José Miguel Conejo Torres, known as Leiva, is one of the most prominent artists on the Spanish music scene. The man from Madrid was part of the renowned duo 'Pereza', which he formed with Rubén Pozo Prats. Since he embarked on his solo professional career, Leiva has not done badly at all, and several of his songs, such as Lobos or Como Si Fueras a Morir Mañana, have been great hits in our country. Now, the performer is preparing his new album, of which he has just presented a preview, Sashimi. This new song has arrived along with a video in which he appears naked, toasting and dancing.
In pure Lenny Kravitz style in the TK421 video clip, Leiva shows how God brought him into the world. After concluding the tour of his life, called When you bite your lip, the interpreter has put all his effort into showing the first preview of his next work. It is a lyric that dances about the clarity that appears after the storm, and dedicates some verses written to heal stress. Because "you don't have any real problems," he repeats in the chorus. The author tries to comfort his fans in the spiral of daily anxiety that, surely, plagues more than one of them.
The song Sashimi comes accompanied by one of the most intimate video clips of the artist's professional career. Leiva compiles recordings taken with her own camera, an analog Super 8 that evokes emotion and a vintage-style visual effect, and where, on many occasions, it is the artist himself who holds the camera. This gives a certain feeling of proximity and closeness to his followers, who even, at a given moment in the recording, have noticed that the artist appears completely naked facing the camera, while he takes a shower.
It is an emotional visual journey into his intimacy recorded between Japan, Mexico, the United States and Spain, where the experiences of a music star are combined. In the video he appears between dressing rooms, roads, studios, stages and hotels. In it, as we said, she appears with no more mystery than her daily life, jogging, cooking, showering, dancing or toasting with her friends. Without a doubt, this is the most intimate side of the artist, which he had rarely let us see before.
It was about two years ago when the interpreter opened up about one of the hardest aspects of his life. Leiva revealed that when he was only 12 years old he suffered an accident in which he lost complete vision in his left eye. "I had an accident very young, when I was 12, and I lost my left eye. It was very traumatic for my parents, but not for me," he revealed during a talk on the YouTube channel of Farid and Diego, Mexican YouTubers.
"Automatically, I stopped seeing with that eye forever, but the only thing I wanted was to leave the hospital to play ball. They told me that I was not going to see anymore because I didn't have that dimension. I couldn't take care of that. , so I automatically left because I wanted to live," explained the artist, who throughout his professional career has tried to highlight in his songs the positive aspects that one can cling to in one's life. Without a doubt, this new song promises to be one of the songs that his followers will connect with.
