After a round 2023, it was time for María Escarmiento welcomed 2024 under conditions. A little over a year has passed since the Madrid native gave us his first album, WITCH THINGS: a project in which he gave himself fully to makineo, hyper-pop and electronics and which allowed him to make a tour with more than 20 dates through some of the most important venues and festivals in our country.
13 months later (and with the release of the EP Warmth sensation with Fran Laoren) the artist abandons the darkness that characterized her previous stage to wipe the slate clean and present yourself renewed. Mari Mari Mari (read in the same tone as Buika entering a trance with each performance of Lucas in the last three galas in OT 2023) has become brighter, tougher and funnier (more level), but with the same ability to make hits that he has been showing us for years. One thing is clear: Lesson makes the truly difficult easy.
TPQMO (I asked you to forget me) compacts in less than two minutes the true essence of the artist: a catchy rhythm, enjoyable rhymes and the narration of an experience that everyone can identify with. Because…who hasn’t had their ego hurt at some point? “I asked you to forget me and when you forgot me, I wanted you to remember that one day you liked me” the Madrid native sings during the chorus.
The single, which is accompanied by a music video directed by Pablo Amores (who has been in charge of all the aesthetics of his projects since his departure from OT, including all the visual part of WITCH THINGS) once again displays the avant-garde and underground that have always surrounded his figure. And sometimes you only need a color scheme, a white wall and the collaboration of two of your friends (África Dalia continues to support her in everything she does) to make a video clip that leaves us speechless.
With the promise of a new album divided into two parts for 2024, whose first act we will be able to enjoy next April, I asked you to forget me It becomes the perfect letter of introduction for a period in which he promises to continue being a true fashion icon of the 2000s.: the bell-bottoms, the low waist, the gel nails, the furry boots and her trucker become the best allies of this confession that takes shape as the stanzas progress.
María Escarmiento evolves, contradicts herself and continues on her path. TPQMO It is everything we could expect from it and more: an anthem for the crazy ones with which we will not hesitate to break up the dance floor.
