Back in 2021 I remember coming into contact musically for the first time with the artist Javier Márquez, the album in question then was The Shelter Point, a powerful emotive release. Here some 5 years later I am lucky enough to be writing about the artist’s latest single Lamento en suspiro menor, and it was one of the most transcendent moments of the year with ease.

The multi-instrumental nature of this track is utterly charming, and the arrangement and calm production make this new manifestation from the artist one of the finest example of global neo classical fusion I have heard for many a year. Javier says it best when he states that “Lamento en suspiro menor is conceived as a process of sonic healing: a bridge between absence and acceptance, where emotion is transformed into sound, and endures as a contemplative experience”, a perfect explanation of this great beauty that rolls out before me and into my heart and mind.

Instrumentally minded thoughts go out to the sublime performances on this single, namely the tender tones of the piano of Marco Guerrero, the moving rendition of the violins of Encarnación Almansa and Modesto Berná, the depth of the viola of Esperanza Ortiz, and the reflective deepness of the cello of Antonio Fernández, and of course the composer himself on duduk, the masterful Javier Márquez.

For me this fluent masterpiece is everything it says it is and more, it does indeed bridge the gap between absence and acceptance, but more over it is a manifestation of something so beautiful and radiant, and without doubt it is a prime example of the utterly amazing gifts of the human mind-set. To be able to achieve this level of blissful class and superior tonal delight is something to indeed be proud of. One hopes that this is going to sail high up and the charts and hopefully rake in award after award it is that good, and it is definitely that moving and emotive that it would be advisable to add Lamento en suspiro menor by Javier Márquez to your playlist of choice as soon as humanly possible.
