Red Moon In Venus - Kali Uchis (2023)

Ideated from: some recent releases I’ve been spinning

I’ve not paid as much attention as I should have on Kali Uchis. I realized while looking at this in spotify that I’d favorited tracks from albums and singles going back to her 2018 debut, Isolation, without really remembering the name.

Her music isn’t the most distinctive music you’ll hear, but she has a great voice and delivers lyrics (in both Spanish and English) that are heartfelt and honest.

If anything, this new record is much more concentrated and consistent in its subjects and overall sound. Smooth R&B, latin urbana, and lots of nice production touches to keep it all sonically interesting.

The lyrics delve deep into various expressions of love in the modern world, both transcendent and scary.

Tracks I Liked

I Wish You Roses - a whimsical and reflective love song

Hasta Cuando - a great lyric and a great beat

Endlessly - a great late-80s style urban jam

Blue - gorgeous
