Cristian Quirante’s second album, Conduccion reckless, consists of a dozen songs that exhibit conceptual homogeneity and musical diversity focused on detail. The thing is, in the case of Alizzz-Quirante, detail and nuance are defining words. And if there is another element that characterizes the work and actions of the creator of Baix Llobregat, it is the brilliance with which he amalgamates all the elements. A constant that characterizes both his own works and the countless collaborations that have placed him at the top. His first album as Alizzz, There must be something else, raised fair expectations, and with this Reckless Driving, the one considered by some to be King Midas of pop insists on the vehicular power of the group beyond that of the soloist, with whom he is precisely has associated throughout his career. And he delves into the marriage of urban with that of, let’s say, classic rock – the electric guitar protagonist in songs like Solos tú y yo; the start of the initial and formidable Lost Highway – making it the other basic column of his project. Conceptually, the album is very outlined around the interpersonal relationship, with contours that are as romantic (Tiemblo) as they are understandable and shareable. Common to him, collaborations are not simple filler or flash. On this occasion, Renaldo stands out
Annie Clark continues to ride in the big divisions with her unmistakable and unbribable proposal, which on this occasion is more naked, guitar-driven and energetic. Thus, in this album, for the first time produced entirely by her and which balances between melody and noise, the presence of Dave Grohl on drums in one of the songs fits perfectly.
Sam Beam’s seventh album as Iron
The composer, instrumentalist and singer gives shape to a calm work of maturity, overflowing with reflections of his own life moment and of the now. He offers a pop palette rich in vocal, sonic and instrumental nuances, where he demonstrates how he can move with tact, art and conviction (songs co-written with his brother Xavier and co-produced with Roger Rodés).
