Amaia unveiled a fresh track from her forthcoming album this Tuesday, titled The song I don’t want to sing to you. It serves as the latest preview of the project, following a first listen last Friday, May 13, and features a guest appearance by a friend, Aytana. The release marks a significant step in Amaia’s musical journey, inviting listeners into the evolving sound palette that defines her upcoming work.
Clocking in at two minutes and fifty seconds, the song sweeps listeners into an atmosphere that highlights Amaia’s transformed vocal presence alongside Aitana. Their voices blend with striking resonance, showcasing a wide emotional range and a commanding intensity that underscores the track’s expressive core. Universal Music’s early teaser captured the attention with the playful line, “Do you want to be my friend? Eat my figs!” signaling a bold, character-driven release that leans into bold storytelling and memorable hooks.
The accompanying video, directed by Virgili Jubero and produced in Canada, places Amaia in a retro vignette set in the 1950s and 60s United States. The narrative follows a romantic arc featuring a partner styled as Elvis Presley, infusing the clip with nostalgic imagery and cinematic flair that mirrors the song’s mood. The visual direction complements the music by offering a cinematic counterpoint to the vocal performance, inviting viewers to experience the era through Amaia’s interpretive lens.
Amaia will return the spotlight the following day with When I Don’t Know Who I Am, the second album in her discography. The collection leans into themes of love and nostalgia while exploring fresh sounds within the pop landscape. The project promises a cohesive arc that threads through intimate storytelling and bold sonic experiments, presenting listeners with a matured artistic voice that remains true to Amaia’s roots.
Produced in collaboration with alizzz, the same producer behind El Madrileño, the album emphasizes Amaia’s identity and vocal character. The collaboration aims to balance personal expression with a wide appeal, highlighting her capacity to fuse vulnerability with assertive musical statements. Among the collaborations on When I Don’t Know Who I Am are contemporary artists who reimagine familiar phrases in new arrangements, as well as a reinterpretation of Los Planetas’ Santos que yo te pinté, inviting fans to hear beloved songs through Amaia’s distinctive interpretive lens.
Beyond digital platforms, Amaia’s new album will be available in physical formats, including several special editions. Fans can look for signed CDs and vinyl records, with even cassette versions appealing to collectors and long-time followers. The physical releases complement the streaming experience, giving listeners tangible ways to connect with the music and its artwork, while showcasing Amaia’s dedication to offering varied formats for different preferences.
