Zaragoza, October 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Spanish pop has a new manifesto.It’s called No Me Llames Artista<\/em>, and it comes from DELACUEVA<\/strong>, the musician from Zaragoza who has been busting clich\u00e9s with humor, vulnerability and contagious melodies.This Friday, October 24<\/strong>, the musician releases his long-awaited first solo album, a work that confirms what many already sensed: that DELACUEVA is not only a promise, but a reality of the national alternative pop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

“Soy Un Puto Criminal” is irony and emotional venting.<\/h3>\n\n

Among the ten tracks on the album, the focus track “Soy Un Puto Criminal”<\/strong> perfectly sums up the essence of DELACUEVA: a pop of sparkling guitars and playful saxophones, which hides under its danceable layer a story of heartbreak and redemption.“Tengo la piel de mazap\u00e1n y un coraz\u00f3n de mierda<\/em>“, he sings shamelessly in a chorus as catchy as it is brutally honest.<\/p>\n\n

The music video -directed by Vanilla Bloom<\/strong>, his fetish producer- is a delirious and luminous piece: the musician appears imprisoned, surrounded by a chorus of girls with balaclavas, in a choreography as clumsy as wonderful.A wink between punk and theatrical that has already become part of his identity.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Melodies, lyrics and attitude are DELACUEVA’s DNA.<\/h3>\n\n

The songs on No Me Llames Artista<\/em> work as a distorting mirror between laughter and hurt.There is pop fantasy<\/strong> and also emotional chronicle<\/strong>.There are stories to live<\/strong> (“Premio a Mejor Gui\u00f3n Original”, “Partido en Dos”), and scars narrated without filter<\/strong> (“As\u00ed Bailaban Los Muertos”, “Estoy Jodido”).<\/p>\n\n

DELACUEVA writes with acid humor and lyrical sensitivity, mixing cultural references with generational winks: from Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez<\/strong> to Arctic Monkeys<\/strong>, passing through Woody Allen<\/strong>, Art Attack<\/strong> or Digimon<\/strong>.In his universe, drama and irony do not contradict each other; they dance.<\/p>\n\n

Musically, the album bets on a luminous and cinematographic<\/strong> guitar pop, where echoes of Vetusta Morla<\/strong>, Leiva<\/strong> and Joe Crep\u00fasculo<\/strong> coexist, but with a seal of their own: round melodies, sharp lyrics and an attitude that alternates cheekiness with tenderness.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

A concept that questions the artistic ego<\/h3>\n\n

The title is not accidental.No Me Llames Artista<\/em> is a declaration of principles.DELACUEVA renounces the aura of the “artist” to claim himself as a musician and emotional craftsman<\/strong>.“I just write songs,” he explains. “Art happens when someone listens to them and something ignites inside. That spark is not created by me, it’s created by the audience.” <\/p>\n\n

In times where music is measured by reproductions, DELACUEVA reminds us that the important thing is still on stage, not in the algorithms<\/strong>.It is not a pose: before releasing the album, he toured venues across the country to present his songs live, before publishing them<\/strong>, as if the feedback from the public was part of the creative process.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Magic made videoclip<\/h3>\n\n

Each song on the album has its own visual universe.The music videos and visualizers<\/strong> created with Vanilla Bloom transform pop into performance: theaters inhabited by memories, car washes turned into tragicomic soul sets, impossible choreographies and surreal kittens accompanying lyrics somewhere between cheesy and brilliant.<\/p>\n\n

The result: a visually coherent and emotionally unpredictable work, where each shot expands DELACUEVA’s universe.<\/p>\n\n

They are ten songs without filler, recorded with organic energy and band soul.Pop with body and message.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

A benchmark in emerging Spanish pop music<\/h3>\n\n

At 31 years old<\/strong>, Manuel de la Cueva has already won the Aragonese Music Awards<\/strong> for Best Group (2021)<\/em> and Best Album (2022)<\/em>, as well as representing Spain at the Universal Expo in Dubai 2022<\/strong>.With No Me Llames Artista<\/em>, he takes a leap of maturity and confirms that his talent transcends local labels.<\/p>\n\n

The album not only sounds like the future, but embodies<\/strong> it with chutzpah and elegance<\/strong>.And yes, it’s probably – as he himself says – “the first time I know these songs are the dick.”<\/p>\n\n
