Following the success of her singles Fantasmas, Quiero, and Paradise, among others, Valentina Moretti now presents her latest release, tú y yo. This track, which sends a message of strength, hope, and determination, combines different genres ranging from synth-wave with sparkles of early Kraftwerkian techno melodies/vocals to dazzles of pop music that remind of 80s British synthpop like Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys, with powerful, edgy synth textures from the likes of Kavinsky and Daft Punk. Serving as a liaison between the present and what is to come, this song connects the current Valentina with her future version.
“The story behind tú y yo is a metaphor of my life that talks about overcoming fears, doubts, and social constructs through the power of self-love,” the Mexican DJ and producer tells when asked about the story that inspires her new release, with which she experiments with different musical genres but always keeping her own identity and sound craft. The song is narrated by the future Valentina to herself in the past, reminding her that she can create her own vision of the world where she can be herself, feel safe, and help others who are starting the same journey of transitioning into their true selves.
From being the first electronic music artist to participate in the Super Bowl to having had her face on the huge screens in Times Square thanks to the Spotify Equal initiative, with which the streaming platform seeks to empower women and promote gender equality in the music industry, Valentina has fulfilled many dreams in the last few years, consolidating her presence on the international scene with an electronic portrayal of music and discourse that relates in terms of a social movement to artists like Arca and Sophie.
