Among the most anticipated albums of 2024 we must count Judeline’s debut. ‘Bodhiria’ has arrived linked to an interesting concept, although more unexpected has been the takeoff of one of its advance singles, which, in principle, is not the one that would best define the project or the sound of Lara Fernández in general, but which The public has welcomed it with open arms.
Although Judeline’s sound has been characterized by its electronic and dreamy side, reminiscent of R&B or reggaeton, ‘zarcillos de plata’ offers something else. Specifically, acoustic guitars. It’s the closest thing to a Judeline dream-pop song. It’s the Song of the Day.
By melody and instrumentation, ‘zarcillos de plata’ is the typical atmospheric guitar ballad that Mazzy Star or Hope Sandoval could have signed solo in times past. Vocally, the style is flamenco -she is from Cádiz- but the song never stops being absorbed. As is Judeline with the boy she has fallen in love with.
‘Silver Tendrils’ follows the story of the romance between Judeline and the thuggish boy we already met in previous singles. In ‘Silver Tendrils’ the setting is nocturnal and post-coital: the boy, with his ring in his ear, “rocks” at three in the morning, while Judeline watches from bed, imagining how else fate will separate them again. Judeline has fallen in love with a criminal and can’t do anything about it.
Since its premiere, ‘zarcillos de plata’ has gone viral in Spain, and Judeline’s performance in La Revuelta has given it a boost, boosting its listeners: right now it is ranked 66th among the most successful songs on Spotify Spain , rising 97 positions.
