Dalex - “Maquina Del Tiempo” feat. Lyanno & Rauw Alejandro
Ahead of his third solo album, Unisex, the Puerto-Rican singer Dalex goes back in time with his “Máquina del Tiempo.” The single sounds like a retro ‘80s sci-fi movie soundtrack from the first stomped kick to the last analog synth effect. Not only Dalex and his peers, Rauw Alejandro and Lyanno, sing about lasting love and technologic fantasies, but they also rhyme over beats that seem to be taken from outer time and space. Once you hit the play button, it’s hard not to think of recent top-chart tracks like The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.” But going back in time will always be a great source of inspiration for pop music. — Felipe Maia
