SOTW1224 José Madero "Hablemos del Campo"

This week the song of the week is in Spanish and you'll have to deal with it. Yeah, yeah, I know. This blog is mostly written in English and that's by design —it's originally meant to help me improve my writing, thinking and orthography— but, hey, Spanish is my mother tongue. Either way, this is my blog, so write one yourself if you'd like to read something else —but share it with me because I'd like to read it.

Anyways! I think that this week's song being in Spanish is the least of the problems. Waaay more controversial is the artist selection. If you know something about rock music from Mexico, you surely have heard about Pxndx: the most loved and hated band of all time. Well, José Madero used to be their frontman, singer, guitarist, composer of most lyrics and melodies and also the face of the band. That is to say, he must be the most loved and hated Mexican musician ever.

I loved Pxndx, so I love Pepe as well, and while I can understand it's not for everyone, I love his music. And his latest release is a two song preview of what's to come from his new purple album —the guy has been releasing color coded albums since he started his solo career— for which we still don't know the name. For me, "Hablemos del Campo" has this je ne sais quoi that engraved it into my brain and has not left since release. I of course recommend listening both songs —and his complete discography, for that matter— and picking your favorite.

I honestly hope you like it. And you don't, I get it, too. You surely love Radiohead.

Oh, also, this is the first post written completely from an iPad. You can take Pam and Emma for that. Love you! 💛

Until the next one.
