JOSEFINA is the new single from NTVG, a cut from their latest album LUZ and the video for which has now been released on the band’s official YouTube channel. Written by Emiliano Brancciari
for his maternal grandmother, Josefina, the song is an ode to the
purest and simplest love as a foundation for the personal development of
every human being. Musically it can be described as upbeat “power pop,”
a sound that has come to define the Uruguayan band, while the video was
filmed on 'Cerro de los Burros' in Piriápolis, Uruguay.
JOSEFINA
is a brilliant example of the spirit that dominates on LUZ, which
focuses on a universe much more intimate than the band’s previous studio
album “Suenan las Alarmas.” Concerns about the outside world give way
to the deepest and most personal reflexions that focus on personal
experiences directly linked to human emotions and relationships.
Released
on May 7, No Te Va Gustar’s new album LUZ brings the band back to their
electric roots with guitar-driven songs and memorable choruses. The 12
songs that form the album were recorded in Jose Ignacio,
Uruguay during the month of October 2020 in the countryside, surrounded
by nature and peace, which influenced the mood and final sound of these
new tracks.
The album was produced by the Venezuelan-born, New York-based producer Héctor Castillo
(David Bowie, Gustavo Cerati, Lou Reed, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs,
Bjork), who joined forces with the band once again after having worked
with them on Suenan Las Alarmas (2017) and on the live album Otras
Canciones (2019).
LUZ features special guests: Nicki Nicole on the song “Venganza,” who not only delivers a spectacular performance but also wrote and produced her own part; Ricardo Mollo on “Austro” (the song from which the album title was born), who contributed vocals and electric guitar to the track; and Anita Álvarez de Toledo on the choruses of “Mejor Callar,” “Mi Ausencia,” “Venganza,” and “Josefina.”
Since
its release, LUZ has garnered great reviews and praise by fans and
press alike. The album has exceeded 14 million streams on digital
platforms and the official music videos released on YouTube ("No Te
Imaginás", "Venganza", "Dejo Atrás" and "La Rama") have surpassed 11
million plays to date.
