The article highlights Madrid's emerging pop artist AMORE, who blends genres such as flamenco, hip-hop, and Latin folk. Her debut album, 'Top Hits, Ballads, etc...', is described as a compilation-like work that juxtaposes various musical elements, from ethereal indie rock to traditional Spanish folk. The short film accompanying the album features a silent disco with women, underscoring the artistic experience. Lyrically, the album explores queer themes, particularly a breakup, through layered production and intricate soundscapes that challenge conventional pop territory.
AMORE, aka Murcia's 25-year-old MarÃa Moreno Martinez, creates genre-blending music that merges flamenco, hip-hop, and Latin folk, offering a unique artistic experience.
Top Hits, Ballads, etc... reads more like a compilation than a debut, with tracks like 'Last Maria on Earth' and 'QueriÌo' showcasing contrasting musical styles.
MartÃnez's 'I Gotta Feeling' aspires to be a mainstream hit, yet it settles into a lighter, pixelated soundscape that includes flutes and taffy-pulled basslines.
Much of Top Hits chronicles a queer breakup, with tracks like 'Amiga' expressing emotions and themes of care and loss through glitching guitar balladry.
