Where were you?

It’s a question almost as transcendental as who we are and where we come from, because it refers not only to a physical space but also to the way we were facing the moment, in what vital situation we were in.

To avoid being asked where we were when these gems selected here come out, we recommend leaving little breadcrumbs in our diaries, marking the release dates of the next works by these artists who can become our vital compass, one that, to the question of where we were in the last year, allows us to answer, in a place where we read Mallorca Global Mag, imagining listening to the musical notes that will come from the hands of artists like Morrissey, Manic Street Preachers, Iván Ferreiro, Iggy Pop, Dani Martín…

Not all of them are here, but they are all those who will surely be on the shelves of those who want to treasure a piece of the history of the music to come.

Recommendations for José Miguel Vera.

Iván Ferreiro Puede que Madrid sea una trinchera popIván Ferreiro

Puede que Madrid sea una trinchera pop

POP-ALTERNATIVA

Launching 06/December/24

Another album that captures -or at least tries tothe energy of the moment of the Galician’s concert at the Wizink Center. Ferreiro has always been one of the most interesting voices in independent Spanish pop, from the distant days of Los Piratas to songs like Años 80. Apertas Ivan! And may it be many more years in the (Pop) Trenches.

 

 

Snoop Dogg Disco Snoop Dogg -Missionary

Missionary

HIP HOP-RAP

Launching 13/diciembre/24

Snoop Dogg, the rapper who revolutionised Hip Hop at the end of the 20th century, has put himself in the hands of Dr Dre to shape his new album Missionary, an album by two old acquaintances that nevertheless represents an evolution both in the maturity of Snoop’s lyrics and in Dr Dre’s musical side. He feels better than ever on that front.

 

Dani Martín MUSICA Dani Martín  El último día de nuestras vidas

El último día de nuestras vidas

POP-ROCK

Launching 20/December/24

No one doubts that Dani Martín has gone through a period of profound personal change, and this cannot remain unreflected in his work, which he defines, as it appears on the cover, as a shout. One that comes from his own entrails. It will include 10 songs that sing of love and heartbreak. A hymn to street art, to Madrilenianism and with a great sense of humour.

 

Ringo Starr MUSICA RINGO STARR-Look up

Look up

COUNTRY

Launching 10/January/25

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Ringo Starr! Look Up is the first full-length album he has released in five years. And to tell the truth, it’s very fitting to compare the title of this album with an icon of the ‘American way’ like the superhero from Krypton, because the Englishman’s album is totally Country. With Tomeu Penya’s permission, I would say that Starr has copied his look and even his style.

 

MUSICA FRANZ FERDINAND

Franz Ferdinand

The human fear

ROCK

Launching 10/January/25

Without a doubt, music is therapeutic and if doctors could prescribe it, this latest work by the Scottish band would be at the top of the list of the most prescribed ‘medicines’. Franz Ferdinand’s new album, through its 11 tracks, makes an accurate x-ray of the fears that inhabit the human mind and also suggests how to face them and accept them.

 

Teddy Swims MUSICA TEDDY SWIMS

But therapy

POP

Launching 24/January/25

He has tried everything but therapy, for the time being; music lovers will be satisfied to have the North American singing to ease their apparent sorrows. His only performance in Spain this year was at the Los40 Music Awards, but he will return to the old continent in 2025. We’ll have to keep our eyes peeled, Teddy Swims is one of the solo artists of this decade.

 

MUSICA IGGY Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2023Iggy Pop

Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2023

PUNK-ROCK

Launching 24/January/25

A real treasure for those who experienced the punk iguana’s electrifying appearance at the legendary Montreux festival and for those who didn’t. These 18 tracks from the world punk icon’s live performance in July 2023 will go down in history. With tracks from his time with the Stooges and from his most recent studio album Every Loser

 

Manic Street Preachers MUSICA MANIC STREET Critical thinking

Critical thinking

POP-ROCK

Launching 31/January/25

This brings the number of releases this Welsh band has given us since 1986 to 15. Although the songs lack a defined concept, the group has done what it does best, giving shape to the compositions of Nicky Wire and James Dean Bradfield. A critical reflection on aspects of today’s world, encompassing politics and social issues.

 

MUSICA MORISSEY-Bonfire of teenagers

Morrissey

Bonfire of teenagers

POP-ROCK

Launching/ February/25

Our sad and lonely boy travelled to LA to record his 11 songs, surrounded by professionals such as Andrew Watt and musicians of the stature of Chad Smith and Flea. The album is the result of the existential sadness and the bad patch he went through back in 2021, and after being orphaned of a record label, it will come out through Capitol Records label

 

Lisa MUSICA LISA-Alter Ego

Alter Ego

POP

Launching 28/February/25
