Jordana B.

Description

JORDANA B. is a young group from Madrid led by the charismatic actress, poet and creative María Solá. They have been publishing singles with great acceptance on all streaming lists for two years and without stopping playing live. They have toured all of Spain playing, without having yet published their debut album. And their catchy, catchy and generational songs are sublimated with a thuggish, cheeky, bubbly and overflowing of energy live performance.

Very good streaming figures for the previous singles + a successful tour schedule that never stops growing is the best preamble for a debut album and that's how we find “Tú y qué Many Más”.

“You and how many more” is an album for anti-heroines; for the people who continued participating despite never winning. For those who cry their eyes out and then raise their heads and continue with elegance. For people who live in a comedy-drama all day and break the fourth wall. For everyone who wants to live and tries not to die trying.

The setting for all of her imagination takes place in Madrid, María's place of residence ("Summer in Madrid"), with accurate nods to Buenos Aires in the single "Classe Media" (her hometown). In these scenarios the story of a girl in her twenties unfolds, living the fourth wave of a feminism for which she fights but at the same time betrays from time to time ("Bad Feminist"). She is still not very clear about who she is or what she wants to do with her life, so she accepts different jobs with the pretext of surviving in any way and continuing to write (shop assistant, baker, private teacher, marketing intern for 200 euros a month...) A soundtrack spiced by tragicomedy that talks about sex, dramas focused from the point of view of self-confidence, humor and precariousness. Lost in a city characterized by anonymity and nocturnal magic, a generation faces a future that they were promised and that no longer exists.

And what do we do now?

Literally whatever we want, because when someone gets used to losing they also lose shame. That is why María does not shy away from talking about her different failed stories with men in “Leandro Tudela” or “Jake Long”, defining herself as her own antagonist, which we can see in songs like “Club de Fans” and “Like Thinking…”, in which she makes a self-criticism, laughing at herself and becoming a drama princess.

There is also a lot of autofiction spun by a true subplot about their great love story of the last four years, which evolves from its best facet in the anthem Cumbia B. “What a brave mania you have to stop my heart…”, passing through the sadness, smoke and the squalor of Another Scalpel (where we can hear the first verses in which he describes depression and talks about harming oneself; “I don't want to wake up, it seems like the ground is burning…”) to its most angry version and lapidary in My Dear Beloved Hate, a song that María describes as *“the grave of a love for which from time to time I stop by to leave flowers”*. She also talks about the end of a friendship that marked her forever and boosted her songs and her career in “Superstar.”

Many people from the current music scene have passed through this album, as can be seen in the vinyl credits themselves. However, from Siroco to La Riviera passing through festivals such as MUWI, Veranos de la Villa, Ebrovisión, Petit Format or El Festival de La Luz, for three years María has been touring and composing together with Mónica Vicente (virtuoso drummer as well as one of María's best friends) and Mané López (guitarist and producer of much of the album), they make up the permanent line-up of Jordana B., since the project has used different additions to the bass. The one who occupies this place now is Marta Movidas (a contemporary artist with whom Jordana B. collaborates on one of the last songs on the album).

But in addition to this, being an album that has been taking shape over the last 3 years we can find the sounds of different producers; Daniel Alcover, Guille Mostaza, the aforementioned Mané López and also Javier Aguilar (who brought the project to the scene with his more than successful production of Cumbia B.)
