The mega stars of the increasingly global K-Pop, BTS, delivered their second song in English to celebrate the power of silky rhythms, the harmonies of the sun's rays, the party raps and the choruses to jump with such a joyful joythat the rest of the themes in the hits charts will seem monotonous compared to you."Butter" has a super chic disk rhythm, similar to its megahit "dynamite", but where that song was about its triumph as a group, it gives each of the seven members of BTS the opportunity to shine, and a remix ofMegan Thee Stallion, as beautiful bonus.
In "Do not go to the party" Clara Cava could have taken the easy route.This first person story, where her couple tries to retain her at home a weekend, could have become a platform for common places where fragility and strength are not involved.But this new referent of self -enhanced pop, she prefers to listen, instead of antagonizing her interlocutor: "It was a matter of speaking and understanding us a bit."The forms of cava, the absolute identification of it with the dance, are infectious enough: gigantic low, three drops, production of punga mtd, to a rapped bridge."And you want it to be/ something I am not/ and not go to the party," she finishes with conviction.For the end of the track, not only Cava went to the party.Also her audience.B.

"Homeland and life", the war cry of the Cubans in the demonstrations on last year's island, was not easy to do.The Cuban rappers Maykel Osorbo and the Funky recorded their verses in secret and sent them to their collaborators Yotuel Romero, people of zone and desmer good to mix them in the United States, taking risks that, for many, highlight the danger of making dissident art inCuba, especially after Osorbo was arrested last May.He was still in jail when "Patria y Vida" won the song of the year in the Latin Grammy.Recognition only reinforced the emotional weight of this protest anthem.
Not any issue launched in isolation is necessarily a single with all the letters.But this elastic living song does contain all the complexity of a simple classic: epic airs, but also melancholic, production to all or nothing, a stellar invited voice such as Jorge Serrano and even strings and pop self -referentiality when talking about the volume, talking about the volume,of bass, guitar, tempo and song.And, of course, there is also that choral design chorus that could be repeated forever, but that breaks it even more because it does not do it, forcing more and more plays.That is a single.Daniel Flores
After years of having given Hi-Fi entity to his most intense side, "butterfly", the advance of his first album in seven years, is the letter that Massacre extends to the mainstream to show him his other face, the one that turns on candlesto the North American west coast of the late 60s. With Gustavo Santaolalla in double role of producer and guest musician, together they shape a psychedelic carousel plagued by sound stimulations in the background."Dresses?We wove nets that unite us more, ”Sings Walas, and the phrase sounds like an invitation to sleep in the Pasto to contemplate the colors of the sky at the side of a Half Pipe.J. V.
While everyone was waiting for the BZRP Music Session with Duki, the most sought -after producer and traper of Argentine urban music had other plans: to crack another feat, which goes to Duki's album, since the end of the world.Far from the impact of a bombastic hit, Bizarrap plant a flute with pretal airs and the beat is built in a midtempo that never ends up exploding completely but supports a melody as a stadium.Duki, also measured, released (no longer) phrases that were right to copy of Instagram: "I arrived in the city and they receive me as if I were the boss", "today we celebrate if my team was champion."
Nicki Nicole was eleven years old when NTVG recorded "Never again by my side", a song that was used in a campaign against gender violence in Uruguay.Now, at 21, he brings the Flow in the first person to another story in the same tonic with the signature of EmilianHelp becomes claims of justice and then derive in rematch thirst.A rhythm of new wave and urged and an inevitable chill when the rosarina recites "this is for me and for all: I want to make you feel what I feel now."
A few seconds after you start dancing the melody made with one of those sweet flutes that make you take to primary school, Dillom nailed the first (“My OPPS are half an OPA/ I smoke with Falopa”) of a series of memorable barsand disturbing that delivers "OPA".In its 2.50 minutes there are BPM changes, the voice of the RIP Gang trapero used as percussions and mentions to H.P.Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe.It is essential to see the video made by the I do not sleep with another arsenal of references and listen to “OPA ATP-KIDS FRIENDLY VERSION”, in which Dillom sings “My OPPS are half an OPA/ I take them with the soup/ and also at school, II get good grades. ”
When Julieta Venegas's voice looks out from a lonely piano melody in "sorry bb:/", it looks like a ghostly vestige of the 2000 Latin alternative pop that floats in the present.The master mind of the song, Tainy, distorts her agile voice with disturbing production effects surpassed by a reggaeton rhythm and the deliciously irreverent verses and beaten by the love of Bad Bunny.In less skilled hands, the song would have been an unconnexed mescolanza based on nostalgia;Tainy makes her an ingenious, unexpected, bold and vision of future collaboration, without losing her center in tenderness and pain.
