What I really admire, is that it manages to mix both worlds: maintain that classic shakira that we all love, but at the same time show a completely new side of who is now, How it feels now and how it has evolved, ”said Littleton.
Although he has also worked with artists such as Beyoncé, Pharrell Williams and Megan Thee Stallion, Darina said very sincerity that his link with Shakira is special, thanks to the way in which the Barranquilla fuses strength, style and sensitivity in his presentations.
In the interview he also said that “It has been simply magical to see it combine both. In addition, the fact that it is so versatile has us all with your mouth open. That is, that new step you are doing now, that slide that was invented is exciting to replicate it.”
In a recent interview with The tribuneGonzalo Conde, better known as Bizarrap, shared what was working with the singer Colombian in the creation of that musical session, launched in January 2023. Bizarrap explained that, although each one has a different style, both shared a clear goal: achieve perfection.
“We continued editing, making changes. Shakira listened to each version and gave its approval or asked for adjustments,” he said. Sometimes, he counted with laughter, they had to negotiate, since she knew exactly what she wanted. “He told me ‘leave that part, but this change.’ It was an intense process,” he recalled.
