It is kind of gaggy having her laying it all out in such a candid way. She rarely ever does that.
Not like it's a surprise, but reading her talk about how her career took third position in her life ever since she went into the relationship makes so much sense. The two albums she released in the midst of it truly represent her dip in quality for me. It's like she lost the spark to be adventurous and try new and exciting sounds, which wasn't always a creative success, but at least she was willing to go out of the box. Opinions may vary, but after the Fixation eras, She Wolf saw her enveloped in a different kind of glossy, poppy package she'd never really tried before; in Sale El Sol, she submerged herself completely in tropical sounds and revisited her guitar-led, songwriter-y phase (that's really always been there). And then... she released her self-titled album and El Dorado, neither of them actively
bad, but both definitely reductive and uninspired.
How she manages to fully reclaim that spark in a concise package... remains to be seen. But following her career is exciting again, because it's been a long while since we didn't know which way she was going to go. And she's even talking about a tour that seems to be pretty much set in stone, seeing how the article mentions it's a 24-city worldwide affair. Bring it on!
