In recent years, Argentine pop star Emilia became both a fixture of her country’s vibrant music scene and an accessible ambassador for it to the rest of the Spanish-speaking world. Interwoven with thematically contextualized commercial interludes, her emoji-accented perfectas showcases her in as bright a spotlight as ever with a handful of songs designed to make people move. Featuring fellow homegrown peers TINI and NICKI NICOLE, the subtly drill-infused hyperpop single “blackout” draws strength from the empowered bespoke trio and their flirtatious vibe. Similarly club-conscious, the thumping house of “pasarella” and the twinkling breakbeats of “beautiful” serve her stylish aims here reliably well. Not too far from the turn-of-the-century nostalgia of 2023’s .mp3, her millennial electro-pop throwback “servidora” conjures familiar feels while façade-shattering balladic closer “perfectas” aims to empower like so many pop hits of past with an empathetic plea for acceptance.
