Argentine singer/songwriter Malena Zavala has shared a new single, “Memories Gone,” from her forthcoming album La Yarará, out on April 17 via Yucatan Records. “Memories Gone” follows previous singles “En La Noche,” “I’m Leaving Home” and the title track. La Yarará will serve as the follow-up to her 2018 debut album Aliso.
“Memories Gone” is a yearning chamber pop number with Zavala’s gently caressing vocals guiding listeners through the confines of her mind. The brisk warbles of her 10-stringed ronroco add a poignant beauty and make this track feel as if you’re floating in a palatial dreamscape out of harm’s way. It’s a painful surrender to the limitations of one’s recollection, and Zavala unpacks each complex emotion with elegance, eventually building towards a curtain close of layered vocal opulence.
