After surprising strangers and loved ones alike with their first release, the 10” Maxi-Single, “El verano que me debes”, PIPIOLAS, or in other words, Paula Reyes and Adriana Ubani, give us an advance from a debut LP full of surprises and expectations. Expectations because Adriana and Paula’s profiles are not the norm in the indie pop world: they are trained, dedicated artists, with backgrounds in various fields and who pour all their creativity into this joint project. And “Romancero Propio”, the advance single, makes this all very clear.

 

With classic evocations (the cover, a work of art from the designer Laurel Cala, is inspired by “Romancero Gitano”), they take their music to the next level, with the tension of M83, the rhythmic power of THE WEEKND or DAFT PUNK, and the lyricism of Björk, with a touch of VAINICA DOBLE in the lyrics and evocations of Jeanette that give them that exceptional aura, that sensation that they are breaking new ground that nobody has dared touch until now. Injecting readings and spoken word between a chorus that overflows with multicolor pop lets them build a fable about a fight with oneself, as they explain so perfectly: "Romancero Propio” isn’t a romance with rhyming verses, but with oneself. The story of dependence on antidepressants and anxiety meds to be able to try to have a love story of one’s own that never comes to be. When being human hurts too much and you can’t be anything else. And, that’s all there is.

 

For all this greatness, we have a video to match, directed by Serjiososo (who has also directed music videos for the likes of AXOLOTES MEXICANOS, COLECTIVO DA SILVA, EL BUEN HIJO, LA PALOMA and DEPRESIÓN SONORA), where we see two differentiated parts: the first full of references to cinematographic language, and the second, starting with the explosion of the song, full of dreaminess and color. It’s incredible. PIPIOLAS have already given us so much, and so much more is coming.
