 on the German Singles Chart, almost matching Sofía (which peaked

 A few weeks ago, on March 19, it was the one year anniversary of Teatro D'Ira Vol. 1 , the second album from Maneskin . The project came just a couple of weeks after winning Sanremo, a commercial technique that is often used to make the most of the contestants' stardom - like Irama has done with Il giorno in cui ho smesso di pensare - On the album, Maneskin tried to fulfill and accomplish their best rock sound after the more pop Il ballo de la vita . Today, we focus on the first single from Teatro D'Ira  , VENT'ANNI, where the band melts in alt-rock guitars -forgetting hard rock for a while- to introduce ballad drums in the closing piece of the album.   Vent'anni is an authentic existentialist poem about the worries of people in their early twenties:  The ambition to leave a mark, idealism, the choices and mistakes we made, the opposition to materialism... Just in the first lines, Maneskin adresses the current topic of nonsense-drama associated with teenagers an

 J Balvin and Ed Sheeran dropped last Friday a joint EP of two songs with the  original and unseen title of... The titles of the two songs together ! The EP comes after Sheeran has been flirting with Latin music for a while, as he did in Camila Cabellos' s Bam Bam. This time he has tried to speak Spanish (which remains a little unpolished yet).  The EP's two songs ( Sigue and Forever My love ) are the result of an unexpected friendship between the two artists after meeting in a gym in Manhattan last year- Ed Sheeran told Apple Music-.  The first one, Sigue , is a reggaeton track -produced by Tainy- where Sheeran shows he's really into Balvin's world (similar to Sheeran's featurings in the UK rap scene, Stormzy's Own It for example) with  sexual references, showing off and the same thoughtful rhyme, like when he sings 'Sigue que a mí me gusta todo lo que exhibes' ( Continue because I like what you exhib it) - maybe some people commonly use the verb e

  After being last in the Sanremo Festival this year and not convincing la Stampa with his 'Sesso Occasionale', Tananai has experimented a huge chart-success, having two songs on Italy's Top 10 this week ( Sesso Occasionale at number 9 and BABY GODDAMN at number 6). Tananai, who had previously collaborated with the famous Italian rapper Fedez, presented Sesso Occasionale to the famous festival, a track that continued the alternative dance spirit of his music  and that recalls Village People's Y. M. C. A. in the chorus. The song and his vocal performance didn't please the Stampa that placed him in the last places since his first performance.  However, his music has experimented a huge success since then, showing that, despite the place you obtain at Sanremo, the exposition is really big. Even after a month after the festival, the songs from the contest hog Italy's top 50 most streamed songs on Spotify.  Just by performing, the contestants will get their songs i

 Last Friday Irama released his new album, which follows up his 2020's EP, Crepe . The project comes after the incredible success of Ovunque Sarai, both commercially (the track is certified platinum in less than a month) and critically (Irama scored the 4th position in the Sanremo Festival this year) . Far from his latest latin sound, in  Ovunque Sarai  Irama looks at himself and his feelings. In particular, Irama portrays the feeling of missing someone relying on nature as the artistic reference point. The result is, in a chain of future tenses, a long poem , showing an almost unprecedented depth, artisitic growth and maturity. Irama's vocals on the track raise the track even more, creating an experience, where feeling is the protagonist.  Now, almost a month after the Festival, we get the album, Il Giorno in cui ho Smesso di Pensare.  The record includes featurings from his frecquent producer, Shablo  (and also writer of Ovunque Sarai),   Rkomi, Sfera Ebbasta, Guè, Mace, Wi
