Sagan – TRUE
We are extremely pleased that, when we least expected it, one of the best electropop projects that has existed in the Colombian scene (and, perhaps, without exaggeration, one of the most interesting things seen in recent years in this hemisphere), presents a new song that breaks, in its own way, the traditional boring musical panorama of the first months of the year. It's a tune with the duo's established characteristics, framed within dream pop and trip hop, which, although it doesn't break the mold of what's expected, is uplifting. The promotional video is an interesting piece of audiovisual material, a kind of homage to an eighties classic of horror and science fiction, which was Poltergeist, With a more romantic and perhaps more erotic vision, the result is aesthetically pleasing and enhances the power of the audio. Good work.
Kita Pena – Aquatic life
This is the ideal summer, the perfect vacation: Friends, swimming pool, tanned skin, clothes with colorful prints that would look ridiculous at other times of the year, beer (lots of beer) and uncomplicated songs that beg for problems to be left in the past and for only the sun and the desire for fun to shine here (nobody promised Shakespearean sonnets on this occasion). The song sums it all up and could easily be the hit of the summer, or at least the favorite song to blast in the car on the way to the beach, while we refresh our skin with sunscreen. And the promotional clip has more than enough to keep you entertained, even if the city's weather, where all the action unfolds, seems to contradict the heat. This little summer gem comes to us from Paraguay, and we're celebrating it as it deserves.
Therapy – McDonald's
A band takes pride in not having a McDonald's in their neighborhood and celebrates it with a song made with digestive problems, unnecessary violence, and lots of french fries. This Argentinian band, which aims to emulate the Red Hot Chili Peppers of the 1990s, has decided to launch its campaign against the clown of the golden arches chain and the food it offers., Presenting their tomato sauce as a blood clot and the red-haired character as a potential serial killer (some vegans seize on this line and turn it into a perfect metaphor for their anti-meat rhetoric). And to top it all off, halfway through, we see backgrounds taken from The Simpsons. What justifies our reviewing this video? Perhaps it's that we found the tune amusing, and we wanted, for a while, to stir up the emotions of more than one unsuspecting person. We don't promise not to do it again.