"Solar Power" is an impeccable summer melody: warm instruments and daring and lovely lyrics with only a pinch of intelligent and self -critical comments of the Australian Lorde, one of the most scholars of current pop (“come, come all, I am going totell them my secret / I am like a cutest Jesus ”).
If this song has a defect (very indebted with “Loaded” of Primal Scream and “Freedom! ‘90 ″ by George Michael) is that the terribly happy Groove that closes it is too short.But it's really just a detail."Solar Power" is a melody to enjoy in all stations.
This Valentine's hit arrives just after the main song, which makes it the second consecutive song of the LP in which Lindsey Jordan uses the word "honey" in an expert way that oozes serenity and spite at the same time.The best letter award is divided between two lines: "I have money, I don't care about sex" and "since I went to rehabilitation I feel so small/ strange your attention, I would like to be able to call you."After watching the video, where indie-rock singer-songwriter sings casually on a sofa with a snake around the neck and a cereal bowl in his hand, you will never think about the founding father of the United States in the same way.A. M.
The tenth studio album of La Renga, away from the network, was ready to be edited in 2020, but, well, things happen, and the wait will end soon, in this 2022. Anyway, the trio advanced in these years alreadySeven of the album songs.The last, "good pipe", is a rock with ricotero riff, of those to chant."Presidency of an anemic dream/ and without anything they want to leave you/ to be the beggar of your soul/ and your dignity," Chizzo sings in what seems like one (another) ode against politicians on duty.It will definitely be a tax hit for the national tour that the slaughterhouse will begin at the end of February this year.
Edited as simple, the Laptra label band continues in “La Snow” with the legacy of bands such as Galaxie 500 and Guided by Voices in Argentine rock.There is a simple halo in the song in the song between the indie tradition (Rosario Bléfari) and the contemporary (Isla women).Architects of the same generation but faithful to the American teaching of guitars in whirlpools and with the novelty in the Hi-Fi sound.An disobedience of the aesthetic manifesto who knew how to understand how his referents killed.And the same thing happens for the composition: the existential mantra becomes distorted.
"Thot Shit" is another Megan's glued: the song combines sexual pleasure with personal politics.But reading between the lines, it was an opportunity for Houston's rapper to defend the criticism she has faced since she jumps her fame in 2019, with Tina Snow."Those whores shoot me but they don't even get to my knees," she raps at double speed along a rhythm of Liljumadedabeat.Pointing to the media (who criticized her for the lascivaHaters go to shit.
In the visual, there is a sequence at the beginning of the "subject" video that works at a metaphorical and explanatory level.As out of the after an after, the members of rare fish, Lucio ConsolYour facade.In the sound, the first dogma cut, his fourth album, is conditioned with the image: a riff executed along with a misty synthesizer and a crystalline guitar are the entrance door to a pagan and synthetic party that takes placein a time that is not the present.
The electronic music that appeared in part of a bad dream (2016) and planted flag in anesthesia (2018) is still present in rare fish, only now does not pushing things automatic towards the track (although in the video some dancers mix aNü-rave look with breakdance steps).In exact two and a half minutes, the duo of La Plata moves between whispers for a content and versatile ritual capable of citing verses of "La Farolera" before talking about kisses in the war.
Michelle Zauner specializes in translating pain languages from his book Crying in H-Mart to his third (and best) album with Japanese Breakfast, Jubilee.In "Be Sweet" she joins Jack Tatum by Wild Nothing to make an eighties and very spectacular synth-pop trip, The Cure or Duran Duran style.Zauner expresses her frustration with a couple who disappointed her, mocking: "So eat your woman (eat and get your woman) / pacify her rage (pacify her rage)" - "came to look for your wife / pacify herRage" -.But at the most stormy moment of her, her voice transmits the certainty that forgiveness will bring peace.
