The networks, once again, have anticipated the publication of the new joint EP by Rosalía and Rauw, R?. The three songs that make it up have leaked a few hours before their official release, this coming morning, according to the Efe agency.
The new work, the sentimental couple’s first together, includes the bolero Promesa, which includes some disruptive electronic arrangements and in which the Catalan sings “A promise is never to look back, if you asked, I’d swear to you again.” Along with this theme, two others with a danceable rhythm, although they are also different from each other. On the one hand, Beso, a sensual cut to perrear in which the artists proclaim the force that attracts them, with a curious start that seems to be played by a harpsichord with the air of a classical music canon.
The sound of Vampiros is more gloomy and atmospheric, with a deep and dark synthesizer that remains as a base throughout the entire song and in which they repeat potentially iconic verses such as: “My gun has no safety, it shoots itself” or “You know that tonight we’re going to hell”.
The three songs have been composed between both artists, who have recognized that sometimes they had differences in terms of musical aspects, although not so much in the lyrics. In a recent interview with the youtuber Ibai Llanos, Rauw Alejandro pointed out that working with Rosalía “is difficult, she is a bit intense”, while the Catalan has indicated that, although she “flows” more, the singer also “has his vision, his way to do, his way of writing, his style. And he has character”.
The previous filtering of the songs already happened in the previous release of the artist from Sant Esteve de Sesrovires, LLYLM (“Lie like you love me”). Once again, one of the ways in which the new topics have gone viral ahead of time has been through instant messaging applications such as Whatsapp.
Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Cardi B, The Weeknd, James Blake or Billie Eilish are some of the many collaborations that the author of “Malamente” has established in recent years, while Rauw Alejandro has also reaped notable success in his approaches to figures like Daddy Yankee or Shakira.
