in Domicilio Conocido you can find a special and enveloping depth behind the layers of each of the tracks, loaded with nuances of coldwave and dream pop, but in an vert organic way, through which Coqueta proposes a dynamic and mysterious journey for their debut album.
best track: Caos Sereno

in general terms, this album is a mix of influences and sounds that can work together most of the time, it is eclectic but not lacking in identity, since it is framed in a full neo-psychedelia atmosphere, where all the tracks have at least least one memorable moment, be it the instantly classic intro in Rice or the instrumental moments in Drum, the scottish trio consolidates in Heavy Heavy a fun and eccentric proposal in which no element seems unnecessary, where lyrics are exciting and that ... read more
the first tracks really give the impression that the project will be fun and carefree, however, the eventual development of RUSH! contains some of the emptiest and most repetitive (considering that 17 tracks can be a very long run) attempts at mainstream rock in recent years.
sometimes it's the lyrics, the generic instrumentation, or just the performance as a whole, but Måneskin delivers on this project, a collection of forgettable songs that hit rock bottom even more on BLA BLA BLA and ... read more
not only to feel like a celebration of their classical sound, but it also delivers a strong evolution, This Is Why shines in every aspect, wether is for the production, the riffs, the storytelling or Hayley's vocals, besides the songs are most of the times really authentic.
overall, Paramore solidifies an enjoyable and leading album for the music scene of the moment.

the first half of Down of the Final Hour feels promising when it hits all the highlights, but the rest takes a very long way to be barely memorable.

a sparkling experience, in which everything remains connected to the nature in a very beautiful way.

for an EP with no pretensions other than releasing fun collaborations, it remains enjoyable as Bratty's individual essence is not lost, especially her lyrical composition, which is always pleasant.

while Gloria is not exactly the worst project that can currently be found in the pop scene, which is clearly influenced by the popularity generated on digital platforms such as tik tok, the truth is that the development and evolution of Sam Smith as an artist can be appreciated through nuances and winks towards queer celebration and self-love, rather than as a solid improvement in the quality of their music.
in general terms, although Sam Smith's fourth studio album is not exactly the most ... read more
it is completely true that there are outstanding tracks in Diamonds & Dancefloors, and also that Ava Max ideally lands in this approach with the most classic influences of synthpop music of recent years, however the whole thing feels lost in the lack of a declaration of authenticity through the lyrics of most of the songs, as well as the marked uniformity between them, which inevitably ends up generating the feeling that the project is incomplete and doesn't end up finding its identity in a ... read more
the sophomore album by the irish band feels like a fresh breath for the post-punk revival scene, being an album full of identity through the composition of its complex lyricism, but also one that keeps sounding completely necessary, ingenious and attractive through its instrumental moments, managing to consolidate a dynamism that offers some particularity each time it is visited again.
best track: A Thousand Lives
least favorite track: Existence, Exist
nothing is more enjoyable than witnessing an artist's evolution on an unexpected field, but one that works and generates a pleasant surprise in more than one moment.
Lets Start Here. is a project as ambitious as it is solid, which with one of its main approaches manages to stand out as one of the most interesting releases of the year, its effervescent fusion of hip hop with a clear presence of psychedelic rock and jazz is so authentic that it even seems like the definitive field for Yachty, as ... read more
on their fourth studio album, Parannoul delivers a balanced blend of art rock and shoegaze that doesn't falter significantly throughout its hour-long run.
although it's true that it constitutes a fairly marked coherence in it's rhythm and formula, which can make the project feel undynamic at certain times; it also allows the songs to shine on their own and even when they don't stand out above the best moments of the album, they are still managing to propose something interesting.

the most significant aspect of this project is definitely the enveloping experience that Dollanganger builds through the composition of her lyrics, the storytelling is far from average
same that, combined with her vocal personality, make up one of the first striking successes of the current year.
favorite track: My Darling True
least favorite track: Summit Song
overall, this album could've consolidated a more defined personality, but even if not, there are some notable highlights on Turn The Car Around, sometimes in its instrumental aspect and other times through the vocal interpretation, closing with at least an entertaining journey.
favorite track: Don't Say It's Over
least favorite track: Sonny The Strong
the most authentic nuances of Sakamoto's long instrumental journey are somewhat lost due to the subtlety of the changes during each of the tracks, perhaps the most noticeable contrast is in the middle of the project
still, it may take time to get to a full apreciation.

here Margo Price delivers an entertaining and cohesive collection of country tracks. The album's composition feels repetitive at some point, but most of the instrumental moments are interesting to come back with a few replays.

i'm back here with my quick thoughts on the most of 2023's albums that I can listen, missed u a lot.
such a cool mood, it's a very cohesive album.
still it feels kind of one note, as if some of the tracks were not living up to their full potential.

El quinto lanzamiento de Lady Gaga es una incursión completa en la faceta más orgánica de la artista, presentando algunas de sus pistas más emocionales y un interesante coqueteo con la música rock y country, creando un álbum poco hermético pero coherente la mayor parte del tiempo, que obtuvo un recibimiento polarizante pero auténtico, porque nadie estaba esperando un álbum como este de su parte en 2016.
El recorrido de la ... read more
El octavo proyecto discográfico de la banda británica Coldplay es indudablemente su experimento más osado, consiguiendo fusionar la expresión máxima de su libertad conceptual, retomando reflexiones sociopolíticas importantes y siempre estableciendo mensajes simples y consisos en medio de una atmósfera instrumental cimentada en el art pop pero que añade elementos variados y especialmente innovadores para su discografia.
Desafortunadamente ... read more
El cierre de la serie kick de la artista venezolana Arca es una propuesta estrictamente minimalista y extravagante, centrada en la música ambiental, la presencia mínima de vocales e instrumentales abstractos que terminan por consolidar una de las atmósferas melódicas más herméticas de su carrera.
