Santiago Moraes – What was I going to tell you?

This album sounds like a deserted neighborhood street in the middle of a Sunday sunset. This kind of free mix of blues, rock, bolero and other tropical aromas carries its own particular sadness, its own special melancholy. Mind you, these kinds of feelings are healthy and necessary, and nobody says we'll carry them around for life. What Santiago Moraes, a former member of Los Espíritus, does..., and for some years now, fully responsible for his songs and his solo career, It's about navigating through the different states of nostalgia and yet, He creates fascinating contemporary songs that can perfectly speak to what fills our hearts at this stage of life. What's most appealing about this Argentinian musician is the freshness with which he approaches his composition and production, where there's no stylistic confinement but rather an experimentation that lends coherence to the whole. This is why we hear unexpected instrumental arrangements, textures that, at first glance, seem incompatible. And yet they fit together perfectly. 

Moe Palau + Oliver Max – Always Coco

Let's turn now to the feminine side of longing. Let's remain in the mood of solitary hours. And let's listen to this artist residing in Mexico City who makes gallant and solidly constructed ballads. This is a compilation of four songs, barely ten minutes and change in length, which we can describe (without intending to offend anyone, but rather seeking simple and direct words) as beautiful, as affectionate. Palau's voice is particularly youthful., like someone who wants to pamper us while singing. . Saying this shouldn't confuse the listener and make them think this is a corny album; on the contrary. Good pop music doesn't have to fall into overproduction, overexposure, or the need to apologize for wanting to be cute. It's an honest and beautiful job, and that should be celebrated.

Mayor – Chin chin, Vol.1

Now we're going to break with everything. Enough of hiding in a corner, let's go out and release all the anger that accumulates in our bodies. Let's tear down the scenery, rip our clothes, and jump against the world. Surely the members of Intendente, a duo from the city of Buenos Aires, They have a wet dream of seeing us explode against the walls with the intensity of their techno recordings, without apologizing to anyone (they don't have to) and not even sympathizing with the possible victims of their art. We are part of their imaginary video game, where only the most daring survive.. Some will be offended by its intentions, others will celebrate its cathartic chaos. This is electronic music bordering on the limits of sanity. These tracks barely exceed five minutes combined. After what we said, are you going to take the risk?
