"Como La Piel" is a CD release by the highly acclaimed trombonist, singer and songwriter Rita Payés, here appearing together with pianist Elisabeth Roma (R. Payés / R. Roma). The album unfolds as an intimate, warm and exquisitely organic journey through jazz, bolero, bossa nova and Mediterranean-tinged songwriting. Centered around Rita's velvety voice and lyrical trombone, the songs are arranged with great sensitivity: subtle piano harmonies, delicate guitar textures and discreet rhythm work create a spacious, acoustic soundscape in which every note can breathe. "Como La Piel" thrives on emotional nuance rather than bombast - it feels close, like a late-night live session in a small club. The production is deliberately natural and dynamic, emphasizing the timbre of voice and instruments rather than heavy studio processing. Lyrically, the album moves between tenderness, melancholy and quiet hope, with a strong focus on melody and phrasing that makes the music immediately accessible even beyond language barriers. As a physical CD, the release appeals to listeners who value tangible sound carriers, booklet artwork and focused listening from start to finish, rather than isolated tracks.
Rita Payés has emerged in recent years as one of the most remarkable young voices in European jazz, distinguished by the rare combination of expressive trombone playing and intimate, almost fragile vocals. Coming from a musical family and already active as a teenager in big bands and ensembles, she quickly attracted attention on the international jazz scene through her maturity, timing and emotional depth. Her collaborations and festival appearances have built a growing, dedicated following that appreciates both her virtuosity and her sincerity. "Como La Piel" is often perceived as a milestone in her discography, because the album crystallizes her very personal artistic language: rooted in jazz, open to Latin and chanson influences, and always carried by a strong melodic sense.
The CD is released by Pol, a label and manufacturer that focuses on carefully curated productions with a clear artistic profile. Rather than chasing mass trends, Pol tends to support projects that emphasize musical integrity, acoustic sound and coherent albums. This philosophy is reflected in the coherent sequencing, the detailed recording quality and the understated but tasteful presentation of "Como La Piel." For collectors and audiophile listeners, Pol releases are often associated with attentive mastering, focus on musicianship and respect for the work as a complete artistic statement. With this CD, Pol underlines its role as a home for artists who value authenticity and long-term musical development over short-lived hits.
"Como La Piel" is therefore ideal for listeners who enjoy contemporary jazz and singer-songwriter music with Latin flavors, who appreciate emotional depth and subtle interplay more than virtuosity for its own sake. It is a CD that invites repeated listening: new details, phrasing nuances and harmonic subtleties emerge each time, making it a rewarding addition to any well-curated music collection.
