Miranda revives Argentine pop

In late 2003, critics praised the quintet's second album, "Sin Restricciones," as a positive step forward in Miranda's catchy techno-pop style. "Miranda renewed the pop/rock scene in Argentina after several years that had been dominated by the hard rock bands," says Charly Vazquez, senior director of music and artist relations for MTV Latin America. While Miranda's sound can often be described as catchy, bubble-gum techno-pop, the lyrics go deeper, with topics that include depressing holidays, tortured souls, magnetic romantic impulses and even sexual fantasies.
