Cineplexx (Sebastian Litmanovich, based in
Madrid) published its new album Pura Fantasia on October 13, 2023,
but first as an appetiser he presented us with two singles: Oh No
(feat. Anntona, Papaya), and Amigos (feat. Sabina Odone).
He began recording it in March 2020 when he was
rehearsing to go on a promotional tour for his previous album Solo Olas
(2019) and the pandemic arrived, an album that became his personal lifeline
through a tough time. Curiously, in Pura Fantasía he turned his most
vibrant melodies into medicine and has his characteristic detailed production,
which includes numerous clues and riddles that connect each song with each
other, and with songs from previous albums giving continuity to some lyrics or
stories.
12 romantic, danceable songs and many love
affairs always with humor and the eclectic style that characterizes the music
of Cineplexx, bringing together elements of disco music, the most pop 80s,
Latin music and electronic music.
In this album he had the collaborations of
Sabina Odone, Teresa Iturrioz (Le Mans, Single), Madame Recamier, Vanessa
Zamora, and his eternal allies Anntona and Papaya.
Regarding the singles, Oh No features the
surfer guitars of Anntona (Manuel Sanchez from Los Punsetes) and choirs of
Papaya (Yanara Espinoza, Miguel Aguas and Andres Morillo) in a kind of protest
song against the general downturn where he claims "Don't let me push
further down, because I can't go down any more!" While Amigos is a
telenovela continuation of Hey (in which La Bien Querida sang) but in
another stage of the love affair, as if it were the second season of a soap
opera with an open ending, and in a duet with the beautiful voice of Sabina
Odone , Chilean artist residing in Mexico.
All video clips were also devised and directed
by Cineplexx.
Born in Argentina, Madrid-based singer,
songwriter, and producer Sebastián Litmanovich Mazal, better known as
Cineplexx, has collaborated with the likes of La Bien Querida, Soleá Morente,
Enrique Iglesias, Duglas Stewart & BMX Bandits, Stealing Sheeps , Nigel
Baillie (Camera Obscura), Cathy Claret, Ally Kerr, Federico Aubele, Natalia
Clavier, Daniel Melero, Antonna and Papaya among others.
Apart from this album, Cineplexx is working on a
collaborative EP with Sabina Odone, an EP with Kela (Sara Burgos), in his
parallel instrumental project Cosmic Nuit (which began in 2020 and with which
he has published more than 30 tracks to date). , producing new material for
Papaya (a band in which he is a member and producer) and doing remixes for
Vanessa Zamora and other artists.
You can also listen to Sebastián in his segment Latineando
con Cineplexx in the online archives of Hoy Empieza Todo 2 with Marta
Echeverría from Radio 3, for whom he delivered 44 episodes between 2019 and
2023 in which he covers the trajectory of Latino, melodic, romantic artists
from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
