Angélica Garcia's first album sung mostly in Spanish explores self-exploration and catharsis with restless, compelling energy.
The singer’s first album sung mostly in Spanish explores ideas of duality, dealing in self-exploration and catharsis with restless, compelling energy channeled into bolder sounds.is not a twin. That is not to say the singer doesn’t possess a certain duality. She’s the American-born daughter of Mexican parents, fluent in Spanish and English, and guided by her formidable intellect as much as by a sense of intuition that’s harder to define.
Garcia is at her most contemplative on “Color de Dolor” . She ponders the intersection of anguish and beauty, singing through layers of wordless vocals, synthesizers and an electronic beat. The song is a showcase for her voice, which builds in power as the song unfolds, until it sounds as though she’s releasing pain and self-doubt as sonic textures swirl around her. The next song, “Juanita,” comes at the same themes from a different direction.
Things get rowdier on the latter half of Gemelo. “Y Grito” is short, but intense, running about a minute and a half. The track roils and froths as it barrels ahead on a bassline that throbs beneath industrial synths and a snapping electronic snare beat. Garcia’s vocals are turned up enough that they distort slightly, and she sounds urgent and unyielding.
