The story behind
When approaching Ni un segundo, we encounter a piece that, although part of the early career of Soda Stereo, already shows glimpses of the identity that would make them resonate. The composition of this song falls to the minds of Gustavo Cerati and Zeta Bosio, who laid the groundwork for a track that lasts 3 minutes and 25 seconds. This song was conceived in a particular context, that of the band's self-titled debut album, released in 1984.
The recording of that first album, Soda Stereo, had the particularity of being produced by Federico Moura, the frontman of Virus. The sound and lyrics of this initial work are distinguished by a humorous and ironic tone, very much in line with the wave of "fun music" that was shaping the Argentine scene in the early 80s. In this current, they shared space with groups like Los Twist, Viuda e Hijas de Roque Enroll, Virus, and Suéter. Therefore, Soda Stereo's debut album presents an air and sonority that notably depart from what would come later in their discography. The band's initial influences pointed towards the new wave of artists like The Police and Elvis Costello, as well as the post-punk of Television, laying the foundation for the evolution towards alternative rock that they would explore in later years.
