His love of darkness and bold sounds are reflected in his music, while his lyrics bring out the beautiful side of sadness.

On November 20, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/phoebebridgers/?hl=en">Phoebe Bridgers</a>, an American singer-songwriter originally from Los Angeles, California, was one of the most electrifying (and eclectic) proposals on the Corona Capital billboard. Within the framework of the festival, &nbsp; We talked with the interpreter about her inspirations and desires .
In love with Mexican culture and our country, Phoebe begins by telling us about how much she enjoys spending time on this land. Something that invariably fascinates her: &nbsp; folklore and tradition . Death, skeletons, ghosts. &nbsp; The dark exerts such a fixation on her that it is impossible for her not to recognize the differences between our beliefs and the representation of the macabre in other parts of the world , especially in the United States.
For Mexicans, the &nbsp; death &nbsp; It borders on fun, daring, almost an invitation. As Octavio Paz would say: &laquo; Our cult of death is a cult of life &raquo;.
"I also gravitate towards that," the interpreter confesses. She loves reading Gabriel Garc&iacute;a M&aacute;rquez and Carmen Maria Machado (author of &nbsp; Her Bodies and Other Parties , a collection of macabre and disturbing tales revolving around the body and sexuality); For Phoebe, in American culture, what is scary is seeing a skeleton or a supernatural entity in a horror movie, something obvious; here, on the contrary, the ghost is something accidental, &ldquo;it is taken for granted because it is part of daily life, it is nothing out of this world. The gloomy thing is in other more mundane details. &nbsp; That is the irony of the Latin American narrative &raquo;.

Recently, she became Sally (character in &nbsp; The Nightmare Before Christmas , a Tim Burton film) to interpret the famous theme alongside Danny Elfman. A dream come true, as Phoebe admits that she always dreamed of being Jack Skellington&#39;s iconic girlfriend. That love for darkness moves him to his music and brings out the beautiful side of sadness, contrasts, the true essence of nuances. &nbsp; Always with a hopeful tone , like the moon that he uses on the stage of his most recent show: &quot;it grows and grows until it outshines the sun.&quot; And its shine is just as beautiful and powerful.

Her style has several ramifications, including metal (a genre of which she declares herself a follower). &quot;I love him because he&#39;s very direct, &#39;in your face,&#39; and that can be weird too.&quot; Like other artists of her generation, such as &nbsp; <a href="https://www.lofficielmexico.com/pop-culture/jesse-jo-stark-en-entrevista" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesse Jo Stark</a> , the Californian artist wants to bring to her music the rebellion of youth, both personally and politically. &quot;Whatever is true for you. &nbsp; I feel very strong about many things , &nbsp; including music . It is important to be yourself. I remember that when I was a girl, my favorite bands criticized the government and the president; it was disruptive, definitely. Now I feel that, in the music scene, the discourse revolves around celebrities and more superfluous things. Somehow, politics became boring for these generations, I suppose because of the inevitability of corruption. And we get used to it. However, &nbsp; Standing up for what&#39;s right is a responsible way to make music .&quot; Although he also likes something more relaxed, &quot;like pop-country,&quot; he says with a laugh.

As for music and fashion, both artistic expressions in all their splendor, he says he does not follow one &nbsp; aesthetic &nbsp; determined, he only " knows it when he sees it ". He tells us about the skeleton suit he wore to the Grammys: " I saw it earlier at the Met Gala and I thought &nbsp; ' That's amazing '. &nbsp; I only choose what for me is fun and exciting &raquo;.
The composer also ends this interview by confessing that she is curious to know what her next production will sound like.
We thank <a href="https://www.lofficielmexico.com/estilo-de-vida/sofitel-hotel-ciudad-de-mexico" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sofitel</a> M&eacute;xico for the facilities provided to conduct the interview with Phoebe Bridgers.
