The prestigious magazine Popular 1, in its April 2024 edition, published a review of Red n’Rebel's new album, Sacred Energy, written by critic Rafa Gómez. In his analysis, Gómez highlights Ángel Jaraiz's voice, describing it as "huge in flexibility, speed, ability for nuances, and vibratos." According to the critic, Jaraiz, as the band's figurehead, leads a proposal that follows the path of their debut album but is solidified with a notable evolution.
The album is described as a "clear continuation" of their previous work, with full-throttle seventies riffs and a series of songs that the band will defend with all their energy on stage. In tracks like "Sacred Energy," "Someday, Honey," "Let's Go to the Sun," or "The Loser Way," the influence of 70s hard rock is evident, with reminiscences of classic bands that defined an era.
However, what really stands out in the review is the band's versatility, especially in songs like "Don't Stop My Music" (considered by the critic himself as "the best track of the collection") and "Candy Girl," which showcase a more varied and open side of Red n’Rebel.
The critic concludes that, far from being a "flash in the pan," Red n’Rebel has managed to build a solid career, demonstrating that, even though rock may go through tough times, the band is still capable of creating easily accessible music without losing any of its authenticity. With a rating of 7.5, Sacred Energy positions itself as a key album in the band's career, and a clear message that Red n’Rebel is here to stay.
A well-deserved recognition for the band, which continues its journey with the same passion and loyalty to its roots.
