Emanero’s fifth studio album, “Chernobyl”, came out that dizzying week in which records rained from the national scene. But he likes it. He sees it as an excuse to celebrate twice as much: celebrating his release and that of his colleagues and friends. There are 8 tracks that oscillate between urban pop, rock and other elements of hip hop. It is the first work in which he takes the reins in all aspects, both in composition and production.
“It was a big laburo that had a lot to do with the confinement and saying ‘What can I move forward and collaborate with this?’ It was a process of many years, many albums I had wanted to finish and work well fussy, but sometimes due to technical ignorance or lack of time I ended up including other people,” he tells Filo.News.And continues: “For this album I did not need to do that directly. It wasn’t something that was born from me. I started to work it myself, I liked how it was looking and I said ‘Well, for me that’s fine, I like how it sounds’. It happened with one, two, three songs and when I had to solve the album there was no other option. DIje ‘Let’s do it like the last three songs.'”
“This record was one of the fastest I made,” he says. “Como vos lo hacés” was the first broadcast cut released in June 2020, but “la mimada del álbum” is the song that gives it the title. “‘Chernobyl’ has just the right amount of the old Emanero rapping in the middle and the new one more friendly with singing and open with pop.” Another of the jewels adored by Emanero is “Sola”, the collaboration he has with Estani. “I met him from YouTube recommendations two or three years ago. When I went to write to him to ask if he wanted to do something, I already had messages from him that I had never seen saying he liked my music. It was a very mutual relationship. I really liked his music and he already liked what he had been doing. We both did with pleasure from that side.” I have a very special connection with Estani because he is a composer, he performs his own songs and at the same time he is a producer. It has to do with my laburo, the same thing happens to me: I am an artist, I am a rapper, I always made my music, my songs, I do both the music and the lyrics and I also produce other artists. From that side we understand each other a lot with Estani and we share a lot of data. I feel like a colleague very much like me and I am very much like him.”
The Bahian artist integrates the new litter of artists who do not have a defined musical genre and in which collaborations emerge. “I don’t think the urban genre has ever had such a union. And I can tell you because I come from a generation before this one in the move,” reflects Emanero. It didn’t happen to me before I was eating in a place and 5 of the best known artists of the moment arrived to sit down to eat at the next table all together. You realize that the union you see is real. And it doesn’t just have to do with music: it’s so much what they’re generating, they’re artists so big and so required, and so much at the time, that I feel like they’re taking care of each other, they’ve been taking care of each other together because they know that they know that between them there is no interest that they can suspect from people they don’t know or it doesn’t come from the stick. I feel that the unity they have is very genuine,” he adds. >
With a couple of weeks out, this Sunday, December 5, comes the official presentation of “Chernobyl” at the Vorterix Theater (Av. Federico Lacroze 3455). “I take advantage of this release to make a date in a big place like the Vorterix and full band. The idea is to make something longer and looser. We are going to review all the songs, the oldest ones performed by an entire band that gives like a new life to the songs, and obviously the new songs of this album and the previous one, “he advances. In this duality of the old Emanero and the new Emanero, what is the difference? “The new Emanero I think is the same Emanero as always but that before was immersed in a genre full of prejudices and that made him himself adopt prejudices towards himself that thinking about them today is almost ridiculous.
Sometimes we censored ourselves in the genre for things of the genre that didn’t really make sense and when that started to be released and those practices were abandoned, the genre automatically exploded,” he replies. And he closes: “It is not that there is an old Emanero and a new one, but that there is an Emanero that allows itself to do a lot of things that I wanted to do or did but they did not end up being part of an album or ended up being part of productions of others or for other genres that I can now turn into my music because I opened up and because the genre and all the new wave of artists of the gender taught us a lot of things to those of my generation and nots opened the court a lot. It’s not that now I changed for, but that I started applying things I wanted to do before and freeing myself with a lot of things.” Emanero presents his new album “Chernobyl” this Sunday, December 5 at the Vorterix Theater.
