Reaching The Top Of Your Career Takes A Ton Of Effort
Both artists know this firsthand. They’re constantly juggling concerts, events, interviews… So finding time to meet up and work on music together was tough, but they made it happen. “Honestly, coordinating our schedules was a nightmare because we were both so busy. We’d been talking about getting together for over a year,” explained the singer of Exclusive.mp3.
We spent ages trying to find the perfect moment until we finally managed to meet up here in Spain. We recorded the song in Madrid, with Andrés and Mauricio, our producers. We hit the studio and just started jamming, and everything came together naturally,” the artist revealed, confirming that the song was born in the Spanish capital.
When two people team up in the studio, the most important thing is to bring out the best in each other and create something they both feel comfortable with. That connection is crucial for making a great duo, and they definitely have it. “It really speaks to both of us. It’s super catchy and pop-oriented, which has really appealed to people because it’s different from the urban music scene that I love. But for this album, I wanted to break away from the norm,” Mernes concludes.
