Out with an all-new rendition of the Dua Lipa track “IDGAF,” Alyn Magadia is out to prove that there’s always room for added creativity and a fresh, new perspective when it comes to classic songs.
Although the music is dubbed as “bossa nova,” listeners will almost instantly realize that there are more sonic layers, influences, and styles from other genres at play, working in perfect synergy; as the track plays, you can hear a lot of sophisticated pop and R&B elements – effectively delivered by Alyn’s disarmingly melodic vocals.
“There’s always been this notion about bossa nova being one-dimensional,” she begins to explain, when asked why she found herself drawn to the musical style.
She adds, “Understandably, it used to be considered as elevator music, or something that was very light and always just in the background – until it blew up more than a decade ago in the country...but then, it seemed to always be on the “safe” side of things – there wasn’t much room to play-around with and change the formula, which is why I’m hoping I could do just that: breathe new life into the sound, and let people hear that it’s okay to really play outside of the box.”
Alyn Magadia is an up and coming Bossa Nova singer.
