If there is someone we can recognize for a rapid rise to stardom in the indie pop scene, it is undoubtedly Berto, a talented artist, singer, and songwriter based in Los Angeles, California, who has successfully carved out a significant place for himself within a loyal global fan base. His first release titled 'papi guapi' came to life on November 24, 2023, and since then he has not stopped amassing hundreds of thousands of streams on streaming platforms, reaching deep into the hearts of his listeners worldwide.
His unmistakable and unique style makes his voice immediately recognizable to those who listen to him, showcasing incredible skill as a vocalist over impeccably executed instrumental tracks, resulting in a rich blend of sounds where fans of bands like Tame Impala, The Strokes, and The Bravery will not only find various similarities, but also discover a new artist who will quickly become one of their new favorites and a must-have addition to their daily playlist.
Today, Berto returns, bringing an incredible surprise for music enthusiasts and once again taking his characteristic indie rock-pop sound to new heights. Through a new and captivating offering titled "contradiction," his latest studio release and the fourth installment in an intricate and extensive love story, Berto invites us to delve into a theme that is not often explored yet holds significant relevance in today's social landscape.
Through his catchy melodies and a spectacular vocal performance that effortlessly spans a wide frequency range that any singer would envy, Berto tells us about his experience with the end of an intense relationship. When it concludes, it begins to reveal those familiar 'empty excuses' we've all unfortunately had to hear at some point, and which, in the heat of the moment, we often overlook. Does it sound familiar? Of course, and that's because Berto has an innate ability to tackle these themes with incredible depth and ease, as though he knows our individual situation perfectly.
In a world where emotional responsibility seems to discomfort most people and there is a noticeable lack of courage when it comes to facing complicated romantic situations, “Contradiction” delivers an important message that highlights the dissonance between people's actions and the things they express through their words. It stands as a true banner of personal struggle that quickly lifts you out of that sense of uncertainty and constant questioning, offering in return a liberating sensation that leads to an auditory catharsis. This is not only due to its immersive and enveloping sound, but also because its lyrics seem to perfectly understand your feelings.
Officially released on April 4, 2024, “Contradiction” is the second promotional single in his discography. However, it positions itself as the fourth episode in a complete story through his experience with love, which will take album form in the coming months. This album will address his experiences from different perspectives, covering all its nuances, not only from a lyrical point of view but also by using his versatility across various styles and genres. An album that will undoubtedly be one of the most promising releases of 2024 and will soon be available on all streaming platforms.
Although Berto has not yet disclosed much information about the tracklist of this album, the artist has revealed in a press release that it is “A story about a relationship from beginning to end,” in which ‘contradiction’ is the fourth episode of his overall experience.
