This producer and singer from A Coruña does not usually use labels, but if he had to pigeonhole himself into a genre, Emotional trap is the area that allows him to show his inner world through his songs. DL Blando, member of the defunct Norweside collective, began his solo career in 2017 and is clear about where he comes from and, above all, where he wants to go.
You yourself admit to being able to turn pain into art, how does music help you achieve this?
It seems that I am a very extroverted person but, in reality, I have always swallowed my problems and I am quite reserved about my things and pain. Music is my way of expressing it, an escape route in which I don't feel judged.
You also talk about bad memories and frustrations. Has that changed since you dedicated yourself to music?
In part yes. Everything is going much better Country Email List for me, but there are things that cannot be forgotten, and precisely remembering them is what makes you improve and want to get out of it.
With the rise of trap, there are different opinions about what it is or who can fit into that style. Do you consider your music to be?
Is a delicate topic. The true meaning of trap music was born in Atlanta and was linked to making music in areas where drugs were sold. That is the main difference between trap and rap, since the latter had more social and protest content. Now, trap is the new rap. I don't consider my music as such because although we have done many things with a similar sound, we have a more open range. The last album is more of a rocker . But of course, now all the stories are mixed and they call everything urban music.
What about Emotional trap ?
We wanted to make a small distinction. Ours is more similar to a metal ballad than what Bad Bunny or J. Balvin are doing. People tend to put us in the same bag, even the digital distributors who are the ones who label the music, but we don't want to be that.
"The music we make is more of a metal ballad than something like what J Balvin or Bad Bunny are doing"
What are you trying to convey with your songs?
I try to somehow lead those who are listening to me to remember certain things or some mental state that I had when I was writing a song. I use the code of love because it is something that anyone can identify with, because we have all lived it. For me, music is a universal language, regardless of the language in which you make it, it can transmit a lot of emotions.
