Celia Spellman is at the front of a personal project full of mystery, emotions, and songs like diamonds. And we are announcing the launch of the first advance for what will be NENA’s first Digital EP for Elefant Records, as part of our “New Adventures In Pop” collection – a 4-song EP that will be revealed and savored piece by piece. “Fuckboys” is a disenchantment with the night reflected in a song that goes from europop to chiptune, that shares certain similarities with PUTOCHINOMARICÓN in that need to separate from conformity and classification (maybe that’s why her real identity is a secret). Crackling bases and frequencies stretched out over pop melodies that build an immediate hit. And for the occasion, we have a music video directed together with Yana Zafiro (who she collaborated with on her first album) and DETROIT, produced by the very new production company Polígono (which was created by these three restless minds along with Luis Bastida), in what is one of their trademarks: a music video with the finest production, perfectly executed, where we see our protagonist in a plastic room playing the song, intermixed with Apollonian bodies, massive biceps, and digital effects. A tremendous delight.
Biography NENAS NENAS is the salvation project of Celia Spellman, that soul embodied in adolescent pop star obsessed with the creation of new worlds. After forming part of MARTIRIO MARTIRIO along with Chantal Cruel, and of participating in Yana Zafiro’s first full length, with NENAS she is finally taking on a personal project where she tells quotidian stories with a queer personality, and criticizes, acerbically and ferociously, modern society.
With a complex sound that dances between bubblegum pop, hardcore and chiptune, her music is to a certain extent in line with artists like PUTOCHINOMARICÓN, using current sounds to unmask a society that is anxious to classify and define, to construct archetypes and use them to try to make an impossible organization of the human species following parameters people build their personal identities on.
That’s why, when someone asks who Celia Spellman is, the only answer will be the sound of their own echo. Committed to protecting her identity and not revealing it to anyone, she flees from all those conformities, the generalizations and classifications. The only thing left is to give yourself up to the mystery that promises to save us all from the emptiness of existence.
