(ESP-ENG) New Music, Good Music!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
It's been a while since I had a little top of those songs that have come out lately and that have caught my attention. The reason why I stopped doing this is because I feel that it is increasingly complicated to make a compilation due to the large amount of music that is coming out over a month, the consumerism of music is increasingly higher at the same time that most of those songs that come to light after a few weeks are already discarded by new ones. This is not anyone's fault, it is simply a sign of how the world is culturally and the same thing that is happening here is happening in the cinema, an abysmal oversaturation of content. But today's topic is not this, it is a small context to show you the three songs that have been released recently and that we have been listening to for a while.
- Dua Lipa - Training Season
In music there is something that very few people achieve throughout their careers, we are talking about progression and evolution. Many stay where they know they will always work, they do not seek to improve any aspect that is on the list of what defines them as artists and that to me is a mistake. Why do I say this? - Because Dua Lipa is the proof that by tweaking little things it is possible to go from being a good artist to a true world star. When this half-British, half-Albanian woman came out she was a good singer but on stage she was very difficult to see, a broomstick moved more than her. Fortunately that changed, because she wanted it to, and today we have one of the best female artists of recent years. Training Season is one of the catchiest songs I've heard lately, the melody, the beat, the overall musicality is very good. And yes, it's a very pop and mainstream sound but that doesn't take away from the fact that the song delivers. The lyrics tell us that she is looking for a real love that is capable of doing everything for her, a definitive and solid love because for her the training season is over, which is understood as going from relationship to relationship without direction. One of the songs that I have liked the most of her and it is merely for its music and harmony; a very top song.
- Linkin Park - Friendly Fire
I have spoken several times about Linkin Park but every time a "new" song of theirs comes out it is necessary to repeat the words again. Chester Bennington was the soul and leader of that group, a guy with a really privileged voice and it is so much so that when these songs come out that were long shelved, hence the "new", the feeling of nostalgia and excitement is very real. What Linkin Park is doing by the hand of Mike Shinoda is reviving songs they wrote once but never came to light, this time I understand that it will be a compilation album to be released in April and this song is the first to be released as a single. Friendly Fire is a song that goes hand in hand with Chester's way of expressing things, it talks about those silly fights we get to have with people close to us and that may end badly when in reality and without knowing it, it is just a friendly fire. I'm much more into music than lyrics, although I pay attention to the latter, but if I like a song melodically, I'm sure I'll listen to it without any problems. It happens to me with this one as with the previous one, this song has that something that makes me always want to hear it. I will always say it, Chester left very soon, one of the best voices of the genre, without any doubt.
- Green Day - Bobby Sox
Green Day was a band that back in the nineties, early 2000's, they were one of the bands that revolutionized everything, they became extremely popular and loved. I talk as if that were no longer the case but sometimes it's hard to dimension who we are writing about. That these guys, almost 30 years later, come back and release an album with this kind of songs where what is predominating is the hardest mainstream pop is something that is undoubtedly to be applauded. I also read that rock may revive in a few years because what is not a lie is that people are listening less and less to Hip Hop and Trap, so this change of trend is very likely to happen. Bobby Sox is the most Green Day song you can listen to, it's a song that basically asks if you want to be my girlfriend, boyfriend or best friend while we do the typical things that are done in those relationships. And even the video, the typical one in the garage of a house with some friends drinking alcohol, is one of the most of the genre, more of the time and more of them that could be done. I'm glad that Green Day is still active in the middle of 2024 and even more glad that the fans and new generations are still listening to them as always.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos escuchamos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to everyone, we'll hear you in the next one!
