New single by Sexenni “Per la borda”

Sexenni, after experiencing a brilliant rise last year as a result of their first album ‘Retrats’, which contains hits like ‘Sarrià Boy’ or ‘De Lao’, the band from Lleida have already made some preview of what will be their next album. They recently presented ‘Houston’, a song that has already become the official song of the Volta Ciclista in Catalonia this 2023. Also, ‘Klk quieren las chicas’, a song with “disco” rhythms and indie sound where the locals ironize about the heavy ones that eat your ear all night long. A theme that has already become a success in record time! And just before introducing us to the summer hit, they released ‘Bora bora’, a single where the group goes on a trip to a paradisiacal atmosphere to the rhythm of cumbia with urban sounds.

Now yes, the anthem for this summer finally arrives! Sexenni presents us with ‘Per la borda’, the fourth single from their second LP that will be released next September. In this song, with “disco” rhythms and a festive sound, the people of Lleida welcome summer and disconnect from everything. The song tells the story of someone drowned by routine, caged at work, in the networks and in digital pressure, who decides to leave everything behind and start prioritizing all that really matters: love, good times, fun. … The lyrics combine a poetic and metaphorical register with references to popular culture, all while maintaining the satirical and casual tone that characterizes the group so much.

Thus, Sexenni continues with the sound line that he began to draw with his first single ‘Houston’, and they are committed to combining festive sound with wind instruments with synthetic textures typical of the 80s. In the production we have the member of the group Pep Saula and is accompanied by a video clip directed by Alba Muñoz that reaffirms the summer, festive and naval essence of the song!

New single by Alvert “LA TEVA OLOR”

Alvert is a singer who has always been attracted to the artistic world, sensitivity and creation. He has played from urban dance, theater, photography, painting, tattooing… but music has always accompanied him, which has led him to self-publish his first songs on the platforms. Now, he is preparing his revival with the Delirics label after participating in the TV3 Talent Show: Eufòria.

He made a first advance with ‘CREMA CATALANA’, a modern and groundbreaking Catalan reggaeton, which begins to make Alvert emotionally free and express and claim his particular contact with love for another boy.

Now comes ‘LA TEVA OLOR’, a song written a long time ago and that the Catalan artist wanted to rediscover. Who has not experienced a breakup? Who has not experienced the pain of leaving someone behind and that obsession of not being able to move forward? All this is ‘LA TEVA OLOR’, a single that transports you to Alvert’s most vulnerable and broken heart, unlike in ‘CREMA CATALANA’, where empowerment and a carefree attitude were seen and felt. In this new song we see a naked Alvert, vulnerable as ever.

‘LA TEVA OLOR’ is a song to break up and accompany those people who are going through it and need a moment of support and disconnection; a sad song, but at the same time with a powerful sound of electronic techno, very different from what he had done before, but always keeping this urban essence that will accompany him throughout the process of a new album that is yet to come!

New single by Lluc “q fas avui?”

Lluc is a Catalan artist who has already found a sound that sets him apart. He links the urban world with the indie world, both in sound and aesthetics. It is this mixture that gives personality to the artist who, accompanied by Massaviu in production and creative direction, makes songs that range from pop to trap, going through reggaeton and indie.

In ‘Benvolguda Nostàlgia’, his debut album, we found 10 songs steeped in experiences about first love, the idealization of childhood and his aspirations in life. To close this stage, he presented us with ‘Samarreta de ratlles’, a song that came after the end of the album tour and all the experiences that it has brought: thanks, concerts, friends, family, trips and finally, memories.

Now, he is embarking on a new course with songs like ‘i <3 paris’, the first single from Lluc’s new album that will be called ‘peixcru’s shisha lounge’. This theme already reveals a totally new sound with influences from Afro and African rhythms. Lluc gives us a second preview with ‘q fas avui?’. This time, the artist presents us with a bachata, leaving aside the Afro sound of the first single, which predominates throughout the album. Produced by Biel Colomer from Massaviu, the song promises to be a summer anthem, with a powerful and danceable sound!

New EP by xicu “22”

If Xicu’s beginnings were tender enough with the EP ‘sol’ and his first album ‘BLAU’, where he talked about sadness and loneliness, always using love as a point of view, the time has come to destroy himself with a live show! even more powerful!

This 2023, Xicu returns with a new EP accompanied by the Delirics label: ’22’. A work full of powerful collaborations that he had already told us about, such as that of Teuma Thug, of the well-known P.A.W.N GANG and that of Julieta, one of the artists of the moment.

With styles that go through trap, pop, hyperpop and synth pop, comes ’22’, an EP with a much more radical sound compared to all previous works. There are four songs where the energy and power of the bass command 100%. Within this frenzy, you can find small nuances and moments of calm that make the powerful parts gain even more prominence. Just as in previous works they commanded dynamics and minimalism, this work completely breaks with this and sends the infinite repetitions of sections or phrases and the beats in a constant loop.

’22’ also deals with love as the protagonist, from that “perfect” and “idyllic” love, as well as reflections on how all that we cling to can destroy you, and the toxic and obsessive corners that we can reach by “love”.

Don’t miss Xicu’s new introspective project, where if ‘BLAU’ was blue, ’22’ becomes the brightest white and the darkest black at the same time!

New single by Púniks “Llum”

Púniks is a group that was born in Ibiza between two friends to create an art rooted in the Ibizan land, but at the same time make it a contemporary art. It is simply a space to show what it is like to be born, grow up, leave and return to the island, as well as how nostalgia and a special sensitivity for nature have permeated this entire journey. The mixture of cultures, histories and beliefs is a characteristic feature of where we come from and that is what we want to reflect with Púniks. Living on Earth is already an art form in itself and that is why Púniks intends to show it with different styles, points of view, sounds and references when composing.

‘Llum’ is his letter of introduction, a single that explains the brief story of a love that begins with the first can of beer in the club’s parking lot -when the sun goes down- and ends with a slice of bread with oil and glasses of sun in the town bar -when the dawn ends-. With reggaeton rhythms and light synthesizers, Púniks recite an ode to ephemeral and spontaneous love, but one that leaves its mark. Somehow, the group wants to reflect the eternity that is generated between two carefree and uninhibited individuals thanks to the night and the music, where the only focus of one is the other.

New single by New George “MaiMai”

New George is a 26-year-old artist from Barcelona, ​​also a composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer.

New George knows how to mix the cruelty and reality of urban music with pleasant and easy to remember melodies, typical of the pop genre.

This album represents that imaginary island where everything is fine, there are no problems and you go to be at peace. It is the compilation of the best musical pieces that the Maresme artist has created during 2022. Creativity, avant-garde and light. Adjectives that are attributed to him in ten very different songs one from the other.

Now, start spring with a new single full of light and with the smell of sand, water, gasoline and cold beer: ‘MaiMai’! A song that has been cooked over a slow fire, like Grandma’s dishes, and we confirm that it has been worth it. It’s not a generic summer song, as it’s already a house brand, New George doesn’t like conventions. ‘MaiMai’ is a song to life, to jump into the pool, not to say “NEVER” to anything out of fear. An ode to take off the mask of “what will they say” and to be ourselves. To make love, to laugh and to be an idiot.

What do a Supermirafiori, a ball pool, the beach at dawn or a boat strolling through the Maresme have in common? This is the visual “candy” that New George provides us in this new video clip that accompanies ‘MaiMai’. Don’t miss New George, the artist who is equal parts creativity and talent!
