Following the what if scenario of ageing Powerpuff Girls in “Would Be”, Las Nubes has released the final single from their June 14th album Tormentas Malsanas.
Infused with grit, grime, and a grungy groove, “Pesada” is a powerful, raw, and unapologetic song from the duo of Emile Milgrim and Ale Campos.
Thrumming with a sludgy and fuzzy lo-fi energy, “Pesada” delivers a melodic rebuke to those who vocally advocate or engage superficially in social issues online but fail to act when it matters.
Reflecting on the song’s inspiration during the aftermath of George Floyd‘s murder, Ale comments,
“‘Pesada’ is about performative activism and the convenience of sitting at home and clicking ‘add to story’.”
The accompanying music video was directed by Mariana Mendoza and visually heightens the intensity of the song. With “Pesada,” Las Nubes not only amplifies their sonic prowess but also ignites crucial conversations about accountability, authenticity, and the impact of digital activism versus real-world engagement.
As their album release approaches, Las Nubes continues to carve out a distinct voice in the music landscape, challenging listeners to confront uncomfortable truths through their blistering sound and uncompromising vision.