Tiago Pzk and Thunder have a common nucleus: when they were heard battle they seemed to be building a real -time hit.Tiago for his melodic and thunder capacity for his contagious flow.In "We go out at night", however, instead of going for a boom bap that could be comfortable to the mouth or a trap for the deployment of the born in Monte Grande, they find in the reggaeton beat courtesy of Tatool and Big Onea common terrain."Salimo de Noche" has everything that gender demands: geographical references, mentions to 2pac, crossed shoutouts and invitations to bears.
In this hymn of his brand new album 30, Adele is inspired by the blessed sweetness of the classic gospel, like so many great soul singers before her."I Drink Wine" is her autobiographical testimony of her six minutes of her, in which she tells her love pains, and confesses: "We fell in love with the world / but the world wants to throw us down."She later wonders why she continues to strive so much to be another person, despite the fact that the rest of us would only want to be as great as Adele.And she has revealed that she has a 15 -minute recording outlet, so prepare for the inevitable "I Drink Wine" in XXL version.
In most cases, publishing a rock song would be normative.For someone like Ca7riel, so related to a young genre like the trap, betting on Boomer sounds is a decidedly anti -commercial movement."Bad Bitch", the second track of El disko, concludes the unmarking of the trap that Cato has been transiting from his show exhausted in works.Citing a bass of Stevie Wonder, this song in the key to life is closer to the IKV generation than to the Nashe."I am not for you, not/ too much nasty/ none of this is free/ baby, I’m a bad bitch," Ca7riel rebels.That the rockers either are embodied.
With the participation of Nicolás Reyes and Tonino Baliardo by Gipsy Kings, C. Tangana had one of the high points of El Madrid in this flamenco song that respects tradition, but deconstructs it.While unrequited love is a usual theme in genre and in all popular music, the song disrupts the virility of flamenco.He shows himself as a loser who sorry because an autonomous woman does not "want to" love him.The lyrics say in a moment "not a gun to be able to govern you", which raised controversy, but still managed to make the theme of the most sung and remembered of the album.A. C.
Undoubtedly, it was one of the great national hits of the year.It remained as the most listened to in Spotify Argentina in 2021: at the close of this edition, it carried 287 million views.On YouTube it reached a similar number.The formula of this song includes two women who take care of their desire to play for a while, a reggaeton rhythm impossible to be erased from the mind in the following hours (maybe days), and the novelty of seeing Tini feel comfortable forFirst time in the urban genre.She does not sing to love, or to the disagreement, and yet she breaks her with the help of Becerra, that everything she touches makes him a hit.Ayelén Cisneros
The reggaeton samples were the fuel of airplanes that allowed pop in Spanish to reach world prominence in the last decade.But the "All of you" battery is flat and square.The track also opens with a cheerful synthesizer, which would not be out of place in an antrum of 80's night. This is Nu-New-Wave, an unusual sound in the current Latin mainstream, but that unexpectedly became aGreat world hit."For Anglopartlantes it is just a pop album," he told Rolling Stone Álvaro Díaz, one of Alejandro's collaborators."But, among Latinos, nobody in the genre is doing something similar to the success he is having."
Greetings to the new shock-rock!If Alice Cooper beheaded himself on stage and Gwar sprayed the public with his body fluids, everything that Lil Nas X had to do (a young, black and gay musical talent from Georgia) to lift the eyebrows on the rightEvangelical was an erotic dance dedicated to Satan in the "Montero" video clip.The great video was transgressive and revolutionary enough to irritate Nike (who officially separated from the Satan Shoes of her).Lil Nas X put the strawberry to the dessert with a weird and catchy enough to rival his historical hit, "Old Town Road": a really shocking feat.K. G.
Once again, as had happened in “Kangaroo” of Caravan, his first album, in the metal rapArgentina.The track is loaded with fury, rebellion and irony, and in mid -2021, a few months before several cases of police brutality and easy trigThey mistreat/ how the data axis changes/ When the one who says it protects you is the same one that kills you/ the one that executes you as a rat, heretic antiplaca. ”
As a kind of continuity of his great last album (debatable, edited in 2018), the first advance of his next work finds Babasónicos where they had left him.As scathing as catchy and in a psychedelia-pop plan, the romantic song the night essence, beyond its "artificial taste.""The night is an imaginary portal/ where the permits that are given by day or fart are given/ where more is and everything is paid," says Dárgelos about a Beat depends.Its live premiere, last December, already places it next to "the question" as one of the most anticipated moments of the show of a band that, thirty years after its debut, does not stop updating.
