chiquita magic - fantasi
hernicek
self-released
Listening to fantasi is like getting lost in a forest during an electric storm, tripping over the roots of a tree and stumbling into an underground fairy rave.
The latest album by Colombian musician and producer chiquita magic playfully experiments with frenetic drum sequences, polyphonic choirs and harmonic bass drops. “Get out and don’t leave yourself behind,” she sings over flittering snares, “it doesn’t matter when this reality chose you.”
In her own words, chiquita magic pulls us through “portals into different moods & feelings” across fifteen tracks. Whether singing about self-perception, attraction, or inner peace, her fusion of atonal keys and rapidly ascending pitches create a haunting atmosphere of eternal spring, evoking the eerie sense of something always in bloom.
Overall, fantasi is an intriguing mix of tropi-pop and avant-electronic musings.
