About the song itself, there's probably not too much to add, plenty had already been said about Fakuta’s ability to arm and disarm the song’s structure while singing about it when it was featured last year, she just seems to have stripped it down to its core elements this time. But when listened conjointly with the video, Fakuta seems to engage a lot more in the purpose of portraying the fate of the recurring tale of teenage betrayal and disbelief, allowing us to appreciate her music through a dramatic lens rather than a study of musical form. And of course, her always captivating Kate Bush-like vocal melodies manage to accentuate her qualities as a restrained story-teller.
The "Armar y Desarmar" single will be available for free download via MICHITA REX later today, featuring great remixes from Augias Amena, Ulises Hadjis, among others.
Fakuta!
ReplyDeleteSi lees esto, quiero que sepas que tu #1 fan vive en AGUASCALIENTES, MEXICO
osea yo! me encanta todo, "Armar y Desarmar", "Las Partes" tus voces en "Estado de Vista" etc. TODO!
DAMN. Love this song, and this new version took it even further. Sublime. Love the whole Fakuta & The Laura Palmers! performance, very R&B in a way.
ReplyDeleteCasi siempre estoy de acuerdo con los escritores y sus criticas en el blog....pero en este caso no tengo ni la menor idea de donde sacan la reference a Kate Bush.
ReplyDeleteMientras que la voz de Bush deja residuos emocionales bastante considerables en la mente y es un instrumento histrionico a mas no poder, la voz de Fakuta es simple, destilada (Y eso no es insulto de ningun modo - adoro su delivery).
Espero que no sean tan "elitist" para reconocer que una comparasion mas acertada seria con chavas de la rama del pop como Madonna o Fey, de quien Fakuta CLARAMENTE ha agarrado influencia.
Saludos a todos en el blog!

Very cool outfits.
ReplyDeleteNo hablaba de la voz en sí, sino de las melodías vocales. Dos cosas muy distintas.
