Apple Music published my “new music” list on 3/20/20. Minus a few big names, most of the artists are unknown to me and I look forward to seeing what I will add to my database and what I will veto with a click of the dislike button.
- Dvicio – Sobrenatural (featuring Farina) : Dvicio is already on my download list and is on my “to review” list. It sounds like a decent track and I can’t want to dive into the album as soon as I get a little extra time.
- Natalia LaFourcade & Los Cojolites – El Balaju / Serenata Huasteca: Like last week, Apple Music has decided that I needed the new music from Natalia LaFourcade. I will have to hit a DISLIKE button because this music does not fall into the Latin pop music category.
- DLD – Angel: At the beginning of the week, we already reviewed DLD’s new album. You can read the review of the full album here.
- Coda & Coy – Drift: This is an electronic band that has nothing to do with Latin pop. It probably was added because the band Coda is a rock band that fits the genre. I downloaded Coda but disliked Coda & Coy.
- Fito Paez – La Conquista Del Espacio: This song had already been downloaded and is actually the next new album up for review. This song is pretty fun and reminds me of a movie soundtrack or something that should be for a stage play.
- Los Angeles Azules – El Angel Que Nos Une: Los Angeles Azules is being recommended to me because I downloaded the album which featured all the duets they recorded with people like Aleks Syntek and Natalia LaFourcade.
- The New Raemon – Dias de Rachas Grises: The New Raemon’s music was given to me by their record label many years back and I have put them on the back burner to make a run for some other reviews. With this new release, I may have to go back and give the band a deeper listen. This song is decent with a good beat. I enjoyed it.
- Verona – Simbolos: Because of this song, the band needs a closer listen. I have been liking that airy atmospheric sound lately and this song has it. Pretty good, I would say. This is not a single, but a song from the band’s newest album released this year. I downloaded the album and put it on my “to review” pile.
- Amatria – Una Ciudad: Pop meets electronic music for Amatria’s song. Reminds me a little like Fangoria. The band has a bunch of singles and a few albums. Added! I will give this band a deeper listen. I really like this track and want to hear more from them.
- Los Invaders – Girls: This band might be a Latin band, but everything on Apple Music is in English. They get vetoed even though the song is pretty good. I have to say that personally I like it and will download it for my personal enjoyment. It just doesn’t fit the blog.
- Maena – La Noche De Mi Vida: I am not a fan of this song but it might be something my wife would like. I am really about the beats, even on a slower track. This song just really had nothing to grab me and make me want to listen more.
- Volovan – Volvieron Mis Ataques: This is the band’s new single. We are a fan of Volovan but this song is a little slow for my taste. I am used to having a harder rock sound from this band. This track seems like they may be going to a new updated style.
- Rubytales – Japon: Not sure who Rubytales is, but I am listening. There is a nice beat to the song. Pop with a bit of a disco vibe going on here. This song is a single but they have quite a few other singles and one album on Apple Music. I can see if there are other tracks I like.
- Celest – Tsumi: The first ballad on this playlist Apple Music suggested. It wasn’t bad but wasn’t great either. The chorus had a decent flow to the music.
- Lunaem – Sombras: On first listen, my wife downloaded this song so I already knew that she enjoyed it well enough to save it. Reminds me a little bit like Mon Laferte. There are a few other singles available. We’ll check them out a little more.
- Pedropiedra – Quinta Costa: At first, I was not a big fan of the singer’s voice, but the chorus took a hold of me. The song has a very familiar sound. It’s like I have heard it somewhere before. I guess this is a good thing. The song is off the band’s album that released this month. I downloaded the album for review.
- Juan Pablo Vega – Criminal (featuring Elsa y Elmar): This song gets a veto pretty quickly. The song has strong reggae beats with Urban accents. Not my jam at all.
- Casster – Viento: This track from this week’s playlist is decent enough for me to download. The upbeat ballad is a fun track. It has a retro feel, almost like a lounge act. I can dig it.
- Andre Ubilla – Juntos Vamos Caminado: At first I didn’t think I would like the track, but honestly it’s not bad. Reminds me a little like a softer Cafe Tacuba. I will give them a listen.
- Conchita – Un Camino Para Volver: My next ballad on the playlist. This feels like an acoustic version with a solo piano for much of the album. Her voice is pleasant, but I am not sure I want to add it to my list. Might wait for something better to come along before adding her.
- Sandra Groove – No Te Va A Gustar: I’m not feeling this at all. The R&B sound makes me feel like I am listening to someone like Beyonce. Her voice sounds like she is reaching for that R&B genre and not Latin pop.
- Chica Sobresalto & Maialen – Oxitocina: Not sure who these people are, but the song is rock with a little funk to it. Kind of cool. Cool enough for me to download the track. Chica Sobresalto’s last album is from 2017 and seemed glancing through it. I added.
- Melanie C – Who I Am: I am a closeted or not so closeted Spice Girl fan. This is why Melanie C (Sporty Spice) is coming up on my playlist.
- Ventino – Vente Conmigo: Ventino is a girl pop girl with urban accents which turns me off because it is not just a little. They seem like they are trying to be the next CNCO. Skip.
- The Fleshtones – Alex Trebeck: Our final track on this playlist. The Fleshtones are not Latin at all. Veto.
Overall, there are quite a few tracks that I added to my library, new artists for listening, and lots of music added to my review pile. See you next week.
In 1983, Siempre En Domingo changed my life. Born and breed GRINGO falls for Latin pop and rock music because of Siempre En Domingo.
Since that day, I have been study Latin pop and rock music and have become a Latin pop music historian through the publishing of articles, fanzine, and websites. My goal is to teach people about Latin pop music and the history behind it with my website, Siempre En Domingo.
