The first event of Sebastián Cortés’ musical journey closes with the release of the first album like “Todo ha cambiado para siempre”, in which all the heroes who made a breakthrough on the national stage, returned to the times of the pandemic and the restaurant room; in one of the most pleasing senses of the whole mass of new artists, who opened the door to a new form and furiously connected with their generation and the confined present in which they all lived not so long ago.
Small remnants of that current that moved the entire national panorama in one way or another, and of that life and creation that arose alongside it. Its most skilled representatives have urged to become different artists who, without forgetting the premises, such as the authority of music and lyrics, the taste of electronics and the strong emotions and opinions, it is known how to draw themselves to the state. latitudes . From hyperpop to the electronic sound of Jersey Club or personal electronic pop. This is the case with Sebastián Cortés and his “Todo ha cambiado para siempre”, the album in which the artist from Madrid has put his work on a higher level, producing and composing it to create something that is not at all intimate; however romantic, with which he shows that he has a gift.
In “Everything Changed Forever” there is a certain certainty that the card flits through the rough attention to detail; everything must be in place. The right dose of each ingredient brings us closer to an album of virtuosity, yet covered in romanticism and emotion. Formal perfection and affection in one. This opposition, which can and should be its differential factor, enriching it in general, turns out to be a somewhat unsolved problem. Sebastián Cortés has signed an album loaded with love songs, the primordial gasoline of the restaurant ever since, but he doesn’t miss us enough to the place. More of a designer electric car than a classic collector who needs to improve his core. As always, the virtues and works of the work help us to better understand the less lofty flights. Songs like “Egoísta” (especially “Egoísta”, “Entertenerme”, “Everything has changed forever” or “Between me and me”) are memorable songs that shock us with their brutal honesty and surprise us in handling codes. But in other places they are only codes which do not transcend affections appear.
All in all, Sebastián Cortesius signs the first album, on which he bases his belief that he will have a serious career in music (perhaps not the most serious music), which of course we can always be careful and enjoy. “Everything changed forever” we need to sit and wait for the artist, who must look more inside than outside, and from what he feels more times to speak, because when he does, he has to say.
