It's the way we're losing most of the ballads from
MOTOMAMI in quick succession... You guys REALLY didn't want to let her breathe, huh.
"COMO UN G" is a breakup ballad. The title comes from her saying that she's swearing that she won't be coming back to date other men after this breakup since it was so heartbreaking. This is one of the most gorgeous ballads on the album. It fills a very particular void that the other ballads do not deal with, which is heartache.
The song follows the ethos of the rest of the album: minimalism. "COMO UN G"'s production is effectively led by a simple piano. However, this piano has some reverb and allows it to fill the soundscape. Despite the simplicity of the song's production, Rosalia's voice carries this gorgeous ballad. Her voice is in the upper register throughout it and fuck... she just sounds excellent. I mentioned it the previous track, but Rosalia's vocals are commendable. It comes as no surprise, knowing her background in music, but it's still impressive.
As I know most people aren't Spanish speakers on the forum, I know most are judging these songs on their melodies and "boppability", so I'm not
too shocked to see most ballads leaving first. In all honesty, that's what I do with K-Pop as well. Even though I'm learning Korean, it's still difficult to understand the songs. That said, even as a Spanish speaker, Miss Rosalia went to AGU (the Ariana Grande University) and did her degree on enunciation, because my goodness, some of these words just get lost sometimes.
