By Catalina Santos @miahushThe Chilean producer, musician and MC Jet Mars, former member and founder of the legendary Chilean rap band Elefante Mecánico, today delights us with his #84, a very melodic and calm album, with a classic hip-hop sound, including strong and deep beats, deliciously used samples and some synthesizers whose timbre reminds me of the sound of dubstep; Everything was very elegant, very well put in its place. The high musical quality of this production is to be expected from an artist with such a consistent career. However, what captivated me most were the lyrics of each of the songs and the coherence that links them as fragments of the same work of art.
#84 It exposes the purity of humanity, with its lights and shadows, through rhymes that surf over thoughts and feelings that we all surely deal with at some point in our lives. They are existential and visceral lyrics that lay bare the author with their frankness and honesty, Lyrics that speak of love, liberation, and motivation, that encourage strength, perseverance, getting back up after every stumble, and facing life with courage, daring to fight for what you love. It speaks of killing time, of conquering fear, of the immensity of the universe, and extends its invitation to the world to soar through rhymes and reach for the sky, without seeking fame or affection., only by being honest and always grateful for life, To those who love you and to those who hate you, know how to say "I'm sorry".
It's no secret that music is more than just sound. Personally, I especially enjoy songs with lyrics that touch my heart, that inspire me to be a better person. I feel peace and joy when I perceive all of this that unites us because we all need to find that same inner strength to get up every day, no matter what, with a strong core and a smile on our face, ready to continue growing from within. Without a doubt, Jet Marte, with all his artistry, has awakened inspiration in me., And perhaps that's true for everyone who listens to it carefully.
