Neil Potter, a Liverpool-based singer-songwriter, is the artist we are featuring in our post today. On 29th August, he released his latest single “Música El Idioma Del Amor (My Sweet Señorita),” a strong and bright taster of his upcoming debut solo album, Out Of The Fjords And Into New Found Lands. Let’s talk more about it
The intro of this song, gosh this intro. It was everything. Latin-infused guitar melody that will get you delusional, so delusional that, you will think you are a professional dancer, about to do the tango.
Let’s get into the theme of the song. This is a straightforward love song about Neil’s partner. His partner is partly Spanish and likes reggaeton music. In the song, we meet a character who is gleefully celebrating his partner. He glorifies her and is very proud to show her off. Through the lyrics, we feel like we know this señorita, the character’s señorita.
Let’s talk about the technical aspect of the song. The song features a melody that attempts to combine a song with a Spanish guitar and a reggaeton beat, which is played by striking the guitar. Tony Draper (former head engineer at Parr Street Studios) mixed the song, which was mostly recorded in his home studio, with drums tracked at the iconic Motor Museum Studio in Liverpool. Sean Magee mastered it at the world-renowned Abbey Road Studios in London.
The song was inspired by the time Neil’s partner took him to Spain for the first time, and he was completely blown away by the richness of the culture. Later, they went to Seville, Spain, the home of flamenco guitar, where he fell in love with and, which he studied This is also obvious in the music through the playing and harmony.
Potter’s “Música El Idioma Del Amor” is not just a song, it is a love letter to the Spanish culture and to Potter’s partner. This is how to appropriate culture, by celebrating it. This was a tasteful showcase of his distinct blend of styles, seamlessly incorporating Spanish lyrics with his signature rock and progressive sound. The single showcases his flexibility as a musician and storyteller. I loved this song so much, I loved that it made me delusional and helped me to live my fantasies of being a tango dancer. I can’t wait to hear more music from him
