NETWORKS. "If I didn't manage them personally, I wouldn't have them"
DISC. "I think this album has a freshness and spontaneity that the previous ones do not have"
On March 5, Pablo Alborán landed in Madrid "full".
"I was finishing the third tour of the album and I had had time to enjoy the trips, I was able to escape with friends on days off, something that in other tours not," he remembers with a huge smile.
And suddenly the world stopped
.
Yesterday the man from Malaga was also exultant.
'Vertigo', the fifth album he has released, is on the streets.
Between these two moments, his beloved Malaga, his family and his music.
"The confinement I experienced with my parents and I was more
concerned with entertaining them and being an idiot at home
than with anything else. I wanted to avoid feeding negative feedback," he says.
And that isolation from the outside brought him good things personally but also professionally.
"I kept writing and finishing the songs that I had started before the pandemic but without knowing that they were going to be an album."
There was no pressure;
the world had changed the rhythm.
"I think this album has
a freshness and spontaneity that previous ones don't have
."
In those weeks at home, there were many firsts.
"I cooked, something I never do, I learned to make couscous from my mother, to dye her gray hair, I had never had a dye in my life."
He talked about architecture, art and politics with his father.
"It was like living us
.
"
INTIMATE PROCESS
At the time of composing, the routine varied little.
"
In my room, alone
. It is still very intimate to pick up a guitar or play the piano."
At 31, he says he keeps the illusion intact.
"I still breathe better when I sing than when I speak."
Music is your balance
.
"It is where I spit my stories and see my pleasures fulfilled. It is like the one who takes his breath away with sport."
Friendly and close at short distance, in June he made headlines for a topic unrelated to his career.
On Instagram he revealed his homosexuality and the world championship was mounted.
He did it "out of dignity", because he felt like it, and from what came later
he keeps the little great stories
of anonymous people who his message could help.
"The ones that came to me were very beautiful and very hopeful."
She consults important decisions with her manager, "she is like a sister to me", and with her mother, "she always puts herself in my place and thinks about the consequences that things can have for me".
Of the first to hear his songs, the nephews of 5, 7, 9, 11 and 14 years old.
"They're a hell of a meter for songs," he
says naturally.
WATCH CINEMA
It is not the first time that he has recognized that the world of cinema attracts him.
"I look at him with great respect. If one day something comes, we will have to work hard. For now, more than little eyes, I wink at him for the moment," he says humbly.
You haven't got a script yet, but you hope to be prepared when it happens.
He talks a lot about the team, his people, those who support him.
"I am very heavy on this issue.
I value a lot when I have a team
and each one is clear about what he has to do. When we all want to push forward, regardless of the position each one has. It is a brutal feeling."
It's been 10 years since that shy-looking kid became a pop star.
"Fame has taken me away the first few times, but it has given me more good than bad."
With 5.8 million followers on Instagram, 3.7 on Twitter and 5.2 on Facebook, he
personally manages his social networks
.
"If it were not like that, I would not have them. It is a direct channel of communication."
He rebels "against injustice, against selfishness and against people who are blind with an idea and do not want to listen."
He is happy with his moment, but he does not forget what he experienced.
"It pisses me off that deaths seem like just a number
.
"
