Natalia Lacunza released this Friday ‘N2STAL5IA’, her second album, which was preceded by the singles ‘Un punishment’ with Jesse Baez, ‘Apego veroz’, ‘Tu culito’ and ‘Singapur’.
The album reveals new gems like ‘Plastilina’ and the focus track ‘YOU KNOW WHAT???’ It has been promoted with a video clip that Lacunza herself has co-directed.
‘DID YOU KNOW???’ It is about Lacunza’s desire to free himself from his own self-control. “Sometimes I need to let go of the clamps with which I hold everything and let everything fall apart around me,” he explained in a recent interview. In the song, Lacunza expresses fatigue at always being “the correct version” of herself and vents her frustration at the disappointments that life has left her, which includes confusing relationships, a constant search for validation, and the feeling that the brilliance of youth – at 26 years old – is being left behind: “I used to shine, I got to have something special,” she sings.
Especially resounding is that phrase in which he sings that, in this new stage of life, “there is no longer advice from mom”, but “just a pile of shit that I don’t know how to swallow.”
To tell this story full of bitterness and vital dissatisfaction, Lacunza chooses a sound close to post-punk but still worked with his usual collaborators, Pau Riutort and Pablo Stipicic. The sound of ‘YOU KNOW WHAT???’ It refers to that of the first Alizzz, that of ‘I no longer feel anything’.
