Alejandro Sanz and ShakiraThey have a story that goes far beyond music. From The torturethat global hit that shook the industry in 2005, its artistic and personal complicity has been the subject of conversation, fantasy and illusion for millions of fans. Now, two decades later, they meet again in Kiss methe new theme that is part of the EPAnd now what?and that marks an emotional and powerful return.
“She is very perfectionist. For something is number one,” said Sanz, 56, in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in Spanish.
The musician explained that finding the right song was key to reunite in the studio. “We wanted something to move away from The torturebut cause the same. That he felt authentic, ”he explained. According to him, the process was not simple:“ First she had to approve. And that is already a job, ”he joked.
Alejandro Sanz spoke with tenderness and humor about the friendship that unites them for years. “The good thing about being friends is that we are never going to fight. The bad thing about being friends is the obvious, right?” He launched, rogue and added: “Everyone has that thing that we are always gathering.” This gave rise to an inevitable question: why have they not completed that romance that many dream? “Because no … I have my partner, I don’t know if she has a partner … but it is also that we cannot be fulfilling the expectations of everyone. Imagine! The imaginations are each one,” said Madrid.
About what really unites them, he did not hesitate: laughter. “We laugh together, and that is the key. We are free to spend jokes, to download. When we see each other, we free ourselves,” he said.
The musical reunion between Sanz and Shakira not only aroused nostalgia among their fans, but again lit expectations about more live collaborations. The Spanish has just shared the stage with Shakira at the beginning of the American tour of Women no longer cry, In Charlotte, North Carolina.
“It has been beautiful to sing again with her,” said Sanz. “Finding our sensations, with our sense of humor … that is not lost.”
The lyrics of Kiss me It only feeds collective fantasy: speaks of desire, urgency, undeniable chemistry and a love that does not want to hide anymore. With phrases like “Not even with all Colombia coffee I take away your aroma” either “The first is to make love to you urgently”the song slides between the sensual and the romantic, making it clear that theirs – less in the musical – remains pure fire.
What does Besame’s lyrics say?
But if the chemistry between these artists on stage sparks every time they coincide, as happened in the Latin Grammy of 2006 or in the recent Shakira tour in its past concert in Charlotte, North Carolina, when they listen carefully to the letter of their collaborations, those are loaded with chemistry that causes the inevitable escape of the most playful scenarios.
“I tell you the truth (uh) /If life is beautiful and they are so similar / In the end I dare to let fate decide / If there is any risk of seeing me without you / I don’t want to bet (ummm) “, Says one of the stanzas of the song.
And continue: “ I warn you from now / In case you did not notice this time ago this is no longer a joke /Not with all the coffee from Colombia I take away your aroma / To your mouth forgive / But I want to hit / You want to hit. ”
But the best comes in the chorus: ” Don’t think so much and kiss me / That the mysteries end / Kiss me at once / Zero fear vamo ‘really pa’ forward / Who hurts, to get on / You don’t have to go back /Better come stop behind the wheel / Don’t think so much and kiss me / That the mysteries end / Kiss me at once. ”
And if there is doubt: ” I wrote this song and a list of pending things /The first is to make love you urgently /The second stay for me always /The third is like the first /A but more urgently. ”
