A month ago the Pixies released their latest album, in case you didn’t remember. The comparisons are odious and about 10 years ago Kim Deal left them, so she is usually cited more for her work in The Breeders, ultimately an influence on people like Olivia Rodrigo. We say it and the press release from his label, 4AD, says it.
However, it is inevitable to emphasize the surprise that has been the title track of his new solo album, ‘Nobody Loves You More’, an album that he has been preparing intermittently for a decade. ‘Nobody Loves You More’ is the Song of the Day for this Tuesday.
Kim Deal has written a very simple text, of dedication to someone to whom we want to tell how much we love him. It could be a child or a person we want, it is certain that there are only eyes for her: “I don’t know where I am, and I don’t care / One look at you and I forget why I am here.”
The best are the arrangements. In the video, also very simple but very attractive, the instruments manage to appear highlighted even without appearing. Kim Deal comes out playing the electric guitar on this song that she produced herself, in the middle of nowhere. Only ocean surrounds it…
…And when the more expansive orchestral arrangements enter, which have already received comparisons with John Barry or Dusty Springfield -although we must talk about her Latin inclination, between Brazil and Mexico-, she drops the guitar only to pick it up later. A beauty about which the best that can be said is that it can inspire the adult works of today’s young artists in the future.
