His first two albums, Bishoune: Alma del Huila and | | Jardin cemented his status as a neo-soul and R&B artist unafraid to | | incorporate lifelong musical influences like cumbia, hip-hop, and | | French classical music into his compositions. | | | | These influences made for a cinematic sound all his own, a vehicle | | for Garzon-Montano to put the vulnerable tenderness of his voice and | | his lyrics on display. His latest record, Aguita, reveals a new, | | playful, and experimental side to Garzon-Montano; where seemingly | | dissonant classical piano melodies and strings pave the way for Latin | | trap and reggaeton-flavored bangers meant to ignite the dancefloor. | | In an album where stark sonic contrasts reign at every turn, it is | | Garzon-Montano's soulful approach that makes this album a must | | listen. | | | | The album opens with "Tombs," a track featuring an ominous piano and | | a tinkering marimba underscoring Garzon-Montano's nostalgic, raspy | | croon. A song about mourning the death of a relationship, "Tombs" | | evolves into a composition with violins and strings in crescendo, and | | a wailing electric guitar-indicative of the turmoil that | | Garzon-Montano wants us to experience. | | | | The discordant, classical strings and pianos run throughout the | | record, creating a breathlessly beautiful rollercoaster of emotions | | where Garzon-Montano explores feelings of loss, grief, and the | | endings of nature's cycles. Aguita's wildcards come in the form of | | "Muneca," "Mira My Look," and the title track "Aguita." These three | | songs have Garzon-Montano entering Latin trap and reggaeton | | territory, and abandoning his soulful notes for rough, staccato | | rhyming. Performing in Spanish for the first time on record, | | Garzon-Montano takes us out of the melancholic fantasy world he | | created for Aguita, and thrusts us back into the disorienting urban | | landscapes some of us call home. | | | | | | A Brooklyn-born and raised child of immigrant parents, Gabriel's | | aesthetic is an extension of his French-Colombian heritage. His | | influence is a pastiche of Bach sonatas, Cumbia records, and the | | machine gun funk that echoes up and down Nostrand Ave. His mother, a | | member of the Philip Glass ensemble in the 1990s, instilled within | | him a painstaking attention to detail that remains a hallmark of his | | process. "She is the reason that I love music," he says. Her rigorous | | classical instruction formed the foundation on which he honed his | | skills over the years in the lab, copping Stevie's changes, studying | | Prince's lyrics, and absorbing the beat theses of Timbaland, Dilla, | | and Pete Rock. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2020-=----------------------/__\--'
