Love Star – Felicidad
 |
  |
Each week we find a track from an artist or a band we’ve been enjoying and bring it to you, for free, as our Canción de la Semana. Love Star’s Betty Boop-like frontwoman Adriana Fernandez sings like a Spanish-speaking Tony Basil, channeling much of her early ’80s joie de vivre. The rest of the trio — Will Alves on guitar and Joe Torres on bass — work together to create a kind of retro alternative pop that refuses to be blue. “Felicidad” is about as pretty as tunes get with its peppy backbeat and perky chorus. But it’s the somber New Wave chord changes lurking in the background that suggests a deeper dimension.
