I agree with you, amateurist, re Mena's melodies sounding influenced by that Iberian twee circa 2000… but to my recollection that sort of thing was never at all popular in Latin America (perhaps Entre Rios being an exception).
The thing that bothers me about Mena's singing though is not her melodies but her phrasing, which is sort of typical of South American indie and it kind of grates of me. I can only get past it because the music is incredible.

I have grown to really love this album, with "Otra Era" and "Sincronía, Pegaso" being the stand outs...but that can change based on the day. I'm finding it hard to compare it with MENA since they seem like such different beasts.
Also, it looks like there is some countdown clock on her website counting down to Monday. Hopefully, that's when we can order the physical version.

wtf @ Alfred using "Latin America" as a synonym for "central america"

i think this album is much better than mena
― dyl, Thursday, 6 November 2014 17:59 (nine years ago) link
this is really great
do all her albums sound like peak era kylie

Not really sure but Esquemas Juveniles is also really good
Mena is about half very good half okay
― 龜, Thursday, 6 November 2014 19:35 (nine years ago) link
nah, mena is 100% great, esquemas juveniles is about half very good half okay. they get less kylie-esque as you go back, afaict, but i'm no kylie expert.

Mena is definitely 100% great, just not in the same way as Otra Era.

her videos are usually great but the one for otra era is surprisingly dull

When the ILM Lollarooella fest happens, we've got to make sure she's near the top of the bill.

Really cool show! The live clips I'd seen before were super ropey but I guess now she has the experience and the budget to make the most of her limitations.

Apparently she has a new album out tomorrow! Looking forward to hearing it. The singles so far have been so good.

Just hit play on it a moment ago. Will report back.

Excellent! Seems like a great day to be alive with this and Dirty Computer coming out on the same day.

This album is pretty streamlined, fits together well, easy listen. Janelle's is kind of a sprawling mess, so I'm not sure where I'm at on it yet.

this new record is so good! i think I've found my summer album.

"Alma" and "Espejo" are incredible and this is so good, easily my second favourite of her albums already
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 2 May 2018 09:00 (five years ago) link
The new album is lovely. It's not hitting me the same way Otra Era did, but there's some gorgeous stuff here.

This is...her least interesting album? Fault is probably mine, I just miss being launched into space...

I think you guys are all crazy. The vocal melodies on this are much stronger on this, they don't stay in the same narrow range that they did Otra Era.
