Dedicated to her mother, all mothers, and the nurturing love we are all capable of, ‘Madres’ is a joyful debut of upbeat House and Electronica. While the first single ‘Si Te Portas Bonito’ transforms a solid kick and synth pads into a warmth, dusky, lowkey club track, ‘Vajkoczy’ couples minimal electronic ambience with a building backbeat on a track dedicated to the Neurosurgeon who saved Kourtesis’ mother’s life. Sung in Spanish and mixing the Latin American rhythms of her Peruvian birthplace with the club beats of her hometown Berlin, Sofia Kourtesis has created an album packed with depth, joy, and humanity that electrifies whether played from earbuds or a pounding PA. Bristling with life, ‘Madres’ captures a sense of life-affirming, invigorated renewal and leaves behind a palpable optimism that will light up dancefloors and have listeners reaching for Repeat.
