Azuloja is a singer, choreographer and dancer who mixes influences of pop, hip-hop and trap with Found Sound samples and a comic point in letters and interpretation. Not surprisingly, his debut album appropriates the term ‘cringe’ because many are the moments of this album in which Madrid’s Hajar Kaddouri Boudib disinhibits himself emotionally and musically.
There is the titular track, which part of the epic symphony of ‘Long live life’ to become an performance of Cheerleader coming from nothing. Or ‘Bigfoot’, which on a trap base pours all kinds of sounds and effects. Or ‘horny’, which is not the typical guitar ballad. At all.
‘Cringe’ gives the promise ‘Caníbal’ or Drum N ‘Bass of’ Pivonacci ‘, but in all cases it exhibits creativity outside the norm, almost outsider. Azuloja collaborates, significantly, with producer Roy Borland, and the 14 songs of ‘Cringe’ deposit all the sound majeeries that may have occurred to them, and beyond.
Roy Borland and Azulja have already worked together in ‘Mun’, an interesting single edited by Sony Music. Although their relationship comes from behind: both are part of the El Royale studio with Yero G and Teo Planell, who has directed the ‘Bigfoot’ video clip, today’s song.
‘Bigfoot’ is a crazy whisper, Americanism (“eat here and touch my body”, “i’m getting reality naughty”, “you bitch”), manipulated voices to the unrecognizable and flute effects that arrives at His high point when Azuloja converts the song suddenly into his own fitness class. The video clip, of course, is equally imaginative.
Azuloja presents ‘Cringe’ soon in Madrid, as a Mainline Magic Orchestra opening in the Copernicus room. It is February 14.
