The musical versatility of ODDLIQUOR continues to grow in releasing ‘Amor Propio,’ a
new song where the Madrid-born artist gets bold with Latin rhythms
garnished with an electronic production that highlights him once again
as one of the most powerful, brilliant, and chameleonic figures in the
national scene. It’s a hit to help us love ourselves more and, at the
same time, it’s one that will keep us listening and dancing. If we can
cling to the latter, the better.
‘Amor Proprio’
was born from the purest inspiration. Described by the artist himself
as an “accidental bachata,” the idea came up in the middle of a studio
session with Im Married, member of the band Çantamarta, while in the adjacent room Judeline and Vatocholo were working on a sort of “corrido.” “The
muse reigned supreme, and with very little shame, because what in the
beginning was going to be a collage of old Drum&Bass samples, ended
up becoming a bachatón with my personal touch,” ODDLIQUOR shares about the genesis of a song that promises to be the ideal soundtrack of the burgeoning fall season.
The careful production and attention to detail, along with sophisticated arrangements, make ‘Amor Propio’ the
letter of intent from an artist unafraid to flow within a sea of
different styles and musical genres. To that he adds suggestive lyrics
as a hook that stresses the understanding and acceptance of oneself in
order to emotionally heal from past relationships…until we meet someone
who can turn our world upside down.
If ODDLIQUOR began the summer speaking to us about turbulent love affairs with ‘Ojalá Hubiera Sio + Fácil’, the first single he released after the great reception he received from critics and the public alike for his album 4X4, in a performance that mixed the sound of his past and his present, with ‘Amor Propio,’
he concludes the summer season conveying a message of personal security
in a romantic and melancholic way. Similarly, he brings an artistic
perspective to the future thanks to his ability to unlock, without
limits, an experimental musical palette with which he is developing the
foundations of a new sound that is seducing rising generations.
ODDLIQUOR
has perfectly closed the circle with a song that defines him, without a
glimmer of doubt, as a complete artist free of labels. And he returns
to demonstrate that he knows how to sing about love in its different
forms with an originality and sensibility beyond the reach of many in
the Spanish R&B scene.
‘Amor Propio’ is one of the most unusual and unique songs that ODDLIQUOR has created to date. Therefore, for the single’s artwork, he collaborated with the Barcelonian artist Boldtron, one of the most fascinating creative minds when it comes to creating characters and universes in 3D and RV.
