Carlos Méndez ft. Andrea Echeverry – Oh oh oh
From Panama comes an independent artist who, with his excellent pop-rock songs and rather unique humor, has long deserved the attention of audiences across the continent. His strength lies in his ability to navigate the boundaries between tranquility and understated emotion, without ever becoming tiresome. His songs, while not groundbreaking, manage to capture attention and possess their own charm. The same is true of his videos. In this case, he collaborated with Andrea Echeverry of Aterciopelados., It features a sepia-toned clip that skillfully crafts an interesting allegory about love, With a fascinating simplicity in the art direction and brilliant photography, the whole process of making it seem simple and, at the same time, with attractive results.
Take away sorrows – Tranquillity
From the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Metropolitan Statistical Area, better known as the Inland Empire, California, comes this band with a curious tropical sound, whose recordings combine roots of champeta, soukous, salsa, merengue, and other folk influences. To promote their latest single, They've made a seven-minute audiovisual piece that seems inspired by Stranger Things, It combines elements of 80s aesthetics, moments seemingly lifted from old alien movies, and colors reminiscent of early video games from three or four decades ago. The result is a fun, naive, and daring video, seemingly clumsy, but undeniably charming.
Blond – Bluebird
Once again, Chilean artist Fran Straube has done it. This leading figure in Latin music has released a new single that keeps her at the forefront of cutting-edge standards and maintains her reinvention of contemporary electronic pop. Furthermore, she raises the bar in terms of audiovisual presentations, bringing us an exquisite video, directed by Pepe Alarcón, where she plays with dazzling metaphors about love and madness. A moment of delicate elegance is her unique interpretation of the ceremony. Samá of the Mevlevi, that dance of Turkish origin where ecstasy is sought in the constant turning of the bodies. Everything that happens before our eyes is a constant representation of alienation and infatuation, With excellent use of slow motion and close-ups. It may sound repetitive, but Straube has once again delivered one of the best clips of the year.
