alfonsina y el mar
mercedes sosa, 1969
recommended for all of cortis
he poetically describes the writer’s lonely walk toward the sea, reflecting on the anguish and suffering that led her to take her own life. he imagines her eternal rest and transformation into legend, cradled by shells and sea mermaids, masterfully interpreted by mercedes sosa.

a moving acoustic ballad by soda stereo, inspired by the moment gustavo cerati’s family learned of his father’s cancer diagnosis and how they faced the devastating news together.

the smiths, 1987
recommended for juhoon
juhoon listens to the smiths so I need him to listen to my favourite song from the smiths. It’s a bit sad but comforting.

every dawn’s a mountain
tamino, 2025
recommended for all of cortis
i think that this could be juhoon’s style, but at the same time i feel like all the members enjoy calm music as well, judging by their recommendations. tamino is an extremely talented belgian-egyptian singer and i can definitely recommend all of his work, but i chose his most recent album. every dawn’s a mountain is essentially a conceptual exploration of loss, change, and letting go. in his music, he pays a lot of attention to the instrumentals, and you can really feel that while listening to this album. his emotional and magical voice blends beautifully with the ethereal, sometimes even angelic, instrumentals. for instrument enthusiasts, he often uses ancient instruments such as the oud, which is also what makes his work so unique and admirable.

ali, 2023
recommended for all of cortis
ali (@ali_radio) is a musical project originated from jakarta-indonesia bringing mix of middle east groove with indonesian 70s rock sound, afrobeats, and even soul & disco twists. since they all seem to enjoy rock & are open about various musical genres, i think the members will enjoy this band as much as i do for their eclectic flair and funky vibes. i'm also more than ecstatic to introduce the contemporary music scene from where i come from
jealousy
rubii, 2024
recommended for seonghyeon
i feel like he'd pay attention to the lyrics and relate to them to a certain extent.. her vocal tone is very lowkey but at the same time her delivery is delicious !! i think he'd love the instrumentals too! based off of his music recommendations so far (which imo has been rnb a solid amount of the time) this fits pretty well :)

niño
milo j, 2025
recommended for all of cortis
“niño” by milo j is a deep reflection on childhood, nostalgia and the emotional pain that comes with difficult experiences. its images of nature symbolize a simpler, purer time, contrasting the protagonist’s current sadness with his desire to return to innocence and unconditional love.
