If one day we have to make a demanding list of the most outstanding talents in Latin American music today, We must undoubtedly include the Chilean Fran Straube. She, whose image already establishes clear signs of avant-garde, is a true inventor of sounds and exquisite songs. Her work in Miss Garrison and in his personal project, Blond, It makes us trust and remember that music, that air so corrupted these days by suffocating and limited formulas, has in its hands evident possibilities to be beautiful material that deserves to be celebrated. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I insist on describing Straube's artistic work as extraordinary and restorative. She has an obsession with creating exquisite textures whose mission is to create the perfect frame to fall seduced in each of her compositions. But his work does not produce mere trinkets that dazzle the listener in an empty way: They are layers of sonic gold that build a total figure that shines and shakes the soul without pause.
The Plants, Rubio's new single is also being promoted with a simple but precise video in its guidelines. The entire scene unfolds in an abandoned house overgrown with wild vegetation, where color reigns supreme. The clip uses precise blurring to mark the song's rhythm, and the established visual style is a delight from beginning to end. Straube moves confidently in front of the camera, skillfully conveying the tension of the recording with subtle movements. With the lens as her witness, she dances to her own music, her body swaying delicately to create a coherent interpretation of the music. The clip's structure seems innocent, but it manages to firmly and effectively engage the viewer. It's a good piece of work that deserves to be seen several times.
Little by little, the audience for Fran Straube's music, in all its forms, is growing. We insist: In a market where repetition and mediocrity prevail, What this Chilean woman does successfully heals so many auditory injuries that we suffer every day.