Bruno Mars y Anderson .Paak unen fuerzas en este paseo casi perfecto por el clásico R&B de Soul Train de los setenta. “Leave the Door Open” no suena retro porque es una canción ideal para 2021, una balada romántica perfecta para la (muy imperfecta) primavera postpandemia. Estos dos obsesivos del trabajo fino en el estudio de grabación aciertan en todos los detalles técnicos. Pero Mars y .Paak trabajan más duro todavía para proveernos del estado de ánimo adecuado. “Leave the Door Open” es puro romance: cada frase de la batería es una ráfaga de feromonas. Prácticamente podés ver la botella de coñac en la mesita de noche, debajo de las pinturas de terciopelo y la lámpara estroboscópica. R.S.
For someone who made the hermeticism of his private life an insurmountable barrier - and since his health took public status - a song like "Meeting with an amateur angel" is emerging as a necessary downturn. "I start at the end, I will end in the beginning," Apon Solari inton I can't fulfill feats that I promised, just keep singing, ”outline in the chorus). Its premiere was also unfolded as a cataract of meanings: in a show that air conditioners filmed in Epecuén, the presence of the Indian resulted in a remote spectral appearance, as a Jedi teacher reporting to light years away. Among the vestiges of a city that was razed by water, verses like "I just need to know the date and place, and there I will sing" they charge the heaviness of those sweet pains. J. V.
In life, Palo Pandolfo enjoyed the launch and the subsequent impact that obtained the second advance of his new album.She was happy because she had a hit made with the same melodic tools of "Chinese tea cups", "Dark beaches" or "Bi Bap um Dera", round songs of instant adhesion.To seal the epiphany of "Your Love", Palo invited Santiago Motorized (he killed) to share the choral dialogue that functions as an axis and motor of the subject.Within an acoustic album, "Your love" is the only servant song that includes electric guitars.Recorded in the study of the elephants under the supervision of Juan Belvis, the subject was born as an echo to the naturalistic psychedelia of Tanguito.As a fatal omen a few days before the sad outcome, the federal singer explained "your love" as "a transmigration, a change of state of the soul": "It represents the death of something and the Renaissance, a trip to another stage."
We only had to endure seven days last year without “Drivers License”: on January 8 Olivia Rodrigo arrived as a teenage kite, the most powerful star that has left the Disney channel from Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century.We instantly knew that the song was going to be a candidate for the list, but we didn't know how long we were going to have her in the head.In this ballad, Rodrigo dissects in detail how bad he feels when taking his driving license after his heart breaks him, and makes the public identify with the anguish of a 17 -year -old girl instantly and regardless of theage.When she mentions "Becky the beautiful hair" ("You are probably with that blonde / that she always made me feel insecure"), you put yourself on her side.
Perhaps the status of Hit of the BZRP Music Session #38 with L-GrantI am ”for 2021. But the most tangible data is in the 230 million plays that the track has at the close of this edition on YouTube, the most watched this year on the Bizarrap channel, surpassing videos with Latin figures like NickyJam and Anuel AA.
With bizarrap in production, the subject is right from the beginning.The keyboard to the Pablito Lescano crosses several generations and quickly puts the dance is in cruise speed with the Cadencia RKT, culture 420 and the spirit of the clandestine parties and the megamix lowers from the Internet to listen in the previous ones from the beginning of the last decade.
It lasts just over three minutes, however, L-Grant makes it look endless between demolish and catchy lines such as "and start to the touch, Roque", a sense of belonging and such a precise and explicit description about how it can be one day in anyone in anyoneof the peripheral neighborhoods of the big cities as it was not heard from the rise of the cumbia Villera in the first years of this century.As at that time, the scope of success was huge and transversal, but obviously now it became much faster: after this subject, it was viral for his alphabet song, he came to meet with President Alberto Fernández and ended the year in theMarcelo Tinelli program jury.A popular phenomenon pushed more by the inexhaustible charism of Elián Ángel Valenzuela than by algorithms.
