We have been hearing about the collaboration between Shakira and Manuel Turizo, ‘Copa Vacía’ for over half a year. A duet that was recorded a while ago and has been patiently waiting for its moment among their multiple and very successful drops. But with the arrival of summer, both Colombians are very clear that the time has come.
And that’s why they have already set a release date. Through the social media accounts of both artists, they have confirmed that this highly anticipated song will see the light on June 29. And the announcement of the audiovisual proposal promises to generate a lot of buzz, judging by the comment from Barranquilla: «We made a movie 🎥🧜♀️ @manuelturizo ‘COPA VACÍA’ arrives on June 29 at 8:00 PM EST.» The cover featuring the singer transformed into a mermaid promises to be very intriguing. In that artwork, Manuel Turizo seems to assume the role of Prince Eric, and Shakira becomes the popular little mermaid.
With the phrase «Tengo sed» («I’m thirsty»), they have once again teased a small snippet of the song’s sound. The same snippet that leaked many months ago and put everyone on the trail of one of the most talked-about collaborations of 2023. The release will catch the Colombian artist in the middle of his tour in Spain, so we will be paying close attention.
This upcoming song promises to make headlines. Some have already started analyzing each line of the lyrics in search of indirect or very direct messages related to the singer’s personal life: «You’re always busy with so much business. My love, it would be nice to have a little leisure. Relax here on the couch and give me your attention. The phone rings, use your hand with me. I know you’re good, but I’m even better,» sings the artist in this new song alongside Manuel Turizo.
The setting to shoot this music video was at the Parc Audiovisual de Catalunya in Barcelona (Spain), on the first day of March. They built a gigantic water tank there, where we can see the singer submerging with her new aquatic skin.
«Hace rato tengo sed, de ti yo no sé porqué. Quedó con ganas de más y queriendo beber de una copa vacía,» («For a while, I’ve been thirsty, I don’t know why. I’m left wanting more and wanting to drink from an empty cup») says the lyrics that we are dying to hear… The wait will finally be over on June 30th (in Spain)!
Shak’s new musical project is on track to become one of the biggest albums of her entire music career and, obviously, of 2023. In recent months, we have been able to hear different previews of this new studio album that, for now, has no name or release date on the horizon. It seems clear that rumors will continue circulating until an official project is announced, which could include hits like ‘Acróstico,’ ‘Te Felicito,’ ‘Monotonía,’ ‘Copa Vacía,’ ‘BZRP Music Sessions #52’…
