The Mexican artist assures us that “what motivates us most to live is definitely the love of a child, of God, of life, or of someone’s partner.”
On the eve of Valentine’s Day, the Mexican singer Yuri post your new topic, “Where am I?” devoted to broken hearts. But in an interview with Efe, she confesses that she feels the opposite: “How can I not believe in love after being married for so many years?”
The singer, known as the Mexican Madonna as a young woman, would have liked to sing a love song because “what motivates us most to live is definitely love: a child, God, life, or a partner,” although she acknowledges that artists have done. to give a voice on certain occasions to those who cannot say what they would like to say.
“I am the spokesperson for those who want to tell their story and cannot. Being a grown woman and having failures in my past life gives me the strength to sing those stories, ”says the artist, who remembers that as a young woman she had many problems that she could solve through Christianity.
The theme’s creator is Joss Favela, a 30-year-old songwriter who started out writing regional Mexican songs, but has recently created songs for artists of other genres.
“Two years ago I met him and I really liked how he interacts with people who sing his songs, it’s not like others who tell you ‘I’ll send you my songs and the one you like, tell me’, no, he says ‘for me I like to meet the singer, I like to vibrate him, to feel him’ ‘, explains the artist who popularized hits as’Damn spring “ The “A blackout”.
Comfort for many
“Where am I?” It’s the perfect song for the current era, he adds, as many couples have a hard time living or breaking up and some even break up.
“The theme is very common and without us wanting to, we give people what they are currently experiencing, say. Covid has caused many people, all people physically, emotionally and spiritually, as well as couples a lot of problems, ”he says.
Yuri does not stop innovating in his costumes, styles and musical genres that he enters. In “Where am I?” returns to ballads after venturing into the urban genre with Puerto Rican Nio García and returns to the blows that life gave him to be able to play this song, which premiered on Friday.
“As an eighties, I always like to refresh myself with new waves of current genres and also in fashion, everything. I like to search, I like to renew myself, always giving my audience different things, ”he says.
Yuri’s empowerment
And while the song is compatible with his most common repertoire, the video is risky again, showing up with at least six most eccentric outfits, some with more vibrant colors and others with rhinestones and gold.
It was also filmed on the well-known Uayamón farm, in the southeastern state of Campeche, a place where the singer has wanted to film for five years.
“This (hacienda) caught my attention because of its landscapes. Because of what this song entails, which is very melancholic, I wanted something like old, something that tied a lot and it was perfect. (…) I wanted to record there for five years because I love antiquity. My mom loved antiques and we even have a small museum in my house, ”she said.
The music video adds another meaning to the song, as a woman is seen as “broken with pain” but with strength, something that Yuri likes to convey through costumes and make-up.
“Women must be beautiful, beautiful and articulate. It doesn’t matter if they leave you, turn the page. You are beautiful, you are worth it and empowerment is that to me: appreciating myself. That is what I want to show separately, I am always aware of trends, I also want to say ‘my love you are worth it, love yourself, love yourself, feel beautiful’ ” says the singer. EFE (E)
