Madanes – S.U.D STAR | alt pop / desire, dependence, and excess

Framing obsession as a disorder doesn’t make it less compelling—it just makes it harder to ignore. In “S.U.D STAR,” Madanes uses the concept of Substance Use Disorder as a metaphor for a relationship where desire slips into necessity. The track doesn’t romanticize the connection; it exposes its internal contradiction, where awareness of harm coexists with an inability to step away. Caught between attraction and self-destruction, the narrative unfolds as a cycle that can be recognized but not easily broken.

Sonically, the track sits within alt pop, leaning into melodic immediacy while maintaining its conceptual edge. Its accessible structure contrasts with provocative lyricism, reinforcing the tension between familiarity and discomfort. Madanes operates at the edge of the mainstream, using clarity in sound to carry a persistent emotional strain that keeps the listener suspended between impulse and restraint.

Desire beyond control

A narrative that lays out dependency without filters.

Accessible sound, uneasy core

A balance between melody and conceptual weight.

H. EDWARDS: "Sparks of Light", Folk, Vulnerabilidad y el Arte de Abrazar el Error | Entrevista – R+

Nos enlazamos a Santiago con Hernán Edwards para hablar de "Sparks of Light", un álbum que nace como proyecto paralelo a su banda Los Borne y que explora lo íntimo, lo acústico y lo orgánico. Hernán nos cuenta cómo grabó el disco en su casa, dejando los errores como parte de la honestidad, y cómo el duelo por la pérdida de su madre lo llevó a buscar la luz en medio del túnel. También hablamos de su rechazo a la perfección digital y de la vulnerabilidad como motor del rock. Una charla sobre autenticidad, sanación y conectar corazón con corazón. https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/album/2NUN4oE1NSpuKUslqe6Trqhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcw9xzYwPf4https://www.instagram.com/h___edwards_music
