Luz Casal has released this Friday her first unpublished song in five years, a song titled Hello, what's up. This new composition is a preview of what will be her next studio album, defined as "the most autobiographical" of her career.
According to data from the Galician star's record company, this new song is inspired by the conversations that the artist had during the pandemic with thousands of strangers whom she called on the phone when asked to offer comfort or company. It is a song full of hope and optimism, a hand outstretched in the midst of a difficult time to which the artist, always glued to reality, has not wanted to turn her back.
The return confirms Luz Casal, 64, one of the most internationally successful Spanish performers, as the indisputable reference of pop in Spain, a position built over four decades in which she has freely explored various genres and sounds.
"There are no songs of silence, sorrow or drama. I think it's the other way around: there are more songs that speak in the first person of aspects that I want to preserve, like maintaining innocence or at least removing the accumulated weight of these years, where It seemed that being innocent was being a fool," the star, who has the National Current Music Award to her credit, told Efe.
More recently, Casal (Boimorto, A Coruña, 1958) published Solo una noche (2022), his first live album, recorded during the concert he offered in the summer of 2021 in the Plaza del Obradoiro in the city of Santiago de Compostela together with the Royal Philharmonic of Galicia.
Of his new work, which will be his fifteenth studio album and will take over in terms of new compositions from Que corra el aire (2018), the title has not yet been revealed either. But it is expected that it will be released sometime in March after being recorded at the La Casa Murada studios, in Banyeres del Penedès (Tarragona), with the production of Paco Salazar, Paco Trinidad and Casal herself.
