Mon Laferte is already preparing a new musical project: “It will be more conceptual”

Chilean artist Mon Laferte (Viña del Mar, 1983) was enthusiastic about the referendum on a new constitution for Chile, in which she believes she will win “yes”, ushering in a “promising” time that will mark the country and Latin America.

“I’m sure of Chile The constitution will be changed and a promising future will come,” the composer, singer and artist admitted in an interview provided by Europe Press in Madrid, where he is on the occasion of his tour of Spain.

While polls in the South American country show a majority rejecting the draft Magna Carta, Mont Lafertewho had already read part of the document, although not the entire document, as he clarified, believed that a change was needed.

“I feel that with the new Constitution, better times will come for Chile and for the entire region. I have a lot of faith in Gabriel Boric, I am very positive,” added the artist, who lives in Mexico for years.

Mont Laferte She has been open about her opinions and political and social grievances, but has indicated that she only likes to do so when she has real feelings or momentum, such as when she protested at the Latin Grammys for violence in Chile, showing the message ” In Chile they torture, rape and kill, ”is written on his chest.

“After this speech, it is believed that everything I do should be a political statement, and I do not want it to be like that. Sometimes I just want to dance reggaeton,” he said of it, to say that since then he has also received “a lot of requests to raise his voice for others.

In that sense, he emphasized that he doesn’t like it when an artist is pressured by social media to have a political stance on something, because, in his opinion, “that’s where freedom ends.”

Mon Laferte is a feminist again

On this carpet, the Chilean woman also wore a green scarf tied around her neck, a symbol in favor of the legalization of abortion. She has declared herself a feminist, despite the fact that, according to her, it “still attracts rejection because there is not enough information.”

“There are still a lot of people who think that feminism is like machismo, so it causes rejection and titles like feminazi are invented, which is something extreme,” he lamented. Mont Laferteto explain that he felt “people get scared”. However, he noted that society is “beginning to learn and becoming more aware”: “There is talk of feminism and that makes me happy.”

In this line, Laferte also defended women’s freedom to motherhood, an experience she began with the birth of her first child after hormonal treatment. “I wanted to experience motherhood and physical pregnancy,” she said.

Mon Laferte after Carmen 1940: new project on the way

His son is now an ongoing “inspiration,” he stressed. Mont Laferte, despite admitting he “juggles all day” to reconcile his artistic side with motherhood. However, he continues to work and is now preparing his next project.

And the fact is that after Carmen 1940, which she published at the end of 2021 and which served to “channel all the madness and energy of hormones during her pregnancy”, she is now in continuous search and creation of her next work. although it is still “a very childish project”.

“I’m planning the next album even though I haven’t entered the studio yet. In general, it will be completely different. I want to do something different. Although my music sounds like old music, I always try to get ahead of myself. I can only say that it will be more conceptual,” he said.

Thus, he did not rule out trying new sounds and resources, always in fusion with traditional Latin American music, thus following something that he sees as a “trend”, a “return of the old”. “The old man always comes back, only there is fusion. For example, I really like C. Tangana and I feel like his music is very old school, but it has fusion in it,” he explained.

“The music of yesteryear will never disappear”

“I feel that in general, the music of the past will never disappear, it will only mutate and adapt to new times and trends,” he applauded in this regard.

Among these trends, Mont Laferte supports the use of autotune as an aesthetic resource and criticizes its rejection. “I love autotune. I think that what is used because the artist can’t sing comes from a very old point of view and the desire to confront and polarize,” he said, defending the talent of artists such as the Puerto Rican Bad Bunny: “Only he can create the sound it has, and part of its aesthetic is the use of autotune. And it’s amazing.”

Thus, he advocated to stop demanding so much from music, including lyrics. “There is no need to demand so much from music,” he exclaimed, while emphasizing that one should appreciate what it makes one feel. For example, he called for not requiring genres such as reggaeton to “educate” or “be right”. Which, in his opinion, is “out of place.”
