MIAMI.– The singer and songwriter Mon Laferte presents her new single “Esto Es Amor”, in collaboration with the Argentinian musician Conociendo Rusia (Mateo Sujatovich). one of the most outstanding names of the new generation of Argentinian song. It is a song built on a soul base with an elegant production, framed within alternative pop.
Recorded and produced by
Mon Laferte and
Manu Jalil, the sound refers to references such as
Roberta Flack and
Bill Withers, with a focus on the body language of the groove, with an aesthetic that prioritizes the analog.
The saxophone, as a sound resource, stands out for the exotic nature of its timbre, functioning as a physical counterpoint to the sexual nature of Laferte’s sharp pen in the lyrics, which addresses desire from an explicit and contemporary place.
“Baby, eating your lips is religion. Between your legs I will pray.”
The music video accompanying the release, directed by Chilean filmmaker Camila Grandi and produced by the Buena Noche collective, is set in a nineties office. The visual aesthetic complements the track’s sound with clear references to cinema and pop culture with a strong erotic charge. It’s a video that draws inspiration from the language of soft porn of the time, its aesthetic, tension, and symbolism that invites us to fantasize.
