After delivering FREEDA and CALO earlier this year, rapper and overall musician P.ANTHONY decided to close 2022 with FREEDA CALO, a project that compiles what seems to be unreleased tunes and remixes related to the experience. FREEDA CALO starts with “Amanecer”, a piano driven ambient hip hop tune with an interesting switch that presents the artist in vulnerable fashion as he displays some of his Residente influences. Afterwards, “Pistola de Papel” blends Caribbean and electronic sounds to create a unique danceable experience. Then “Dharma (Alma Brazileña)” features Isa in a different version to the original as this time Brazilian vocals take center stage on the song’s chorus along with its bossa nova sound. Next “Choose Wisely” is a collab with Tillie Gya where P.ANTHONY decides to explore psychedelic, dub, and reggae sounds. Later, “Irme Pal Carajo (Punk de Garaje)” is a much more hard rock-driven version of the Taiana collaboration. The sixth song, “Boquita de Manzana” is a rock n roll tune that presents the musician exploring his singing and autotune skills. The second half starts with “Predicador Metralleta (Armagedón)”, a remix that blends the Yeezus-era Kanye sound with some cinematic vocals that make the song feel apocalyptic. Subsequently, “El Carro de Toretto” shows P.ANTHONY’s hardcore lyricism over some experimental industrial production. Afterwards, “Ésta No Cuenta” is a brief behind the scenes into part of the creative process of the FREEDA CALO Experience. Following that “Amol con L” is love-driven boom bap production with a hypnotic piano that allows the artist to display his rapping and singing skills. Finally, “Once” closes the project with a song featuring some lowkey production that allows the artist to spit introspective bars.
In sum, P.ANTHONY’s FREEDA CALO is a collection of the experience’s leftovers and remixes that gives listeners a behind the scenes type of journey into the musician’s creative process.
