When I was out recently in Gran Canaria on holiday I happen to come across a video of a Spanish singer I hadn’t heard for ages. Her name is Monica Naranjo (official site, MySpace) and was/is of the those gay divas that I used to hear everywhere in gay places, and everybody loved.
She sort of stopped releasing records for a while and the last big one was back in 2000. She was also pretty much limited to the Spanish market so I pretty much didn’t hear/see anything since I moved to London.
Looking at her videos it’s not surprising she was such a gay diva, or at least the videos are a result of it.

So when I came back I did a bit of research and was happy to see she’s released a new album called Tarantula and there’s a new video out for her song Europa (see lyrics in Spanish) with some dark and apocalyptic undertones. The album quickly made it to number 1 on the Spanish charts so I hope she’s back for good.
