Hello friends, good vibes to all.
The world keeps turning, there is still a world cup that is grabbing everyone's attention but none of that is an impediment for music to keep coming out and we can have the respective musical premieres every month. It is also true that some months are weaker than others, it is not due to anything in particular but simply that we do not see as many new songs as one would really like. But that is not an impediment for me to share with you today some of those songs that I have been able to listen to throughout this month and are the first reason for this publication, so let's listen to some of those releases and find out if they are to your liking.
- Eros Ramazzotti - Los últimos románticos
Being a person born in the eighties and that I enjoyed my youth in the nineties I have to say that I am very familiar with Eros Ramazzotti as this singer-songwriter was very big in those years so it sounded not everywhere but it was common from time to time to hear his great songs. That after so much time he is still relevant, logically he is not what he was, but that he is still betting on a genre that it seems that people do not listen so much or that every time gives the impression that it is being relegated is something very commendable and it is a sign that no matter what he will continue to release his music. It's not that he doesn't have an audience either, Ramazzotti's fanbase must be gigantic. "Los últimos románticos" is his typical song that talks about love, relationships, that everything is possible as long as you have each other no matter the obstacles, all sung with his particular husky voice and with sounds a bit retro, I felt like I was back in 98 listening to this song but it's good, the ballad/pop/Latin touch can never be missing.
- Avril Lavigne - I'm a Mess (with YUNGBLUD)
Here we fall a little in what we were talking about with Eros, that an artist like Avril after perhaps almost 20 years making music continues to come out with songs that everywhere you look have the stamp of her is an incredible thing. This artist is very curious because about her there is a conspiracy theory that says that the Avril we are seeing today is a double since the original died a few years ago, that is something that has been disproved and proven false but there are still people who want to believe that. The reality is that yes, she had a period where she was absent from the music scene but little by little she has resurfaced with new music and an example of that is this song. "Soy un desastre" talks about how people can be left after a breakup or when a relationship of any nature is over. This is a little bit the mood that Avril has always handled, she has always been one of those rebellious artists who sing about dark feelings, in the good sense of the word, trying to make all those people who are in the same situation feel a little bit identified. I like that she continues to sound, I think we have all listened to her in her time.
- Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Shape I'm Takin'
For the third consecutive song we return with the theme of those artists or in this case groups or bands that do not go out of fashion and this time it was the turn of the Americans Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Another band that has years of years making music always faithful to their style, I don't want to say psychedelic but quite alternative to make rock and that so many people like, me included, we are talking about that they have more than 35 years making uninterrupted music where their biggest hit, "Californication" has more than thirteen years of released. This specific track, the one I'm sharing with you today, is from their most recent album [Return of the Dream Canteen] which also marks the return of John Frusciante to the band after more than ten years away. It's a very unique theme to this album as if you watch the videos on YouTube you'll realize that, it's made for you to enjoy the whole journey one after the other. The lyrics talk about the need for a specific person to accept another person as they are because deep down this person is interested to the point that they are not even able to leave town. If you are a fan of the band, no doubt you will find this album quite particular and interesting.
- Alicia Keys - December Back 2 June
Every year Alicia Keys does some sort of Christmas special and this 2022 would be no exception to that rule. What better way to welcome the happiest month of the year than with Alicia, one of the most privileged and impressive voices in music today. I think what I like most about her is the style she injects into each of her songs that I have not seen in anyone else, it is a way of singing, moving, even dressing that makes listening to any of her songs, but let's talk about this one in particular, an experience for our ears. The premise is very simple, yes, it is Christmas time but it is one where material gifts take a back seat, what matters for Alicia is that intangible, is to be there for that special person. In fact this is not the only one with this theme, as I saw it has two more songs but this was the one that caught my attention the most. One of the weirdest things I find is that Alicia is never trending, we almost never see her at the top of Spotify for example despite being who she is, of course she is not an artist who releases many songs but I don't know, I find it very curious that her musical history is not reflected in these platforms. Anyway, very top as always.
- Paulo Londra - Nublado (feat. Travis Barker)
When I saw this collaboration the truth is I was crazy, I couldn't believe that Travis Barker, an icon of world music and now more popular than ever because of Blink's return to the stage has sat down to play a song by the Argentinean Paulo Londra. Nublado is not a recent song, it will have a few months but this featuring is and the truth is that it is very good. The plus is obviously Travis on drums that gives an explosiveness and a touch of pure rock to a song that obviously is not. If you listen to Barker's entire preformance you will realize that he clearly plays this song the way he wants and doing whatever he wants to do to enhance the song and knowing that the spotlight will be on him, there's no fooling yourself with that. Good for Paulo Londra, who is getting stronger and stronger after years of silence and not being able to make music, you know who he is but these meetings are things that rarely happen and that's why you have to enjoy them, besides the song sounds really good, it's a very good song.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos escuchamos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to everyone, we'll hear you in the next one!
