RUSH, is an album that marks a significant turning point in Fitasha’s career. With her third full-length release, the independent singer-songwriter from Madrid steps into a new era of self-empowerment, blending genres and languages to reflect her complex artistry. From the very first note of the album’s opening track, “FAMOUS,” listeners are introduced to an artist who is unafraid to take control of her destiny. The track sets the tone for the entire album, with its blend of jazzy hip-hop rhythms and soulful delivery acting as a sonic backdrop for Fitasha’s lyrical message of self-determination.
“FAMOUS” is a powerful manifesto, one that positions Fitasha as the architect of her own future. Describing it as her “villain song,” Fitasha speaks to the internal struggle she’s faced in navigating a music industry that often seeks to mold her into someone she’s not. This track, which fuses rhythmic percussion with playful melodies, is an empowering reminder that the path to success is one she will chart herself, regardless of outside pressure. As she says in the song, “I decide,” and in RUSH, she makes good on that promise, delivering an album that is undeniably hers.
Throughout RUSH, Fitasha masterfully weaves in her multifaceted influences, blending everything from neo-soul and R&B to drum and bass, jazz, and hip-hop. The result is a dynamic album that is as unpredictable as it is compelling. Tracks like “Oasis” and “Sombra” showcase her vocal range, moving from sultry and soulful to sharp and commanding, all while maintaining a cohesive sonic identity. Fitasha’s ability to experiment with sound while staying true to her own voice is one of the standout qualities of the album.
Thematically, RUSH is a journey of self-discovery, exploring themes of strength, survival, and love. Tracks like “Fuerza” and “Redemption” dive into the emotional depth of Fitasha’s experiences, offering moments of vulnerability without losing the unwavering confidence that defines her. The balance between introspection and empowerment is what makes RUSH such an impactful listen—Fitasha invites us into her world, but never lets us forget that she is in control of the narrative.
