Oh Margo – Perris 2.0
This Colombian urban music project with gothic influences is taking shape, and its productions aim to make their presence felt at parties without resorting to the obvious clichés of mainstream reggaeton. They call it "dark perrreo" and perhaps their aspiration is to be heard in more sophisticated environments, more alternative celebrations or fashion shows of designers with more daring taste. Likewise, the message this time around isn't much different from what's circulating in any nightclub these days: The girls want to have fun, and therefore demand to receive the desired pleasure in sufficient doses to obtain the delight and enjoyment they deserve. The video manages to be entertaining with its intense editing of countless cuts and constantly featuring the cannabis-fueled gaze of Cata Castel, the voice of this project, who, it seems, wants to share with us the most fun details of her nights out.
Sleeper car – Hand in hand
This is short-form cinema (or, to adapt to the current format, cinema with moderate digital information), and elegant in both content and final result. The development of its story unfolds at precisely the right pace to reveal the details of the drama. (the slow-motion smoke, the daring gaze, the exquisite lighting, the established colorimetry, enough time to identify with and fall in love with the protagonist), And, incidentally, everything that happens on screen never detracts from the song's presence, which is essential for it to be truly appreciated. Dana Crosa, the actress, could easily win the award for best killer in music videos of the year, if such a category existed. Cochecama, one of the best bands on the new Argentine scene, presents a brilliant product worthy of being remembered for a long time.
Palo Pandolfo + Santiago Motorizado – Your love
Let's start this text by saying something that, as you see this esteemed visual work, you will surely confirm: This is one of the best songs of the year, without a doubt. It is a tune made with the skill and experience of a great author who, since the times of the eighties band Don Cornelio y la Zona, honors the parameters of the classic Argentine rock composition. Immediately, after just a few minutes of listening, we're already jumping and singing along. «"In the early morning your love comes/ your love comes/ your love comes"», And, incidentally, we know that, from the very first moment, the song belongs to us because this is exactly what we were waiting for to start the day. Furthermore, Palo Pandolfo tops it all off by inviting Santiago Motorizado to share the microphone, so the recording reaches all possible generations of listeners. And the video? It's simple, welcoming, well-edited, nothing complicated. Just enough to get this amazing track stuck in our heads.
Nico Rojo – The pineapple
It's a simple story, perhaps very common in our times. It's about waking up and asking oneself «"What do I do now?". It's about opening our eyes and realizing that the days are still difficult and that we have few resources to give a positive spark to what's to come. Despite sounding cheesy in the description, this is a short chronicle of what we expect to happen from the beginning of the day at home., Starting with breakfast, it's not just about what nourishes us at that moment, but about how we share it with our loved one. Here we have a tender story that, through everyday scenes, brings to life a song that, in its own way, is romantic, sensitive, and affectionate. A commendable and simple feat by this Chilean singer-songwriter, who is gaining increasing recognition across the continent.
