PAPA TOPO "Emasculación, La Solución" Single Digital

“Emasculación, La Solución” is the fourth and final advance single from PAPA TOPO’s second album, “Presto y con Toda la Fuerza”. Since the release of “Ópalo Negro” in 2016, Adrià has finished studying composition at the Taller de Músics in Barcelona, where he acquired the necessary technical knowledge about orchestration to be able to write the elegant and complex string and wind arrangements that he had been dreaming of since PAPA TOPO first started. This imminent new album is definitely their most ambitious and complex work to date. Despite staying true to their exaggerated, melodic, catchy pop, the group is releasing an existentialist album, full of loneliness, unease, and rage that comes from contemporary society.

“Emasculación, La Solución” is powerful, sharp and hilarious. The song takes on the topic that cuts through the whole new album: hegemonic masculinity as the origin of all the world’s evil. To the beat of a fast-paced, rave-like Spanish pasodoble, and full of the irony of Álvaro Retana’s cuplés, the song cries out against manhood and encourages all its victims to fight against it. The lyrics explain that, historically, men have defended the impenetrability of their anus as a symbol of pure virility, which turns reclaiming anal penetration into, in some way, reclaiming the symbolic elimination of the masculine – emasculation.
