After presenting four advance singles during the last five months and becoming one of the revelations of the new author music in Spanish, the young Galician artist and composer Ronroneo draws a solo debut album called to become one of the debuts of this 2021.
With one foot in the alternative author pop, the raw folk song and tics that range from psychedelic pop to Latin rhythms such as bolero or tumbao, Ronroneo presents “AUTOERÓTICA”, a songbook that reflects on issues such as fragility or vulnerability of the human being, mental health, the transition from ‘having’ to ‘being’, the confrontation of life and death drives, detachment and love.
A repertoire that emerged from a vital journey that the artist made three years ago to countries such as Bolivia, Chile and Argentina, and which raised its reflective character, where texts and melodies ended up emerging that today are transmuted into “AUTOERÓTICA”, an authentic manual and manifesto resistance of a self that is understood to be fragile and vulnerable, but also powerfully self-accepted, as the title of an album proclaims that alludes to knowing and exploring both one’s own body as well as the mind, soul and emotions that they make us what we are.
– Two hundred centuries without air
Looking for relief in the vastness
Lies a forgotten mind:
It is the Universal Consciousness
If what I say doesn’t make sense
Open your eyes and listen
There is no peace left in your corrosive being
Not a hint of creativity.
More than a millennium without seeing her
But right now it’s right here
Bringing love to war
Bringing peace and shelter to you
If what I say doesn’t make sense
Open your eyes and listen
There is no peace left in your corrosive being
Not a hint of creativity.
