Some of Marc Anthony’s musicians who’ve been making music for years helped us out. The bachata song, we recorded with musicians from the Dominican Republic.
It’s all a challenge because I want to make sure we do it really well. What’s it like exploring music from other parts of Latin America and adding your own sazón to them? Your voice on “Adiós” worked so well with the cumbia. It’s like getting out of my comfort zone. I had never made a cumbia or a bachata song. It’s so difficult to choose a song, but the cumbia, bachata, and pop are my favorites because they’re genres that I haven’t done in the past. “Adiós,” which is a cumbia, is incredible. What are the songs on the album that resonate with you most today? It really shows a more vulnerable side of you. I’ve read so much more poetry since my last album and listened to much more music and I think you can tell. When I wanted to be a little more sexual, I could do it.
Now, I think you can tell when I say things more poetically, metaphorically, different, more romantic way, I could do it. I don’t want to say that I did it wrong before, but before it was a little more basic because I was a little younger, so maybe I couldn’t find the way to say certain things. What changed is that I can go deeper into a feeling or say something, but I do it in not as basic a way as before. What things changed for you as you were making the album? I love challenging myself, I love to get out of my comfort zone, and I think I got a lot better at songwriting. I grew so much as an artist and as a human over the past year. I’m so happy you noticed the maturity because that’s what it shows: much more maturity. I think this album showed a sense of maturity we likely hadn’t heard from you in the past. Plus, she experiments with “Adiós,” a trumpet-back cumbia song that drives home Becerra’s natural ability to take risks.įrom her boyfriend’s backyard in Argentina, Becerra talks to Rolling Stone about finding her identity through music, writing from a deeply personal place, and creating songs that even caught the attention of Marc Anthony’s camp. Songs like “Perreo Furioso” and “Mandamientos” tap into the trap-reggaetón Becerra has done throughout her career, but on ballads like “Desafiando el Destino” dedicated to her parents, and “Doble Vida,” written about a friend who was cheated on, she shows off her specific, yet relatable lyricism. “We made a studio with mattresses, turned on a fireplace every day - and you can even hear it on the ballad ‘Doble Vida,’” the Latin Grammy nominee says.
