Babi is one of the key artists of pop music made in Spain in the streaming era, at least since 2019, although its name became popular mainly during the pandemic and after it. Babi’s songs, such as ‘Return it to me’, ‘unconditional’ or ‘You screwed it’, have connected to the public and accumulate tens and tens of millions of reproductions on platforms. All this without Babi having ever depended on any public image: he practically does not grant interviews and, today, has not offered a single concert.
It is public that Babi is actually called Barbara Guillén Cantarero and that it is originally from Madrid. Also that he works hand in hand with Guille Mostaza and that he has become part of Sony Music, at some point in his career.
Babi’s music has solved to join a rested R&B style and stuck to darkness, serving as a perfect deposit for its precious and expressive voice and for its vulnerable letters on relationships and mental health. In ‘Sutura’, Babi lodges a different sound, a “sad funk”, as his producer, J-Dê, announces in the first seconds of the song.
‘Suture’ -cion of the day for Friday- shines thanks to its hypnotic melody and its warm production. It is 100% Babi in every way, the composition and also the lyric. In ‘Sutura’, Babi delivers a torn and sincere story, but also empowered at some point. He lives with a “horse depression” and with a “galloping anxiety,” but also presumes “a couple of crowding ovaries.”
They are the ones to have when you live “crossed by bitterness” or when you face continuously – as she implies in the lyrics- to hospital reality (“they put the pipe on my forehead”, “I do not look out that I know that I know that enter me »), a reality that makes Babi feel” dead in life “, as” rocked “by death.” Love, in this case, is preferred far. “I move away from you / because I don’t know how to want / just like I don’t drink / because I don’t know how to drink,” Rima the Madrid.
