El Amor Menos Pensado 2018

En estos tiempos en los que el formato físico está empezando a convertirse en un mero objeto de decoración destinado a unos cuantos nostálgicos; en los que la música se escucha de manera frenética, sin conceder el poso necesario a los discos para un disfrute con cierto criterio, es de agradecer que se editen compilaciones tan cuidadas y completas como esta Bunbury, Canciones 1987–2017 (Warner). Es cierto que el streaming ha generado un cambio en los hábitos de consumo cultural que en algunos casos puede hacernos optar por tener ciertos discos o películas en formato digital, a no ser que su versión tangible tenga algo que ofrecernos que realmente haga que merezca la pena su adquisición, como el caso que nos ocupa, una retrospectiva de los treinta primeros años de carrera de uno de nuestros artistas más universales.

Raised on the roads and in the footsteps of her parents musicians Yuri Popoff, Lena Horta and her uncle the legendary Toninho Horta, Diana Horta Popoff is a singer, pianist, flutist and composer. His music is born between Rio, Belo Horizonte and Europe and reveals a pianist with sophisticated chords, a flutist with a soft and warm sound and a typically Brazilian sweet voice.

Esencial is a 2018 2CD compilation by Puerto Rican pop sensation Ricky Martin. After becoming "too old" (16 years), he had to leave the boy band Menudo which meant he had to find a way to have hits on his own terms. It had taken awhile but he did before he became a worldwide phenomenon. This features his biggest hits, primarily the Spanish versions. This was released by Sony Music Legacy.

Tim Hecker's first album for Mille Plateaux, Radio Amor, follows two excellent efforts for the relatively smaller yet similarly prestigious Substractif label, and accordingly consolidates that pair into his most inclusive and presentable recording yet.
