If you ask Curro what he wants to talk about, the young artist conveys his enthusiasm by turning to Cádiz and flamenco. Above all because he does not consider himself part of the movement, although he knows how to give a couple of lessons about it, remembering that this genre is cooked in the street, not in the tablaos; or that “doing everything for rumbas or fandangos” does not make you flamenco.
‘God will say, God will provide’, published on such a strange date for a debut in Spanish as November 28, was not conceived, therefore, as a neo-flamenco album. There are claps and winks, and above all a certain elf, but it is not a typical pop album either. Now, it has just been completed on platforms, with bonuses like ‘Ojos que no ven’, which is delivered to a sax solo in its final section.
What came closest to a pop song on the album was ‘A toro Pasao’, present on our list of Best Songs of 2025. But we must also highlight the rhythmic ‘Que x bien no vende’ or the jazz or oriental textures of ‘I left it for tomorrow’, which contains a nice reflection on mental health: “I want to enjoy, laugh with myself / tell others to fuck off / and stay calm if I haven’t done something wrong / and I have no witnesses, finally enter peace of mind.
The quality of our Song of the Day today confirms that Curro had not needed the features of similar or close artists, such as Queralt Lahoz or a couple of members of the Morente family, who appear on his album.
I’m not going to make a joke about whether Estrella Morente is heard more in ‘No Sea’ or the concession to English in the lyrics, because I’m not going to come out well from making firewood from the fallen tree. I’ll just say that, whatever the streams say, the best thing about this album is Curro.
