Songs dedicated to motherhood and children have been around for a long time. There are many artists who in their repertoire have decided to talk about their children, obviously from the love and infinite love of a father or mother towards their baby. What is not so usual and that is why it deserves special mention is that an entire album, from the beginning until the end, is dedicated to pregnancy, motherhood and the fruit of all this, the baby that comes to light his life.
This is what he has done Beatriz Montiel, better known as "Singing to Mom", when you recently published your album "Theta", which collects ten songs that are ten little jewels, ten moments of evasion, ten nannies for adults, ten moments of their process of moving from woman to woman and mother and ultimately ten windows to his life that tells us the experiences of a new mother.
What is theta?
As she explains to us, Theta is the ninth letter of the Greek alphabet, like nine are the moons in which a baby is born and the time it took Bea to make her songs public. Theta it is the frequency of the subconscious mind in which emotions, sensations, creativity, inspiration and memories are born, all closely linked to motherhood even before it occurs, even before conception, with expectations , the illusions, the desires, which are then fulfilled or not, which are then amplified or worn out, but which are and are when all that inhabited the mind materialized. Theta In Greek it is the way to say "Z" in Spanish, first letter of the name of his daughter, Zoe, secondary protagonist, but at the same time main, of this whole story. Y Theta is the pun to think about the Tit, source of food of his mother and grandmother and food now of his daughter Zoe and the disc that little by little, step by step, has come to compose.
Ten songs that he was writing since one day the thought of being a mother appeared and that served to start expressing feelings, doubts, fears, dreams, joys, concerns and moments that a future new mother may go through. Ten songs that he composed and sang as new events happened and changes arose. Starting by One day I thought of you, which could be the first moment in which a woman begins to feel mother, going through His name is Zoe, describing the thoughts towards his daughter, who grows inside, What will my baby dream of?, in those moments when you see that he sleeps a lot and you look at him for seconds, minutes, hours, without knowing what happens in his little head, Milk love, born from the difficulties with breastfeeding both and grows by getting a relationship through milk and Who's there, among others, which is the search for a recent, first-time mother, who lacks the tribe, those who give emotional support, physical support, accompaniment, in moments of doubt, fatigue, loneliness ...
I have heard it several times and, as I say, it seems to me a delicious cluster of notes and lyrics that make up intimate moments of his life (How intimate are the songs, always with few instruments and giving much prominence to his voice) that invite you to let yourself go, especially to those who already have children, to whom we are already parents, and surely even more to those who are Mothers, you will surely be reflected in more than one text.
Do you want to hear it?
Yes, of course you want to hear it. What a question. Well here you have it to listen and enjoy it. If you prefer, you can buy it through Bandcamp, to have it always available in streaming or download it for € 7. If you are more than having it in physical format, here you can ask for € 10.
Do you notice that I liked it?
The one you like more or less is obviously subjective. Maybe you listen to it and it doesn't generate in you (or you) the same thing that has generated me, but maybe because I had my time as a musician, singer and composer, maybe because I'm a father and I love to hear a mom sing beautiful things about motherhood and her daughter, perhaps because one day I was a child and, as I said, I almost think ten nannies for big children, perhaps because of all this, I have found such a beautiful and remarkable project that I can not hide my emotions. No, with music, no.
Therefore, talking with her, talking with Bea, we have agreed to share more words, so that she is the one who tells you through an interview how it all began, how it was developed and how it finally came to light.
