1:52

it's called love of my life amor de Maria I DMV it's a song that I wrote in a musical camp that I had in Jamaica in January without knowing all the things that were gonna happen right now that the things are happening right now the chronovisor

2:06

saying and this is a special special story because I was in Jamaica and that day had to fly to Las Vegas for the American Grammys right because I was nominated to the Grammys as bad lion artist and I couldn't fly well we have some trouble we have some troubles there so I

2:25

couldn't I couldn't fly I was so so sad and so mad because I knew that I had this big chance to get the Grammy to my house and I couldn't go mad and I had all these feelings inside myself and I was like like but what should I do with this you know like it's so I have to

2:42

stay one more danger maker I couldn't fly that day to Columbia so I had to pay for the house another day pay for the food all the composers all the producers that were there over there with me I had to play everything one more night I was like you know what this has to be a

2:58

productive day you know I have to work I had to to take the positive things about all yeah I took the kayak and he took the guitar and it went to the middle of nowhere in the middle of the ocean right I took some beers with me I told to one

3:14

of my friends that he's a producer I talked to him to come with me and we started writing writing this song that is called a tmv I felt like I needed to go to that place to to keep feeling inspire you know to don't lose the vibe that I got there him in Jamaica

3:28

so I started feeling that I was getting to worry about stupid things you know like going to mmm Vegas you know going to Grammys I mean it's a big event you know but it's not what matters in life and aren't you supposed to go get the Grammy so that you get enough success to

3:44

be able to go to Jamaica to sit in a kayak and make music that's the real success actually that's that's what I was thinking in that in that moment you know like and it was like I'm getting to worry about stupid things of course I'm getting to worry to be the number one

3:57

again it's a word to be in every chart but when I'm gonna start making music for myself I'm gonna I'm gonna start enjoying like crazy what I what I'm doing I want to do the things I really love I love doing romantic music I need to to do these kind of things again so

4:13

so I started thinking about myself and I started thinking about my priorities man I understood that my priorities that are loving my family loving my friends loving my career but not getting obsessed with it you know just keeping the balance and

4:28

that's how how how these song was was born was a beautiful experience I didn't know what was gonna happen and I never released a romantic song and been my single I mean it was part I had like too bad that's before that they were part of my other albums pretty boy dirty boy and

4:45

then Fame right but I never I never did like a single you know I never gave the important importance to a song like a DMV so I'm very I'm very excited because it's a be friend it's a whole different project that I never did before yeah we just played an absolute crusher

5:04

man Bob Marley and the Wailers talkin blues that's what I wanted to go to Jamaica actually and it'll feel that spirit you know that that's all that's not the project that I'm happy right now that I'm working on my next album there's gonna be I don't know when with

5:20

all these crazy things are happening but but I'm working on and that's what I went to Jamaica I needed to fill the Bob Marley's period I need to fill the culture I needed to fill the roots of my music you know because actually I'm I'm putting some food in my mom's or my family's table

5:35

because of all the things I made right and I needed to to know the genre need to know what was going on over there in Jamaica and I got so inspired and I've been a huge fan of Bob Marley my my whole life you know and then then is Bob a das he's like he's like you listen to

5:55

6:15

in the middle of it loving it I think I think he's already don't I have to work some things about production and something about collaborating collaborations because I really want to put these kind of artists like coffee like Bruno you know I want to take the

6:29

Apple to another to another level you know you still sounding like me but it's a very experimental album bro like I'm not following trends about nothing if you listen from the first song to the end of the old album is different you know it's like the hell this guy his mom

6:48

a lot of wheat over there Jamaica you know like the whole concept the whole concept of the album is crazy so I don't I don't know I just I just wanted to house I told you I one of my priorities was enjoying again all the music that I that that I do and that's

7:09

the music that I want to do you know have you had much time to reflect has it during this time where you haven't been moving 100 miles an hour touring talking doing all that stuff that goes on a day-to-day basis what have you learnt about your own thoughts

7:23
