BON CALSO AND HIS ATTEMPT TO HAVE A PIECE OF THE PIE

I discovered the work of Bon Calso back in 2023 in the roll-out of OUTTA CONTROL as Judeline recommended him via TikTok. For me, “POLTERGEIST / MM?” is the hit of the project, where haunting sounds and fragmented identity reflect the psychological tension of contemporary digital life. Going back to the albums before this one, I truly think that OUTTA MY HEAD is sceptional, where “Don’t Cry” stands out as a banger that revolves around the idea of being emotionally restrained, blending vulnerability with the aesthetics of the Spanish underground scene.

Such projects became the way to get known for the Spanish urban fans, but we are here to celebrate the anniversary of “Número 7” that truly placed him in the spotlight of this nation (music wise of course). The album is best understood as an intimate, melodic exploration of youth and emotion within the Spanish urban landscape; where storytelling and vulnerability take center stage over image or attitude. An array of tunes that have accompanied us throughout the year in our headphones, letting us be sensible with songs like “EL PR€CIO” with Diego 900 or “West Side Story” with Aleesha or really freaky with “seis nueve” as one of the most suggestive lyrics of recent times in the urban scene (very catchy, very sexy). But I would like to highlight “ANTES DE Q TU ME QUIERAS” with Juicy BAE that serves as an anthem for vulnerability, desire, and the fear of emotional imbalance in relationships.  

The first time I saw him performing live was in his free concert in the Getafe festivities last summer, it was really an intimate moment with a crowd that was so ready to sing out loud every lyric. With L’Haine and Juicy BAE collaborating in his show, it really struck me the good energy that they projected into the crowd. In August, I missed his show at Riverland that was outstanding. An inflatable gun took center stage and a few strippers-like dancers swayed to the rhythm of the singer’s lyrics. It was striking to see such an impressive visual world from an artist as underground as him.

On March 20th, Bon Calso is going to try to have a piece of the pie by doing an emotive final show at The Garage – Autocine. Where he is ready to let this era finish. Where he is going to put the effort to provide an unforgettable show for his fans, who have accompanied him since the beginning. Doing a little throwback with songs from “OUTTA MY HEAD”, “Love Me Not” and “OUTTA CONTROL”. Trying to get rid of one his classics, “Estrellas”, as he said in RVLND BACKSTAGE, there is a sense that he is not feeling the song anymore, it was part of his beginnings but he is trying to get to new and exciting things. Just as his latest singles serves as examples of the range of genres that the artists can make: from “PORSCHE” that shared a melancholic vision of modern trap culture through guitar strings to “SOLO ESPERO” that blends indie pop with soft trap expressing an introspective reflection on waiting. We are so pumped to understand the future of the artist and where he wants to take us. See you soon Jorge!
