Since the last Rock in Rio Madrid in July 2012, Amaia Montero He has not gone on stage again. He needed to disconnect "from everything" because fatigue, he says, "kills your illusion." Two years later he returns with charged batteries and a new album, "illusionada", although its lyrics seem otherwise. "Heartbreak gives me much more play," acknowledges the Basque artists in a recent interview. 'God willing, me too'(Sony Music) is, in addition to the title of this new work, the expression with which this "non-practicing believer" has wanted to summarize where her philosophy of life is currently going: surrender to destiny and whatever may come.

The duel must be passed », he values Amaia Montero, drawing a positive lesson from these stories. «Words», the simple introduction, shows that spirit and from the beginning it was a clear option for a "single", because for her she also championed the sound she has achieved with British producer Martin Terefe. Collaborator of other artists such as Jason Mraz and James Morrison, he highlights his ability to eliminate the superfluous, going "from less to more."
"I think the English sound is the one that best suits my music," says the artist, who recorded her previous albums in Milan and Los Angeles and believes that recording in London "has been decisive" in the final result, "a brutal evolution not only in sound, but also in lyrics ».
