GAGA´S SOUVENIR

Hope...

THE VOICE OF A MELANCHOLY SIREN

Norah jones brought jazz to pop, Britney refreshed it with chewing gum and perfect choreographies, Lavigne introduced happy punk and reused the guitar with a great sensibility as her mother Alanis made it once; Gaga created a concept with a lifestyle never seen before, Whinehouse reminded us that soul always will move our hearts and Adele confirmed it, declare it and made it immortal.

When I listened and saw Lana del Rey for the first time I had the feeling that a new siren would sing and that she would change things, and, in a certain way, she did it.

Everybody knows that Euro-electro-pop is a secure and multimillionaire trend, but there are still some girls that do what they want, and Lana del Rey has shown that it’s not necessary being sexually active in front of public, using more and more dresses that only Gaga can wear or having “fun and open” lyrics to succed.

Del Rey is an internet phenomenon, and for being her succes so quick, many have doubt about her credibility and see her like any other product of sale just disguised with another skin.

As far as I’m concerned, her clumsy and reserved attitude hypnotized me from the beginning, her gangster look, her deep voice, treble choirs and her lyrics fantastically decadent, which are a perfect reflection of our actual youth: pessimist and negative.

And it came the day to listen “Born to Die” completely, the bet was high and she risked everything on one stake, finally, I end up confused.

Without any doubt, it sounds totally different from what is heard nowadays and goes against the flow of trend on radio. Lyrically, Lana doesn’t leave any loose end, she states very well her pessimism, her extraordinary self-destructive relationships and her resentment because of the lack of love and romanticism in her life. The sound is balanced, is a mix of indie (Bat for Lashes), soul (Duffy) and alternative (Björk), but perfectly edited to be accepted by any ear and not being rejected from the first time.

There are excellent songs: “Born to die”, “Off the raices”, “Dark Paradise”, “Lolita”, “Lucky Ones” and the exceptionally melancholic and depressively romantic, “Video Games”. Nevertheless, I think that the great problem of this record is the lack of edition, it’s here where I realize that adding two or three songs which are not necessary may spoil a record, and that’s what doesn’t make it round, besides the feeling of lack of control and stability from Del Rey.

This album needed to grow up, we can notice that Lana is not yet prepared professionally to fight in the world of music. The seed is there, so it’s the talent, but there is no experience enough, those guts to create a complete concept. “Born to die” was the prefect door to shout out “the indie world rocks!” Gaga and Adele say it: there are no rules! And Lana was the girl who could have said it in a more sophisticated way.

Born to die is like the garment that you see in the store window and looks spectacular but once you wear it you realize is not as perfect as you might thought, but time and blows will give her that maturity that needs, and when that day comes… Oh, she will be great!

MY TOP 5 FAVORITES SINGLES OF 2011

Set fire to the rain: Is the third single of Adele’s super hit “21”

Set fire to the rain is like a railroad with a super engine of soul, at the beginning it goes slow, telling us how the tragedy began, and goes moving forward to accelerate and finally bursts into flames for a lost love.

Adele’s voice leaves no holes in the heart, and the connection that she made with public, particularly with this song, is unique. Adele is real, and the love tragedy that she lived feels close, so inevitably I can’t help watch her cry while the memory of that man is burning with her heart’s tears.

Yoü and I: Gaga decided to release as her fourth single the only ballad of the expected “Born this way”; in this time, Gaga refugees in Nebraska to show that she doesn't just know to talk about sex and fashion, things that constantly haunt her head. This girl knows how to make things, and with very clear tempos of “we will rock you” courtesy of Mercury, all the pure love that she feels for that so special guy for whom she could make her hills bleed.

Is the first single that talks about a sincere love, pure, special and not about artistic visions, minorities defense or points of view about life, is just Gaga’s heart, refugee in a crudely eighties sound that no only pretends shout out the love that exist just between two people. And how not to love her in the video, is Gaga+ Joe Calderon+ thousands of dresses+ Mermaids , everything served in the same plate.

Beat of my drum: I like it when a girl takes serious the pop and to survive she takes refuge in it and reinvent it. This particular song is daring, sexy and sticky but what makes the difference is Roberts’ voice, which makes it sound less commercial and more sophisticated. No doubt about it, Roberts will not be for the masses because, though she is pop, the condiments around it are not particularly the most generic but definitely she has been crowned as Queen, among figures as Roisin Murphy & Robyn, that implicitly, are the girls who show before anyone which will be the next heels to dance.

Her confidence in her aspect has grown, along with the authenticity of her music, and “Beat of my drum” is prove of it.

Smile: It’s always so exciting for me to listen to an album for the first time, but even more when it is about Miss Lavigne, and listening for the first time “Goodbye Lullaby” I hooked from the first moment with “Smile”, and it’s not expected, it’s the most soft rock sound of the album. Smile is almost completely different from all of her singles, in which the complaint and rebellion are the main topics; it talks about those characters that we never know how the hell from one moment to another we just can’t stop thinking about. It’s happy, direct and the guitar chords are what consolidate the “Lavigne” gender, copied by many, but never equaled, because there is just one crown, and it just can be claimed by this girl who in just one song she calls herself a bitch, talks about an alcohol and tattoos night and yet, she can easily talk about love and butterflies in the stomach.

Wish you were here: Generally speaking, always are more the moments when you miss somebody, than those in which in fact you’re with that person. Wish you were here talks about that, is that point somewhere in between the antique sound, and the now more acoustic sound of Avril. No doubt about it is the most honest that I’ve heard her talk about, and it’s impossible to deny it when you listen to her to say:

There´s a girl

who gives a shit

behind this wall

You´ve just walked through it

Avril let her guard down and shows herself vulnerable, her repressed claim is what gives impulse to this ballad, gives it sense and makes it different among the sea of singles that talks about love, why?

Just because it is honest.

That’s why the new sensation in the way she performs. The skater girl has grown up, she feels and suffers the true love that we generally always wish it is around us, all the time.

I decided

THE FIRST

The first girl in my vision
