Beautiful

When approaching Beautiful, we encounter a piece that encapsulates a stage of sonic exploration for Gustavo Cerati. The song, whose title translates to "Beautiful," is distinguished by its amalgamation of electronic elements with rock energy. One can perceive how Cerati integrated the influences of electronic music he had been exploring, especially after the dissolution of Soda Stereo. This fusion is clearly manifested in the interaction between synthetic sounds and the textures of the electric guitar and bass, reaching a culminating point with a simultaneous solo of both instruments towards the end of the track.

This track belongs to Bocanada, the second studio work by Gustavo Cerati as a solo artist, released in 1999. This album marked a new beginning for the Argentine musician, being the first after the end of Soda Stereo. The gestation of Bocanada occurred in a context where Cerati had already released his first solo album, Amor amarillo, in 1993, while Soda Stereo was going through its final years. Bocanada is characterized by a strong electronic imprint, without neglecting its rock roots. Despite being one of the most resonant tracks on the album, Beautiful stopped being performed live after the album's presentation tour.
