There are things a person carries inside for years, never showing them to anyone. Like those inner conversations that turn into duels with yourself, and always at night, right before sleep. Or an anxiety that appears for no reason. Or loneliness, felt most intensely in moments of personal triumph when there’s no one to share it with. You know, this lives inside each of us, unseen by other people’s eyes. And sometimes we deny those feelings ourselves, forcing them to vanish and become invisible. Melany Cubero turns to this theme in her new album ‘Inviisble’. And… do you feel the title? The inner world of a person is, by its nature, invisible to others, and Melany Cubero takes all those hidden emotions and makes them visible, expressing them through eight songs.
In her songs, Melany Cubero honestly talks about grief, anxiety, inner rise, about acceptance and love. This takes great experience and even greater courage to speak so honestly and openly about everything we try so carefully to hide. Or perhaps ‘Inviisble’ is her way of learning to accept these feelings? To say that it’s okay, that we can talk about everything openly, without keeping it locked inside? I like that Melany Cubero added a bit of paradox to the album. The invisible becomes visible the moment it is heard. Cubero takes what a person experiences in solitude and gives it a form that can be shared with someone else. I’m sure you will recognize yourself in Melany Cubero’s songs, see your own inner experience that previously was invisible. I invite you now to listen to the most striking tracks from the album, the ones that move you the most!
The album opens with the track ‘Fuiste de Viaje.’ A light pop song with synth-like keys and retro drums, where Melany Cubero’s airy vocals carry the melody forward. It’s an easy track that creates a very cozy sound, with airy parts that diffuse the music. It seems that Melany Cubero deliberately chooses such an ethereal and weightless sound to emphasize the aesthetic atmosphere and the beauty of hope.
I like how the slow development of the melody intensifies in ‘Ilógico,’ and the unhurried repetition of the phrase has a calming effect, while the light melody with a groovy rhythm enhances this energy. ‘Ilógico’ allows you to rediscover every aspect of the singer’s sound, then the melody changes, and the confident R&B vocals and bright backing take over all the space.
I want to mention the track ‘Invisible’ for its minimalist beauty, Melany Cubero’s amazing vocals, and her stunning performance. This track highlights the singer, and it feels as if a spotlight is on Melany and there is no one else around. The song reveals the strongest inner feelings, their softness, as well as a special and deep vulnerability. It is the central track of the album and one of the most important ones, sounding like her soul.
Then the cozy R&B track ‘Introspectiva (Nunca Fui Yo)’ relieves the atmosphere. This is a cozy contemporary pop track with a bright rhythm and warm vocals of Melany Cubero breaking into backing voices. If you are looking for a track that will brighten your evening, then ‘Introspectiva (Nunca Fui Yo)’ was created especially for such moments. I like the amazing choir of voices, it creates for me a very magical and ethereal feeling. Perfect!
The emotional center of the album sounds in the track ‘Veloz.’ Closer to the end of the release, this song feels like a rebirth, long-awaited and confident. You know, here the singer’s sensual vocals transform into a more assured sound, as if the main character gains strength by the end of the journey, which concludes with power and liberation. I admit, ‘Veloz’ is my favorite track on the album!
Be sure to pay attention to the song ‘Amapola.’ You know, this is that very moment of rebirth, when the wings on your back spread and it feels like anything is possible. Melany Cubero’s voice gains strength, the jazz elements come to the forefront, and you know, this song finally falls in love with the album ‘Inviisble.’
Believe me, you will be surprised by how the track ‘Despierta’ sounds. Here you will hear a mix of styles, the energy grows thanks to the rap of the guest artist Kingstar, who adds a new sound to the album. I like how what started with an orchestral melody transforms into stylish pop rap, and the juicy saxophone brings it back to a jazzy R&B sound. The track ‘Invisible – Remix’ is a remix of the album’s title song, which allows you to enjoy its groovy sound in a new way. On the other hand, it may be a conceptual move that demonstrates rebirth and release from accumulated emotions, what do you think?
You know, ‘Inviisble’ by Melany Cubero is really a great album that you can listen to and enjoy. Excellent vocals, emotional Spanish, light melody, and a deep concept. Be sure to add it to your favorite tracks in your playlist and follow Melany Cubero so you don’t miss even more cool releases!
Heeey Melany! Thank you for releasing such cool music. Make more of such great tracks. I really liked the light atmosphere, the vocals, and the production of the album. The gentle purple tones in the design emphasize the conceptuality of the release, its ethereality and romanticism. You can feel how much effort was put into the release, and it is incredible. I will definitely show the release to everyone so they can also listen to such cool music. I love it and I want more!
