Getting a lot more into Spanish-language music as of recent—from Spain, France, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, and in the case of Esteman, Colombia. This piece, the second off his 2021 album Si Volviera A Nacer, features some beautiful vocals from Mexico's Daniela Spalla, and a melody that is eerily reminiscent (to me, anyway) of Centuries by Fall Out Boy. A very nocturnal song that I've been using as a soundtrack to my nightly drive home from work this past month.

@MARIAMARIA Quick report back that I came across an Elsa y Elmar song in the wild today (amantes y amigos) and it was REALLY good. Thank you for the rec—I'll be sure to give the others a listen as well!

Shakira’s songs in spanish. My personal believe is that sometimes she dumbs down the lyrics for english listeners.

Life didn't pull any punches in the first six months of 2024. After much verbal abuse at my dead-end office job, I quit and fled to Mexico, where I dated a guy who turned out to be cheating on his girlfriend with me. Back home, I was unable to find another job despite my loaded resume.
I listened to Morat a lot in those days, letting the Spanish lyrics transport me back to carefree moments in Latin America. Simplemente Pasan got me through the worst of it, kept me from being to harsh on myself when I couldn't make good things happen for myself. Because when good things are supposed to happen, they'll simply happen.

Callie Nixon's debut album as flatroom is all it's cracked up to be and more. Not just content to be behind the boards as a talented producer with roots in the fledgling Dariacore scene, she's also an immensely affecting composer and singer-songwriter with influences from noughties-era country and folk. On I Don't Even Need, these two influences combine like headstrong bucks, relaxed and warm acoustic guitar-driven folk giving way to a rushing, soaring burst of happy hardcore arpeggios and energy. It's hands down the best song on the album, and it's really fighting for that spot between the album version of Blood sugar and the cover of When the Stars Go Blue.

Now here's a sound I wasn't expecting to hear again this year—that golden-era of pop-EDM crossover via Ke$ha and Taio Cruz. And, again, twisting the recipe harder, the song is advocating hard for pirating all your games and software—which somehow has double relevancy this week given I keep seeing posts on Twitter and Tumblr about somebody ironically named PirateSoftware shooting down campaigns to make piracy legal because it inconvenienced him. I wonder what that's about...
So, yes. Pop-EDM that's aping Dynamite pretty heavily while being nothing like it. More than any song she's made this decade so far, this one feels like it's having the most pure and distilled fun—something I'm aware is chalked up to my own nostalgia. It's very good music, anyway.

From English math rock band Delta Sleep's 2018 full-length Ghost City comes a hell of an opening track, Sultans of Ping. The build-up is insane; emotionally evocative to a perfect T, a simple lyrical structure that keeps you hooked for its memorability, and the way its build seems to skitter off, filling in the extra details slowly and erratically like an oscilloscope drawing before blasting off. Devin Yüceil's voice is at a sweet low point that feels like an anchor in the ocean as it gets slowly buried under the layers of multi-tracking and instruments. It's worth every minute you give it, and sitting at just under five? That would be considered a steal if time was money.
