It's disappointing to see a band we've liked since the beginning of their career lose its charm. The Chilean duo Denver He forged a very interesting path in his early days, with his albums Totoral y Music, grammar, gymnastics, doing Pop with risks, with mischief, with precious malice. Now we see them, after their failed breakup and confusing reconciliation, and the result of their songs is no longer the same as before. Now Dënver is just another band, with a forgettable sound and the strange idea of promoting Mariana Montenegro, their vocalist., as a sex symbol of the moment. At times it seems that marketing ingenuity has surpassed musical sums.
Denver premieres My love, a video that can be confused with so many other clips out there. Yes, the same band that amazed us with audiovisual wonders full of daring details, fine editing, and elegant unbridled energy, now falls into a curious palette of pinks, with old references to aerobic exercises and a desperate use of manga aesthetics, where Montenegro She puts more effort into selling us her underwear than into exciting us again with a good composition.. Has Denver lost its magic? Is it possible that the corporate machine of global pop has swallowed them up and destroyed their talent? Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope this is just a temporary setback.
