The first approach between artist and public (with the first single, with the first concert) will always be defining. I want to start there. I came to Liana by chance. Instagram's algorithm showed me the video of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gem<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I immediately accessed his profile and consumed all the content. When the EP came out, I was already listening to it. The first impression I got from Liana was a feeling of naturalness and closeness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EP is called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I get home<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a clear allusion to that solitary routine we all have at the end of the day, full of feelings, ideas and emotions that converge in an internal dialogue where there is no room for outside voices. Liana decides to make herself known to her public with nothing less than her intimacy. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">thumbs up<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seen from a very general prism, his music is realized in the fusion of alternative genres. The sound line of the album reveals an inclination towards the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feeling<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cuban from the 60's and mixed with 90's R&amp;B complemented with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drill,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> touches of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">afrobeat jazz<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">indie pop.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lyrical discourse of the album is written by the singer herself. The youthful freshness can be felt in the music and is reinforced in the lyrics. The songs are dominated by a colloquial language typical of her generation, which uses without complexes and in a natural way her own and borrowed terms (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flow<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">silver, silver, molar, plate, among others). There is no censorship or prudence in Liana's singing, because the album, let's remember, is a private monologue through which we get to know and connect with the artist, a little bit as a way of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">voyeurs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So we discover that Liana Milan\u00e9s is an \"alternative\" girl because she is a child of globalization, but she is also Creole, and feels a strong connection with her roots, her ethnicity and her nationality. She uses these elements as banners and uses them to empower not only herself, but women in general, so the album emits a strong feminist vibe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"youtube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q_1cXsaIQE0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A more detailed analysis of the themes confirms the cohesion that exists between them<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Fans Club<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> - <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alone<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (entering the house), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alone - La Gema<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (undressing), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ancestors - Angel <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(thinking about life).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the very beginning, the album consciously appeals to your auditory senses while it is suggestive for you to listen to the rest. So it is with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fans Club,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a sample of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hip hop<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with which Liana's lyricism is very well coupled, accompanied by a bass of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drill<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The song is an invitation to which, as she herself says, you will be able to put zero resistance while she captivates you and you start dancing in her Fans Club.  It is followed by <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alone<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">change of aesthetics. She closes the curtain when she gets home, says the verse, and everything becomes clear. We begin to connect with a more intimate, more real, more human Liana. And although the lyrics and the singer's voice may seem sad, the melody does not. The theme is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chill<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the rhythmic incites you to slow movement. I ask for a moment to highlight the lapse that goes from minute 01:04 to 01:26 where the voice of the artist takes center stage with a very well achieved melodic construction.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"youtube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oa1-3o2JAJY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another notable offering on the album is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ancestros<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The opening is a dialogue between the double bass and the piano. This is followed for the rest of the song by a rhythmic base of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trip-hop<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on which runs a reflective song about the artist's roots. For the construction of this <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rap<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the author invites El Individuo, an artist versed not only in the genre, but with an articulate discourse that reveres the roots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This first EP by Liana Milan\u00e9s is an excellent start in her short individual career. Although she has only released, for the moment, a few collaborations and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">singles<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The artist has the academic experience of having been trained at the Amadeo Roldan Conservatory and the practice of her vocal leadership in the groups Son Jazz and Sello Cubano, in addition to her three years in the Caribe Girls orchestra. The album bears the stamp of her image as a reference for many Cuban women who find in her a model of energy, femininity and empowerment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"youtube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dtD-nLsVIyE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is a weak point in the EP, it is the eclecticism of the compositions (in whose creation Liana herself and JD Asere were involved as producer, accompanied in some songs by other artists such as Yoyi Lagarza and Tob\u00edas Alfonso). In such a complete product as this album is, I am disappointed that the message is sometimes lost at the expense of musical excesses, as it happens on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gem<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. From my point of view, the message of this theme (which deserved special attention) loses preponderance before the baroque style generated by the fusion of the synthesizers, which produces a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ostinato <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and the bass of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drill<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I get home <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">had the executive direction of the singer herself along with Beatriz Primelles, the artist's manager, and Lizandra G\u00f3mez. I want to insist once again that the great coherence we find throughout the album is its greatest merit, and I suspect it is because we see the hand of Liana Milan\u00e9s in every process. Her work could not be more faithful to her, nor the fans she has attracted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This EP is a clear allusion to that solitary routine we all have at the end of the day, full of feelings, ideas and emotions that converge in an internal dialogue where there is no room for outside voices.
