Big-beat production and divinely gentle vocals collaborate to set the mood in an instant – Brenda Román delivers an intoxicating soundscape and song, with the evocative and uplifting Princesa & Guerrera.
Exploring the classic romance of the princess and the warrior, the song builds up beautifully around an organic pop-rock and synth-pop arrangement that’s wholly immersive. All the while, Brenda’s gentle to boldly impassioned vocals guide us through an increasingly energising performance, by way of a melody that’s long-form enough to feel original, but which also consistently resolves back to the familiar comfort of the hook.
Seeming almost like an arena-ready, full-band set-up at its peak, the style of Princesa & Guerrera is notably unique right now. Brenda’s voice has the makings of a sound that could easily connect well in today’s largely singer-songwriter dominated space, and yet with the unique electronic rock and cinematic production to support it, we’re suddenly embraced by a whole new style and creative angle.
Both dreamy and dramatic in its pairing of delicacy and weight, this is a wonderful new release, from an artist with a clear affinity for both performance and storytelling.
