Tana Vallejo, who now goes by the artistic name The Tenacious, She's a friend of mine, one of my best. I admire her and love her deeply. Those kinds of feelings haven't stopped me, on previous occasions, from criticizing the work of others in music. But now I have no excuse, since I've come across an outstanding piece of work, with a great song, which we had already reviewed previously, and with a video that perfectly captures the feeling of the audio that thrills from beginning to end. I'm not exaggerating.
Tana (and from now on let's respectfully call her by her artistic label, LaTenaz), He stands out not only for the captivating rasp of his voice and for the heartbreaking feeling of his lyrics. She, a prominent audiovisual professional, She is in charge of shaping and directing her own videos, obviously knowing what he is talking about and how to manage his own image.
His videographic work with I love a stranger, The first single from what will be their new album is stunning. The smoke surrounding the story It is an essential part of the set design and the choreography itself. which is present in all the movements that the protagonist and her companion weave before the viewer. It is the smoke, Alongside the singer's explicit sensuality, The one who takes the course of history and gives value to the production, almost entirely made in black and white.
I love a stranger She is in pain, and it is elegantly reflected throughout the clip. It's real pain, Presented with precision, it allows the viewer to feel the power of that emotion. The video is convincing and reveals a powerful woman who is not afraid to show her weaknesses which, contrary to what is suspected, protect her and allow her to grow in front of those who are interested in her songs.
The music of the cantina, the music of our grandparents, is revived in the renewal proposed by LaTenaz that state of being that the new generations deserve. Let's give a round of applause and continue watching and listening to this excellent work.
