OTHER ISSUES MMVV: 2018

PAULA VALLS

Paula Valls presents I AM (Satellite K, 2018), her first long-term work, produced by David Soler. A more intimate and nude work where the silences also speak, in a different register than their impressive EP debut Black and White, (RGB Suports, 2016). I AM could have come straight from the United States: black music (soul, blues and jazz) and more American folk are intertwined with the key influence that producer Joe Henry's style has had on Paula since childhood, in a recording made with a clear organic intention. Throughout the process she has surrounded herself with a team that has accompanied her while making her own path, and the result has been a live, square album that drinks from the spontaneity and improvisation in the studio, where the songs have set the standards, where authenticity has prevailed over perfection, as in a live show. On the I AM tour, Paula Valls (vocals, compositions) will be accompanied by David Soler (guitar and musical direction), Oriol Roca (drums), Miquel Sospedra (bass) and Daniel Ferrer (piano).
