The phenomenon of ‘Zorra’ has been one of the great pop moments of 2024. It has taken Nebulossa about a year to make a move with the launch of a new single, ‘Cotileo’, which not only has not disappointed, but has added to its growing list of classics.
These days, Nebulossa has released a new single, apparently unrelated to his next long project. ‘Por Ti Por Mí’ is in tune with the current pre-Christmas festive atmosphere: it’s like Nebulossa’s ‘One More Year’, to make the comparison easy. Then, today, December 11, surprisingly, they released another one, ‘Bailar Hasta Morir’, a cover of Tino Casal.
Although it seems that it will not go beyond an anecdote in his career, ‘Por Ti Por Mí’ is more than a “stop along the way” in Nebulossa’s career and does not deserve to be forgotten. Specifically, it is a song that Mery Bas dedicates to those people who “are no longer here”, but also to those who have accompanied her along the way, in this last year, and to those who will come in the future.
‘Por Ti Por Mí’ is a song that radiates nostalgia and happiness, and it is also a very good melody by Mery Bas and Mark Dasousa that shows a different facet of the duo, which here signs a neat mid-tempo that has little to envy of their danceable hits. The cloying production of ‘Por Ti Por Mí’ is pure brilli-brilli pop, golden like the “champagne” to which Mery alludes in a statement published on social networks, in which she explains the meaning of the song.
“‘Por Ti Por Mí’ is a stop along the way to thank all those who have helped me get here,” says the artist. «Some of you are still by my side and others are unfortunately no longer here. I miss you terribly and I dedicate this song to you with all my love and with the procession inside but without losing the smile, without losing the hope. I know there is a corner in the universe where we will meet again and float among champagne bubbles.
‘Bailar Hasta Morir’ goes beyond Nebulossa, who update Tino Casal’s classic by soaking it in fluorescent funk. It ends in a fade out, faithful to the eighties.
