If you have any doubts about the present and future of Argentine rock, just turn your head and look at what the female artists of that country are doing. Now, focus your attention specifically on the former leader of the band Los Utopias, Barbi Recanati, who for some time now has been warning us, through exciting songs presented in single format, about what we can now say, We can present it as one of the best Latin albums so far this year. Recanati premieres Real-time location, a seven-track album that We can describe it as well-rounded, fascinating, powerful, and especially convincing.
Less than half an hour long, but Location… It is a compilation of tunes that tears hearts apart as it progresses, due to the rawness of its interpretation and the honesty contained within it. His lyrics are a slap in the face, where genuine anger and disappointment are perceived, while at the same time there is a sense of catharsis in his singing., A desire to abandon all fury with a clarifying scream. It's a guitar-driven album, uncomplicated by frills. and rather develops an elegant but never complacent vehemence in its execution, where the use of reverberation appropriately fills every space in the mix, permanently seducing the viewer as it gives rise to the contained narrative.
We had already presented the tracks that open the compilation on Zonagirante.com, The Others y No (this last song had made it into our list of 19 favorite tunes of last year), but, having enjoyed the entire production, We've fallen in love with On the forehead, the best moment of the whole album. It's a composition that gradually takes flight, where the performer takes us on a rollercoaster of exasperation and keeps us on edge. throughout two hundred and fifty-four seconds of sound radiation tunnels and an impeccable vocal performance.
Are you looking for a new album to listen to on repeat during your lockdown and quarantine? We recommend you spend an entire afternoon listening to this album., of heartbreaking beauty and brutal honesty.
