Weekend Two Only.


Thoughts:  Today has been one of those busy work days where I have just let the music play without writing or moving from band to band, so I've been through her catalog a good five times by now.  Unfortunately, it is entirely in Spanish, so I haven't the foggiest idea what in the world is going on in any of these songs.

Vanessa Zamora Ramirez, also known as Zane, is from Tijuana, Mexico.  Her Wikipedia is otherwise bereft of much detail, other than her childhood musical skill and education.

Her tunes, despite being exclusively in Spanish, are pretty pleasant little songs.  Relaxed indie music.  Two albums, 2015's Hasta La Fantasia and 2018's Tornaluna.  Her top streamer comes from that first album, "Te Quiero Olvidar," which translates to I Want to Forget You, and has 4.9 million streams.
You know, a nice little indie track.  Full of lyrics I don't understand.  But still pleasant to listen to.  She has a weird thing on her new album, one of the tracks ("Hbls Mucho") just cuts off at 3:39, like right in the midst of music.  I can't tell if that was a purposeful thing, or if her album is screwed up on Spotify, or what.  Anyway, the newer album has better tunes - and that song is the top streamer at 830k.
Huh.  Yeah, that track just stops hard at 3:39 as well.  And then the video plays some more music for the credits, but I guess that was a purposeful thing to cut the song off in the midst of a groove.  Weird.

So, I probably am not gonna go watch this one, but its perfectly pleasant stuff...
