In addition to Bad Bunny, Jamila Woods, Carolina Alabau and the trio Mujeres are releasing their album. These are the reviews of the albums of the week (and here you can read the reviews of the latest films to hit theaters):
Bad Bunny, Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow ?????
Trap / Rhyme
A rich songbook gives life to the new work of the Puerto Rican musician, singer and global phenomenon, an album of which the abandonment of reggaeton as a vehicle of expression and successful communication is especially striking. In fact, it is a parking lot, since his place is occupied in a way by his return to trap and hip-hop, as well as a certain search for more experimental things. And this is accompanied by an intense personal-reflective feeling that permeates much of the lyrics and themes of the large volume, focusing on his current moment as a person and as a star.
This last aspect is already more than evident in the song that opens the list of twenty-two compositions on the album, Nobody Knows, in which he confesses that “this album is not to be played in a million views. / It’s so that my real fans are happy, even if I don’t feel one hundred percent inside.” On this journey, the Latin musician – who last year published the acclaimed album Un Verano sin ti, with which he became the most listened to artist worldwide on Spotify for the third consecutive year – has the vocal complicities of Arcángel, Bryant Myers, Eladio Carrión or De la Ghetto. A journey, it is said, bordering on reggaeton (with the exception of Un preview and Perro negro) and with Spanish again as the only language, and that, beyond what may tire your voice or your ego, continues to place music urban as the most popular genre on planet Earth.
Jamila Woods, Water Made us ?????
Pop / Jagjaguwar
The one from Chicago has created its most accessible work and at the same time the one that proposes the greatest challenges and ambitions. Conceived and resulting from the pandemic era, Water made us reflects a process of self-reflection and also spiritual intensity, which materializes in multi-stylistic forays (dream pop, hip-hop, folk, r’n’b) or pieces of conversations with friends and relatives.
Carolina Alabau, An imagined sentence ?????
Song / Limón Productions
The Catalan vocalist and pianist puts her voice as intense as it is intimate and even fragile at the service of a series of song classics arranged by the celebrated Javier Limón. Analog and organic sound clothing, which seeks to give musical personality to the voice song by song (Stop, Two Gardenias, Twenty Years or Maybe, Maybe) with general success.
Women, From flowers and entrails ?????
Pop / Boy Sound
In this double From flowers and entrails, the Barcelona trio expands the panorama, in such a way that along with their well-known pop, punk, and garage nerve, there are juicy incursions, as brilliant as they are spontaneous and imperfect. Thus, in the 17 songs a gem with a dream pop flavor like Horizontal en llamas cohabits with the country Temporal sentimental or the improvable Doble mal.
