“It is what it is” is perhaps the motto through which I’ve managed to get through every single uphill battle and fight I’ve struggled with in my life. On “Eso Si Que Es”, this fascinatingly evocative and touchingly real mother-daughter give you a story that’s worth holding close to your heart. It’s about acknowledging and fully immersing yourself in the fullness of life, letting yourself experience every high and low, all the ebbs and flows as a singular experience that encompasses. The harmonies are a central pull to their music, so inherently gripping and intoxicating that you’re entirely left with a mixture of wistfulness, hope, and nostalgia all in one.
This is a folk song that checks all the boxes, a moral message that’s everlasting and hopeful and a performance that’s touching and piercing at once. Live your life by this code and everything feels just a little bit more romanticised for better or worse.
