There are artists who need to find their sound.<\/p>\n\n
And there are others who need to lose it in order to find themselves again.<\/p>\n\n
Something similar seems to have happened to Malva.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n His name is Carlos Segura Visedo<\/strong>; he\u2019s from Murcia and has been exploring that increasingly fascinating territory situated between Spanish pop, guitars, and a generation that no longer seems too concerned with determining where one thing ends and another begins. <\/p>\n\n Now she’s back with a song called \u201cVolteretas.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n It’s only 2:45 long.<\/p>\n\n But it contains a much more significant statement:<\/p>\n\n Malva wants to start over.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n And this time, he wants to make a huge splash.<\/p>\n\n \u201cVolteretas\u201d is the first single from Malva\u2019s upcoming album and also marks a major change in her creative team.<\/p>\n\n The song was produced by Tato Latorre<\/strong>, a producer known for his work with artists such as Andr\u00e9s Su\u00e1rez, Valeria Castro, and La Pegatina, and was recorded in Madrid and Barcelona<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n You can hear the change.<\/p>\n\n Larger guitars.<\/p>\n\n A rhythm section with considerably more weight.<\/p>\n\n Expansive production.<\/p>\n\n And a voice that starts off subdued but gradually builds until it reaches a chorus meant to linger.<\/p>\n\n It doesn’t seem like a break from the previous Malva.<\/p>\n\n It seems more like an extension of it.<\/p>\n\n It’s as if someone had taken the same photograph and zoomed in on it.<\/p>\n\n The short answer would be:<\/p>\n\n a musician from Murcia named Carlos Segura Visedo.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n An interesting answer takes a little more time.<\/p>\n\n Malva has been building her career for years. She\u2019s appeared on television\u2014including *Factor X*<\/em>\u2014performed at venues, and experimented with different ways to turn songs into a recognizable identity. <\/p>\n\n But he himself has explained that he considers Sensitive Content<\/strong><\/em> to be the true beginning of his current phase.<\/p>\n\n In an interview published in 2024, he summed it up quite clearly: he was proud of his past, but his artistic \u201ctruth\u201d at that moment was that first album. <\/p>\n\n And it’s important.<\/p>\n\n Because ” Sensitive Content<\/em> ” ended up changing Malva’s size.<\/p>\n\n The album was released on October 18, 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n Ten songs.<\/p>\n\n \u201cCollapse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n \u201cBroken Voice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n \u201cTwo Castaways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n \u201cBenidorm 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n\n \u201cAir Love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n \u201cFrom what I\u2019ve heard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n \u201cTwizy Ferrari.\u201d<\/p>\n\n \u201cNew Romantic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n \u201cYour perfect match.\u201d<\/p>\n\n \u201cI need to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n It was recorded at Arde el Arte<\/strong> in Murcia, produced by Ricardo Ruip\u00e9rez of M-Clan<\/strong>, with contributions from Mario Vigara and Ra\u00fal de Lara. <\/p>\n\n But perhaps the most interesting thing about the album was hidden in the title.<\/p>\n\n Two seemingly innocent words.<\/p>\n\n Taken together, they said a lot about the way Malva understood music.<\/p>\n\n There is a statement by Carlos from that period that is particularly interesting today.<\/p>\n\n We live surrounded by \u201ccontent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n TikTok.<\/p>\n\n Instagram.<\/p>\n\n Videos.<\/p>\n\n Streams.<\/p>\n\n Numbers.<\/p>\n\n Algorithms.<\/p>\n\n Reproductions.<\/p>\n\n Artists are forced to constantly feed a digital machine that never seems to have enough.<\/p>\n\n Malva went on to explain that she didn’t want artistic content to be reduced to chasing numbers or creating a viral TikTok.<\/p>\n\n I wanted to do something that someone would remember years later.<\/p>\n\n That’s why:<\/p>\n\n Sensitive Content<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n It was almost a small statement against music created solely to be played on a screen.<\/p>\n\n And it worked.<\/p>\n\n In 2025, an important confirmation came.<\/p>\n\n Sensitive Content<\/strong><\/em> was nominated for Best Pop\/Rock Album<\/strong> at the 2nd Spanish Music Academy Awards.<\/p>\n\n And it’s worth taking a look at who was around.<\/p>\n\n 84 \u2014 Bonita Resaca<\/em><\/strong> This is not an editorial interpretation: this is the official list published by the Academy itself. <\/p>\n\n For a debut album, it’s not bad at all.<\/p>\n\n And that wasn’t the only warning.<\/p>\n\n A few months earlier, Malva had been nominated for Best New Artist or Group<\/strong> at the 2024 LOS40 Music Awards in Santander. <\/p>\n\n That is to say:<\/p>\n\n Something was happening.<\/p>\n\n Perhaps he wasn’t yet one of those names capable of making headlines simply by announcing a song.