Carlos Ucedda is an innovative and avant-garde rising artist that we have been featuring over the last few months. Recent releases include Open Poison, Black Rose – Your Chastity (Part Two), Inflatable e-Doll — Parte One, and Garden of Letters, so naturally, when we found out that Carlos was back with Dose Of Love, we were curious to say the least, and couldn’t wait to immerse ourselves in his universe once more.
Opening with a pulsating synth, cerebral static riffs, ethereal vocals and bold percussion hits, Carlos Ucedda opens Dose Of Love with a dramatic, progressive techno energy that expands with a mind-bending vocal performance to lure us into his mindset.
There are notions of Björk‘s All Is Full Of Love linked to the introductory hook, but what Carlos is manifesting is true to his own design. The raw mix lends itself to authenticity and we are mesmerized by the subversive dark-wave energy.
We appreciate the dynamic synth performance and the operatic elements that come to life – something that is becoming signature to Carlos Ucedda‘s overarching discography. There is a haunting vibe that transmutes, again, familiar ground for the progressive artist.
Carlos tells us, “This song is about love as both a journey and a waiting — the balance between distance and closeness, the hope carried like wings in the wind, and the embrace of the sun as a symbol of eternal connection.”
The accompanying music video sees Carlos Ucedda in the golden hour, maximising with the sun’s radiant energy. It is cinematic and well shot – minimalist in terms of editing and scenes, but maximalist in awe and inspiration, aligned with the concept of the track as Carlos showcases his choreography.
Speaking on the release, Carlos says, “After years away from music due to work, I am now ready to return and share my art with joy and versatility, exploring different genres and vocal registers. My roots are in lyrical singing, particularly Baroque and sacred music, with formal training from 1994 to 2004, including studies at Juventudes Musicales and the Centro Profesional de Música (Scaem), where I also joined a chamber choir.”
He adds with reference to his vast career, “I participated in masterclasses at the 1998 Manuel de Falla Courses in Granada with Helena Lazarska, and in 1999 earned a certificate with merit from The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. My past performances include venues such as the Auditorio Manuel de Falla, Teatro Isabel la Católica, and Teatro Huétor Santillán in Granada. Since reactivating my musical path in 2021, my aim is to continue creating and sharing music with as many people as possible.”
We have added Dose Of Love to our New Music Spotlight playlist and our TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to stream Carlos Ucedda‘s growing discography, and anticipate future releases from the talented artist.
