Carolina Zac – Parallel
You don't need an excess of colors or a thousand saturated images to represent the intensity required to ignite the fervor of the dance floor. This is clearly confirmed in the new video by this Argentinian artist., which achieves with simple and direct elements a sensual and exciting audiovisual piece, which immediately invites dancing. The clever choice of black and white textures helps the viewer immediately connect with the elegant electropop aesthetic, without the need for any extravagant elements or excuses beyond the precise reflections of the singer's face, which appear on screen without being overdone. "Less is more" seems to be the motto to follow, and on this occasion, it has worked perfectly. A great result.
Alfonso Espriella + Mateo París (Ohlaville) – The Way
Alfonso Espriella, a solo rock artist from Bogotá, is rediscovering his songs in collaboration with other Colombian musicians and has been gradually releasing the results of these projects. This time, he's joined by Mateo París, lead singer of one of the most acclaimed bands on the Bogotá alternative scene., And with it he has put together a very dense version of a theme that was originally quite dark, achieving interesting nuances that help to renew the taste for his compositions. The video, which features an interesting interplay of mirrors and striking photographic work, effectively conveys the sonic viscosity. While releasing previously unseen work, Espriella finds this type of experimentation successful.
Federico Kempff – Ruins
Using a simulated analog filming technique, reminiscent of old family films shot on eight-millimeter film, La Plata-based artist Federico Kempff brings to the screen a vehement representation of how complex, complicated, and absurdly tangled a relationship can be, and even more so its breakup. A couple of actresses on the edge of a forest, a long rope tying them together, and the random digital color shifts that contaminate the images are enough to perfectly set the mood for the singer's melancholy, who, from the song's very beginning, questions..., «"How can we listen to reason if we are devastated?"». This could be a representative anthem of the times we live in and it resonates appropriately with what we are experiencing these days. We shouldn't shy away from sad tunes, we should embrace them, especially when they contain such a precise message. Well done.
