The most important release worldwide this week concerns an artist named Lorde that I had never heard of. She is a 96 year old girl, so young, active since 2009 and she is from New Zealand.
However, there were already singles released this week but I had not understood that it was so famous and so important. We are talking about an artist who already in 2009 made a planetary success, namely Royals.
with his first album, which then came out in 2013, Pure Heroine, arrived as the second most sold project of the year in New Zealand, in short, it is not exactly America, but it starts, that is, in the sense, first single, first album, however, you hear it all over the world, this is the important thing, this is like the...
If it was football, it would be the strongest team in New Zealand today. And it was four years that it was still there, because they haven't had a chance to talk about it yet. Then the second album came out, Melodrama, in 2017. Then the name was replaced by Angelina Mango. Joke. The album, among other things, has acclaimed criticism for debuting number one on Billboard 200.
So at that point she reaches the total, she confirms it even in the United States. And now, in short, she came out first with Solar Power in 2021 and now with this new album Virgin. She has a genre that I like, but not only does it please me, I perceive her as an artist who makes quality music. She is electronic, very electronic, indie, avant-garde pop.
Chillwave, many things in a single style, a truly unmistakable style. And on this new album they say: "Electronic predominance perfectly adapts to the texts, going up and down with emotions, pulling back, increasing the impact." This is true, she plays as she wants, with time and on time.
There's a critic who says, the challenge of Virgin, especially given its brevity, is that it cannot leave a strong impression, because even with the artist's vocal conviction, the melodies often lack adherence and tend to be stifling. I don't agree with this, in the sense that...
Maybe yes, it's a truth, but it seems like a choice to me. I have the feeling that this artist didn't want to do something that had a pop predominance.
that should somehow enter the skin but something that you just sift that you turn around and that you don't want to get like a punch to the nose but maybe like a scratch that doesn't hurt too much but makes you bleed
I see a project that has a different impact and that in today's era really presents a concept of quality experimental many genres an artist that I honestly respect and that has all my attention I should maybe soon take a test and do a nice analysis because in my opinion
That's another important aspect, I don't understand a lot, I've listened to something but I can't figure out if I have the translation in front of me. But in my opinion there is also the lyrical aspect that has a value in this artist, a great value. In any case, you can perceive that he is trying to communicate something deep.
Letting go is not surrendering, it is stopping to retain what no longer belongs to us. Hi, I'm Virginia Gambardella, author of the podcast 360 and in the last episode I already interviewed Luca Gotto. We talked about freedom, spirituality, but also about expectations, identity, the courage to let go. Listen to it immediately by searching 360 by Virginia Gambardella on your favorite podcast app.
