Blue Capricorn Delivers Masterful Tune ‘FANTÔME, JE NE RESSENTIRAI RIEN’
Blue Capricorn, the brainchild of Latinx and Dallas-based multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Rodrigo Caraballo-Marin, is making waves in the music scene with his genre-blending and sonically adventurous projects. Renowned for his ambient moodiness and eerie soundscapes, Blue Capricorn draws inspiration from a diverse array of genres, including dream pop, jazz, bolero, and experimental music. His influences range from the atmospheric stylings of Nicolas Jaar and Portishead to the emotive sounds of Billie Holiday and Frank Ocean.
His latest single, ‘FANTÔME, JE NE RESSENTIRAI RIEN,’ features the enigmatic Jacks Haupt and stands as a testament to his unique approach to music. This track was meticulously crafted to highlight Haupt’s talents while immersing listeners in Blue Capricorn’s signature sound. Rooted in ethereal drum machines and synths, the song’s melancholy vibe weaves together elements of trip-hop and experimental indie, creating an emotive and complex auditory experience.
The collaboration between Blue Capricorn and Jacks Haupt is a serendipitous blend of creative energies. Rodrigo describes Jacks’ music as reminiscent of a modern-day Amy Winehouse with a clear influence from 90s trip-hop. He had long envisioned a track steeped in the essence of trip-hop but knew it required the right collaborator. Upon discovering Jacks’ music through a friend, he realized she was the perfect fit. “She has the voice, the energy, and the niche for it,” he reflects. Their collaboration took shape when Rodrigo sent Jacks the instrumentals and backing vocals, which she eagerly embraced. The track came to life in a single night at Michael Briggs’ studio in Denton, Texas, encapsulating the raw and spontaneous energy of their creative partnership.
Blue Capricorn’s versatility as an artist shines through in this latest release, demonstrating his ability to craft emotive storytelling through captivating productions. His music consistently delivers an atmospheric and haunting vibe, inviting listeners into his meticulously constructed soundscapes. With high production values and an ever-expanding creative vision, Blue Capricorn is steadily carving out his niche in the music industry.
As he continues to evolve and experiment, Blue Capricorn remains committed to his love for music, pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories. ‘FANTÔME, JE NE RESSENTIRAI RIEN’ is not just a single but a glimpse into the future of an artist who is unafraid to blend genres and create something truly unique.
