Artist: Daniela Lalita
Song: Tenía Razón
This bold debut single comes from Daniela Lalita, a versatile artist whose practice spans music, costume design, film, performance and fine art. She explains the movement-based video which she directed and choreographed: “This music video is a form of self-exploration about one’s relationship with past and future selves with the intention of trying to love and understand oneself, in all its multiplicity, regardless of how at times that can manifest itself as constant, antagonistic… almost monstrous voices that try to destroy one’s sense of self. So many of these inner battles and emotions are almost impossible to explain so I hope to connect with others who might be experiencing similar emotions.”

Artist: Antonio Sanchez feat. Kimbra
Song: Suspended Animation
Album: Shift (Bad Hombre Vol. II)
4x Grammy Award-winning drummer Antonio Sánchez has teamed up with Kimbra to create something expressively rhythmic, simultaneously dramatic and fragile. Kimbra explains: “Suspended Animation is a song I wrote around the start of the pandemic. It’s about the danger of falling in love. It’s almost like a kind of annihilation. You have to let go of everything and fall into the unknown knowing fully well that you may not come out from it the same. I wanted the song to convey that dark mystery of infatuation.” It will be on Antonio Sanchez’s upcoming album, out on August 26!
