Review: Based in London, UK, but originally hailing from Argentina, Malena Zavala is nothing if not disinterested in picking a style and sticking with it. Following on from her 2018 debut album, 'Aliso', 'La Yarara' again sees her combining some bold and often disparate genres, and playing with language - Spanish and English - to dazzling effect. The result being a record that's devastatingly effective and equally original. 'What If I' is a positive, upbeat and hypnotic pop lullaby. 'Compay' is saturated in a bluesy atmosphere, melding this with downtempo electronica. 'I'm Leaving Home' is a lackadaisical, whispered slice of reflective chill out. The title track is South American exoticism, canned and then opened on record. A huge talent diving deeper into sonic possibilities, and following what sounds good rather than familiar.
Review: Zayn's album Room Under the Stairs promises a deeply personal journey, reflecting his growth and introspection over the past six years. The soulful single 'What I Am' sets the tone for an album characterised by raw honesty and vulnerability. Collaborating with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb adds depth to Zayn's exploration of live instrumentation and poetic lyricism. His stripped-back approach aims for an intimate connection with listeners. With teasers on popular shows like The Tonight Show and Hot Ones, anticipation for Zayn's most personal work to date is palpable. Room Under the Stairs is poised to be a standout moment in his discography. Expect this to be very popular album.
