“What was that”, by Lorde
When he was 16, Lorde surprised the entire world with his debut Pure Heroinean introspective work that reformulated the standards of young women in pop, leading David Bowie himself to define it as “the future of music.” His most recent launch reaffirms the prophecy.
“The sound of my rebirth”: Thus Lorde described this single, first advance of his fourth album, Virginto launch on June 27. After participating in the “Summer Brat” of Charli XCX with the remix “Girl, So Confusing”, Lorde returns with a metal battery synth-pop, reminiscent of his second album, Melodrama. A rupture song, which addresses the bewilderment of loneliness, its image problems and experimentation with design drugs. Yeah Melodrama It worked as a soundtrack for silence after the party, “What Was That” does the same with singleness. When the relationship ends, what is left?
For Lorde, a more dancing under the consolation of “Las Luces Azules”, the hug of his audience in the homemade video clip (filmed in Washington Square Park just a few hours before his launch, in an express call to his fans that was broken by the New York Police) and the honesty of his music.
“End of the World” by Miley Cyrus
If the world ends, let’s have a party! This is the premise of “End of the World”, the first advance of Subject Beautifulthe new visual album of the artist who will leave on May 30.
Between him Ballroom R&B More traditional and an ABBA pop chorus, Miley Cyrus opens a new era in its trajectory with a light song, of nostalgic references and almost-parody lyrics. Behind the romantic dye, the repetitive mention to his home in Malibu and a beatler wink (“Let’s take a party like McCartney with a small help from our friends”), “End of the world” is mocked from the new conservative flying given by American society that seems to “pretend that it is not the end of the world.”
“Down to Be Wrong” by Haim
The trio of sisters announced the third and last advance of his new album, I quithis first material in five years, expected for June 20. Base between Blousera and Country, with members of the Alanis Morissette school, “Down to Be Wrong” is a song of rupture with a liberating spirit, which leaves the door open to develop the concept of the album: how they advanced in the visuals of their last recitals, I quit It symbolizes the renunciation of all negative things: nicotine, shame, overweight and “everything that does not deserve.”
The song was released next to a video starring Lagan Lerman, marking the return of Percy Jackson’s actor to the screens after a period of silence.
Scorpios barfrom Blair
With an ambitious aesthetic deployment, the successor of Crying at the party (2022) It appears as the consecration of Blair, the young Argentina with influences of wool of the king who holds a growing popularity.
Conceptual, Scorpios bar Create a universe of religiosity and sacrilege, with ecclesiastical iconography and solemn aura. Structured as a novel, it opens and closes with “alone”, a dark mantra that frames this introspective narrative of destruction. In the middle, it goes through the most accelerated rock in “They will never understand it”, the pop naif of “everything I have” and the melancholy of “stop being me”, a song of orphanage. Ironically, “dead father” is perhaps the lightest of the thirteen tracks, contrasting the dark lyrics with an instrumental of an infant-juvenile strip.
The album includes three collaborations: Santiago Motorized gives her blessing in “Broken Man”, the writer Mariana Enriquez makes of the black angel with a dramatic reading in “gross sins” and gives way to a twisted and morbid dillom in “Live flesh”, a kind of continuation of the psychopathic skid of her By caesarean section.
Latinasfrom Cazzu
Far from the trap, the Jujeña artist defends her roots with 14 songs of Latin lineage. The album is a sound journey through Latin America, with bachata in “bad luck”, sauce in “that shoot”, Argentine folklore in “I had to lose”, tango in “Odiame” and cumbia in “With another.” The collaborations – with the Spanish Maka, the Venezuelan Elena Rose and the Brazilian Wiu – complete the fan with flamenco, bolero and funk.
Lyrically, “the boss” reflects on her recent motherhood in “Inti” and addresses her controversial relationship with the Mexican Christian Nodal in “Dolce”, hugging female empowerment as a reference woman in the industry. On this is also your book, Perreoa collection of reflections on feminisms in the urban music industry, which has just edited.
