Sello: Elefant
After eight albums, Maria Rodés' talent has been made absolutely clear on numerous occasions. But "Fuimos Los Dos" is a special album, and not just because it's her first solo album with Elefant Records (after that wonder she shared with LA ESTRELLA DE DAVID titled "Contigo"). We are probably looking at her most intimate work, where she combines singer-songwriting, Latin American folklore and sonic experimentation to express her vision of the end of romantic relationships. It is an absolute delight, and her marvelous voice dances between minute, delicate, exquisite arrangements."Fuimos Los Dos" is a bittersweet album. It tells a story that ends during the confinement, where the lockdown is an opportunity to look directly at the faults of a dying relationship: "este silencio lo tendremos que hablar" (we will have to talk about this silence) she sings in one of the songs. The thirteen tracks on the album give that silence a voice, untangling the past and the present, and taking us to other break-ups she hasn't totally gotten over. All the songs were written during confinement, like a diary, all at once and without editing, to not think too much, and to let the time pass. Thanks to this personal challenge that started out as a kind of game - writing a song a day - the singer-songwriter was able to avoid getting caught up in perfectionism and give us the perfect freshness of the original ideas.TRACKLIST01 Recordarte 02 Prefiero No Decir Nada 03 Algo Que Pudo Ser 04 Salgamos Juntos Al Jardín 05 Fuimos Los Dos06 Se Nos Fue La Luz 07 Soltar Las Armas 08 Te Voy A Querer Igual 09 La Verdad 10 Oasis 11 Ay Soledad12 Siempre Es Domingo 13 Madame Bovary