<\/p>\n\n But he began to appear repeatedly in places where up-and-coming artists are spotted.<\/p>\n\n And then comes \u201cVolteretas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n The title works because we all understand the image.<\/p>\n\n Doing a somersault means losing your sense of which way is up and which way is down for a moment.<\/p>\n\n And that’s exactly what Malva uses when talking about certain relationships.<\/p>\n\n People arriving.<\/p>\n\n Changing emotions.<\/p>\n\n Contradictions.<\/p>\n\n Money orders.<\/p>\n\n Moments when what seemed stable is no longer so.<\/p>\n\n The press release describes the song as capturing precisely that feeling of losing one’s emotional balance and experiencing something that is beyond our control<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n But the production does something interesting.<\/p>\n\n Don’t turn that instability into a ballad.<\/p>\n\n It does the opposite.<\/p>\n\n It converts it into energy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n This is probably the most important musical aspect of the comeback.<\/p>\n\n The first album featured Ricardo Ruip\u00e9rez<\/strong>, a member of M-Clan, as a key figure in the production.<\/p>\n\n Now it says:<\/p>\n\n Tato Latorre.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n It doesn’t necessarily mean that Malva has changed her identity.<\/p>\n\n But the scale does seem to have changed.<\/p>\n\n \u201cVolteretas\u201d retains the melodic sensibility of their previous songs, but adds more powerful guitars, a more contemporary production, and a structure that\u2019s much more focused on the impact of the chorus. The song was recorded in Madrid and Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n That’s an important difference.<\/p>\n\n Because the next album won’t have to answer to:<\/p>\n\n Who is Malva?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Now the question is:<\/p>\n\n How far can it go?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n It’s also worth taking a closer look at its origins.<\/p>\n\n For years, Murcia has been home to a vibrant music scene that’s hard to ignore.<\/p>\n\n M-Clan.<\/p>\n\n Long live Sweden.<\/p>\n\n Bogot\u00e1 is on fire.<\/p>\n\n Kuve.<\/p>\n\n And a whole network of musicians, producers, studios, and venues that has turned the region into a particularly fertile ecosystem for Spanish guitars.<\/p>\n\n Malva’s first album was directly connected to that scene: Ricardo Ruip\u00e9rez, Mario Vigara, and Ra\u00fal de Lara contributed to its creation. <\/p>\n\n In fact, some promotional presentations have used a rather amusing expression to describe their city:<\/p>\n\n \u201cOur Manchester on the Peninsula.\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n The comparison may seem exaggerated.<\/p>\n\n But it’s starting to make some sense.<\/p>\n\n There’s another statement he made that really helps us understand the character.<\/p>\n\n In an interview with LOS40, he explained that he views an artistic career as:<\/p>\n\n \u201cA race against yourself, not a competition against anyone else.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n That fits in pretty well with the trends we’re seeing.<\/p>\n\n There does not appear to be any obvious attempt to focus on a specific genre.<\/p>\n\n Nor of becoming the next Artist X.<\/p>\n\n Or to artificially create a sound for a playlist.<\/p>\n\n There’s pop music.<\/p>\n\n Rock.<\/p>\n\n Singer-songwriter.<\/p>\n\n Irreverence.<\/p>\n\n Vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n Guitars.<\/p>\n\n And now, a much larger production.<\/p>\n\n The goal seems to be to find out how much Malva can grow while still sounding like Malva.<\/p>\n\n Here is a very recent piece of information that I find particularly significant.<\/p>\n\n The song just came out, and it’s already appearing on major discovery platforms.<\/p>\n\n In Spotify’s current lineup, \u201cVolteretas\u201d appears on Radar Indie<\/em><\/strong>, one of the editorial playlists specifically designed to discover and highlight new releases from the indie scene. <\/p>\n\n It also currently appears on playlists of Spanish hits from 2026. <\/p>\n\n It’s best not to make that into something it isn’t yet.<\/p>\n\n That doesn’t mean \u201cVolteretas\u201d is already a hit.<\/p>\n\n But it does mean something important:<\/p>\n\n The song has started to spread.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n And here, I wouldn’t just include the video as a simple link at the end of the article.<\/p>\n\n I’d rank it very highly.<\/p>\n\n Malva\u2019s new chapter isn\u2019t just being unveiled through music. \u201cVolteretas\u201d is accompanied by its official music video<\/strong>, which serves as a visual manifesto for this new era. <\/p>\n\nFirst, listen to \u201cVolteretas\u201d<\/h2>\n\n
Who is Malva?<\/h2>\n\n

The Academy of Music knocked on the door<\/h2>\n\n
LOS40 had also included his name among the breakthrough artists<\/h2>\n\n
A song about when someone turns your life upside down<\/h2>\n\n
Tato Latorre changes Malva’s size<\/h2>\n\n
Murcia is back on the map<\/h2>\n\n
Malva doesn’t want to compete with anyone<\/h2>\n\n
