Mystic Alpin's new album, "Badalada!" is upbeat, but it says something serious: we all want to live on our terms. That want, that effort to express yourself, is in the song's heartbeat. Sung in a mix of English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Austrian dialects, with lyrics you can feel in your gut that span from she's missing she's missing/ I don't care or wanna see her to no wonder quiero stranded/don't act like you ain't lion/ porque sabes como nuevo el bote it does what a lot of artists only dream of: pure, unhinged joy.
"Badalada!" pounds with infectious rhythm and attitude. It's a brash expression of the spirit of Generation Z, spontaneous, fearless, and fiercely free. It is a feel-good banger for anyone who has chased the sun danced barefoot at a festival or desires a reprieve from the routine. Progressive / Mystic Alpin appeals to a universal longing for freedom to enjoy, cradling it in an explosive cocktail of languages and grooves. Alpin by Mystic manages to find the balance between playful and purposeful. Melding four languages seamlessly into a pop song is no easy task, but here, it feels effortless. The transitions are seamless, the beat never wavers, and the vibe is Utterly electric.
"Badalada!" is about as promiscuous as a theater can get: It doesn't matter who or where you are, what language you speak by the second chorus, you are in. The track sounds like it was conceived on a rooftop blowout in Lisbon, shouted across a beach in Rio, and remixed in a Viennese club. With "Badalada!" Alpin Mystic takes it beyond a song with actual life advice, escape, and adventure. This is the song you play loud with the windows down, the one that makes strangers into dance partners. The revolution begins with a beat and concludes with every last person on the dance floor.
