ROSALÍA Announces New Album “MOTOMAMI”, Shares New Song “SAOKO”
Spanish singer-songwriter ROSALÍA announced her third studio album “MOTOMAMI” would be released on March 18, 2022.
From the album, she unveiled the second single called “SAOKO” on February 4th, following “LA FAMA” featuring The Weeknd.
It was written by Yomi, DJ Urba, Wisin, David Rodríguez, Michael Uzowuru, Justin Quiles, Sir Dylan, Noah Goldstein and ROSALÍA.
The accompanying music video was directed by Valentin Petit.
“Naming my next track 'SAOKO' and sampling Yankee and Wisin for me is the most direct homage I can make to classic reggaeton, a genre that I love and that has been a constant and great inspiration throughout the MOTOMAMI project,” ROSALÍA said of the song in a press release. “I started “SAOKO's” beat playing the upright piano at Electric Lady's Studio B in NY, I remember it like it was yesterday. It was at night and making this beat seemed as fun as driving a Lambo. I then distorted this piano and added some classic reggaeton drums from a library that NaisGai had sent me some time ago, which by the way is something very special to me because this library has been passed from one generation of producers to another for a long time.”- She continued, “Before starting this track I kept thinking that I wanted to see some jazz touches in a reggaeton track and sampling Wisin and Yankee's iconic track seemed like the best way for me to open the song. I also thank Noah, David, Dylan and Uzi for sharing this creative process with me. If you notice, the lyrics revolve around the same concept: transformation. Each and every phrase is an image of transformation. Celebrating transformation, celebrating change. Celebrating that you are always yourself even though you are in constant transformation or even that you are you more than ever at the very moment you are changing.”
The new album comprises 16-track, featuring guest appearances from The Weeknd and Tokischa. - source : Apple Music
