Album review
Mabe Fratti has announced a new album, Sentir Que No Sabes. The follow-up to 2022’s Se Ve Desde Aquí is slated for release on June 28 via Unheard of Hope. Today, Fratti has shared two songs from it, ‘Kravitz’ and ‘Pantalla Azul’. Take a listen below.
Speaking about ‘Kravitz’, Fratti said in a statement: “It’s a song about the sensation of not knowing where the opinions come from and the chicken or egg question: do they come from outside? Do they come from inside? Also, who wants to listen to these opinions? Who actually listens to them?”
Of ‘Pantalla Azul’, she added: “This one was born out of me getting a Whammy and playing around with it. I came up with the riff and a melody that was inspired by ‘autotuned’ effects. Héctor [Tosta – her partner, multi-instrumentalist, and co-composer] pushed the track forward by creating the quantic jump towards the polyrhythmic section that transforms the song,” Fratti says. “The lyrics make a reference to the ‘stop’ blue on the screen on VHS or the blue screen of a PC when it breaks. Also to an appreciation to what’s unknown and mysterious, and being at peace with the shadow and the complexity of things.”
Last year, Fratti and Tosta collaborated on Vidrio, their debut album under the name Titanic. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Mabe Fratti.
