Efecto Pasillo feat. Huecco – Funketón [2020 Version]
Efecto Pasillo is a popular Spanish band, formed in 2007 on the Canary Island of Gran Canaria. Three years later (now 10 years ago), their first, self-titled album came out. The band have dedicated the whole of 2020 to the celebration of this milestone.
So far, Efecto Pasillo released four albums. Throughout this year, they’ve been releasing new versions of tracks off these albums, each with a guest artist. In the end, they’ll have released ten updated versions, and meanwhile, they’re working on three brand-new songs.
After collaborations with acts like Despistaos, David Otero and Georgina, the seventh jubilee single features Huecco. He is the creator of the rumbatón genre, which mixes rumba flamenco with reggaetón. To make things more complicated, Huecco collaborates with Efecto Pasillo on a reprise of their 2013 track Funketón. This results in an extremely catchy cocktail of funk and rumbatón.
I dare you to try and sit still to this one!

The Allergies (feat. The Cuban Brothers) – Let Them Know
It may be summer for months in large parts of Europe, but meteorologically, it has only just begun. Right on time, The Allergies release their sunny new single Let Them Know.
Bristol’s finest serve up a hotbed of big hip-hop drums, huge funky horns, and dynamite boogaloo rhythms. This provides the perfect backdrop for the vocals of party starters The Cuban Brothers. Boosted by a massively catchy chorus, the track creates a full-on carnival atmosphere.
Let Them Know is the latest single to be released ahead of The Allergies’ upcoming album Say The Word. Let’s get this party started!

Michelle David & The Gospel Sessions – Victory!
In the run-up to her fourth long-player, Michelle David was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thanks to a positive attitude with both a firm and courageous will, she fully recovered. Overcoming her illness became the main theme of her album The Gospel Sessions, Vol. 4.
Victory! is the key track on the record and indeed, it almost bursts with lust for life. On top of a Santana-like latin groove, David sings about her victory over fate.
The song is a good example of the overall triumphant tone of the album, which incorporates more strings, percussion, horns and even analogue synths.

Raphael Gualazzi – Carioca
Raphael Gualazzi is an Italian singer and pianist. In 2011, he won the Sanremo festival in the Best Newcomer category. A year later, he represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest, ending second.
Gualazzi just released his fifth studio album Ho Un Piano (which translates as ‘I have a plan’). He presented the first single off it, Carioca, at the Sanremo festival 2020. A great song, which starts in a typical Italian fashion, but with distinct latin, carnival and dance influences. As far as I’m concerned, spring has officially started.

Claire Laffut feat. Yseult – Nudes
Short introduction: Claire Laffut is a 23-year-old Belgian multi-talent, currently living in Paris. She writes, paints, draws and sings. Yseult (24) is a singer-songwriter and model, who was runner up in the tenth season of French TV talent show Nouvelle Star. Since then, she developed her own pop-trap hybrid, called ‘Y-trap’.
The single Nudes brings these upcoming talents together. It’s a fresh track, full of summer vibes and held together by a walking bassline. The song can be found on the mini album Molitor, named after the Paris hotel with its iconic retro swimming pool. The Nudes video was shot there, mixing vintage and modern styles. A feast for ears and eyes !
