After 20 years since "La Tortura," Alejandro Sanz and Shakira gift us a new collaboration: "Bésame." The track will arrive on May 23 as the first preview of Sanz's new album, titled ¿Y ahora qué?, and fans are already counting down the minutes. The announcement was made by the Spanish artist on his social media, accompanied by a video featuring images with Shakira and a snippet of the song that has already hooked us.
In the excerpt he shared, Alejandro sings with that characteristic melancholic tone: “I tell you the truth, if life is beautiful, you and she are so similar...”. Although Shakira can be heard in the background, this initial sample seems to be an intense and romantic ballad, featuring soft guitars and deep emotion, very much in line with what both of them do better than anyone else.
This would be the third time the artists join their talents, after the overwhelming success of "La Tortura" (2005) and "Te lo agradezco, pero no" (2006). The chemistry remains intact, as seen a few days ago in Charlotte (USA), where they surprised the audience by singing together during a concert. And of course, that spark on stage could only mean one thing: new music!
The album So now what? comes after a period of silence in the Spanish artist's career. As he confessed, he needed to reignite his passion for music, and he certainly has. The album will feature only six songs, but with luxurious collaborations: in addition to Shakira, Grupo Frontera and Manuel Turizo will be part of it.
So now you know: mark May 23 on your calendar, because "Bésame" is coming, bringing with it a dose of nostalgia, love, and great music. Shakira and Alejandro have done it again, and it seems this time they want to touch our hearts with a ballad that promises to stay with us for a long time.
And while we wait to enjoy the new collaboration from the singers, here are the other two they have to entertain us during the wait...
