Chilean trap star Gianluca makes breakthrough in new ‘Yin Yang’ LP, featuring Javiera Mena, Gepe and more
’s title track for example: the album’s latest single, and possibly its pop zenith. Last year, after getting hooked onhypnotic “On My Mind,” Gianluca was left with an itch to record a track soaked in Nineties house hedonism — stepping away from the headiness of previous releases, and embracing a bolder club sound. As the pulsating concoction began taking shape, Gianluca saw an opportunity to integrate a crucial voice in Chile’s dance music elite.
The balance between their wildly different vocal styles is also by design, with both song and album framed within Taoist philosophy. “The concept of the Yin Yang is the backbone of the record,” explains Gianluca, “which is divided in halves. At first, it’s dark and brooding, and later luminous with more romantic tendencies. In fact, the track ‘Yin Yang’ is the album’s half-point for that reason.”
The song’s Felipe Prado-directed video also embraces duality, with identically styled dancers performing synchronized choreography inside a circular set painted in contrasting red and white. The clip also casts Gianluca as a fashion provocateur, eager to continue pushing the boundaries of genre, gender and artistic expectations.
“From the beginning I decided to establish a personal aesthetic that was my own and unrelated to any particular canon,” he reflects. “Each project has its own aesthetic: [My first EP]was kind of serious and sober, because I was getting into this Internet aesthetic. Now forthere’s a whole [Eastern philosophy] feel, more production and a whole team behind it. The album sounds more personal. It sounds and looks like Gianluca and no one else.
