After releasing Ejpol in the 2022 summer, Frankie Maloja didn’t waste time and immediately released his sophomore EP, Vórtice, another short project that continue to show his roots while giving space to other genres he wishes to explore across his career. Vórtice starts with “Pcem”, an acronym that means “Pa’l Carajo El Miedo” that shows some of the musician’s salsa influences before diving into his blend of atmospheric vibes and a little bit of reggaaetón that allows him to display his singing and rapping skills. Afterwards, “Penca” is an atmospheric, synth, and industrial mix that serves as a display of the artist’s Kanye West influences. Then “Diezyocho” shows how the musician is open to exploring his Caribbean roots while mixing them with some of his hip hop muses. Next “Positivo” is a combo of synthpop and hip hop that starts off chill before gaining some speed and then relaxing once more. Later, “Todo” takes a hypnotic guitar sample and blends it with some relaxing trap-inspired R&B that allows the musician to reflect on his needs while showing some singer-songwriter and Frank Ocean influences. After that, “Valle de Sombra Interlude” blends gospel and reggaetón so the artist can reflect on his goals and his want of leaving a legacy behind. Finally, “Fogata” is an electronic and dance-music inspired tune that’ll slowly end parties.
In closure, Frankie Maloja’s Vórtice is a continuation of the musician’s sound exploration as he shows a bit of his roots, but mainly focuses on blending genres and exploring music outside of his comfort zone allowing him to display his adaptability and versatility.
