Love at first sight told on a lo-fi beat, with a narrative quality not to be underestimated
The meaning of ‘Porta Venezia’ is all in the narration of an encounter between the narrator and a girl, a scene that progresses gradually, in a almost televisual, between details and details with a high level of identification. In the midst of an intimacy that is created timidly and with amazement, I am there indie music, gin and tonics, low cost traveliconic neighborhoods, in short, many of the fetishes, symbols and moments typical of our daily lives and our stories, threaded into a tender and sweet story which will also be the sincerity and energy of Elam’s young and still immature voice, it sounds sincere and engaging. Although, there is no denying it, it draws heavily from the same clichés that we hear in many texts in the category.
Similar speech for the production, edited by Kiriku and Sema, which in the basic coordinates does not move one iota from standard chill/lo-fi beat adapted to indie songwriting, but manages to characterize itself with a languid guitar and dynamics, between grainy chords and free phrasing, which manages to pierce the loop structure. A bit like the text, written with the contribution of Luca Re, manages to overcome clichés with a good command of narrative timing and visual detail. ‘Porta Venezia’ is an inspiring piece sympathy, sharing to a feeling, a quality that not all the songs in the very crowded Indian/rap song championship manages to have, and we wait to see how it will evolve.
