Nine songs in the semi-finals Benidorm Festival. 26 songs in the Eurovision final. “The danger in them is one, the other, the other, the other, and you can’t find out what you’re hearing. So I thought the best way to find out what’s going on in someone’s ear is to stop everything.” This is how Alice Wonder sees it, as she embarks on an adventure in Benidorm.
The artist is at the door of the media to present his song Benidorm Fest live for the first time, in which he showed five more songs representing his new sound at the concert he held at La Riviera in Madrid last Thursday.
This ballad, “I Want”, is the discordant note in Alicia Climent’s new vocal spectrum, which she describes as “something pretty daring,” from rock to hip hop. Despite the gender difference, introductory song Benidorm Festival shares “distorted sounds” with the rest of his new music” like those who fill in the second part of this composition.
Again, The first part begins with almost a cappella, with almost no instrumentation. “Hopefully I’ll create an atmosphere where it seems to have stalled a bit over time.That’s what I want to achieve so you can enjoy the moment”.
The young artist caused a sensation in the music world thanks to his incredible vocal talent. With his famous national and international collaborations such as Xoel López, Rayden or David Fonseca, he has managed to attract the attention of the media and the general public.
His great rise to fame came much later. Emotional interpretation of Antonio Vega’s song ‘Lucha de gigantes’ as a tribute to the victims of the pandemic. His voice moved everyone present, including him. Queen Letizia, who couldn’t help but get excited when she heard him sing.
In an interview with Cadena 100, the singer naturally talked about her next meeting with the Kings of Spain. “They were escorting me to security and I asked if I needed to say hi and they said ‘one on one’. We talked about everything and I liked the vibe they gave me,” she said.
He’s been preparing for his performance at Benidorm Fest for three months, although he’s combined it with his concert this Thursday. Wonder explains that this means “hard work and professional growth”: “This affects you at the business level.”
With the wardrobe “forewarned” and staging ready, he sees the week in Benidorm as a “vital” experience and that he can “grow” as he wants to make it something “very familiar” with his crew. “The backup singers I brought in are friends,” he explains.
A shocker for Benidorm Fest
In the chat, Alice Wonder states that she tried to release the tension and did not get too involved in the competition until she slapped herself. It’s not figurative, but that meaning can be seen as well.
And he fell off on his bike a few days ago: “I lost consciousness, six stitches they already had in my face and all of a sudden everything went crazy, the ambulance cut my clothes, gave me an injection. After all, it’s a shame to think that at any given moment you hit a rock on the bike and all that stress is worthless. It was like tension”.
Thus, it served to “positively relativize” the situation and tension, although it would give “the desire to achieve the maximum, to perfection.” “I feel very lucky to be there and I want to see how far I can go.”
What would Alice Wonder wish for Benidorm Fest 2023?
Actually it says:I did not participate in Benidorm Fest because I want to win it and definitely represent Spain, I want to try myself in that position. stress, having to nail it in a very measured minute. It’s a situation that develops you professionally, and if people in Spain want me to represent them, it’ll be a joy, but if I don’t, I’ll understand: I don’t agree with the pressure to disappoint or win. an audience. It’s more like this: that’s who I am and see if you like it”.
In this line, Wonder points out that for Eurovision, Spain will choose “what the body wants right now”.. “We are many things, and I believe I represent a part of the human being that is also in Spain, it’s not the most pop or the most classic Spanish, but I believe I represent something very human at its core. the fragility of each of us, the failure, that selfishness that each of us carries inside, that sensitivity and that art”.
He states about Eurovision that it “is very unlikely to happen” and therefore “I would never have imagined” and “also” would give “everything” in this “very, very strange” experience. “Something so weird, so crazy that you’re suddenly acting on behalf of so many millions of people that you can only go with the best intentions and work hard and see what happens,” he says.
“I want to” is the title of the song. So what would Alice Wonder want? without always being obsessed with making something out of it, just letting go and making sure that I put my effort and my heart into family, friends, work, whatever, and that it’s all around me and it’s a global consciousness”.
Alice Wonder will perform in the first semi-final of Benidorm Fest on January 31st.. If she wins the skyscraper capital festival, she will represent Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, which will be held in Liverpool on 13 May.
