Shakira and Bizarrap analysis: strengths and weaknesses of the last song-event
Jimmy Fallon is to the music industry in the United States what ketchup and mustard are to hot dogs from New York street vendors: indivisible.
Shakira
had to go through her program after the indisputable success of
Music Sessions Vol. 53
with the Argentine
Bizarrap
, a song full of reproaches to her ex-partner, the soccer player Gerard Piqué, who has swelled to beat brands at world level.
It has so many records that it has entered with capital letters in the Guinness book.
Fallon himself, the accomplished 48-year-old comedian, rounded up some of them before interviewing the musical duo of the moment.
The most viewed Latin video on YouTube in 24 hours, the fastest Latin song to reach 100 million views on YouTube, the most streamed song in Spanish on Spotify in the first 24 hours, and the most streamed song on that platform in a week .
"You have destroyed!" an excited Fallon shouted.
The woman from Barranquilla did not hesitate to attribute a
large part of the credit to her eldest son, Milan
, a fan of Bizarrap music.
So much so that she asked her mother's manager to take charge of presenting them to work together on a subject, that of the rain of criticism of her father for the affair with Clara Chía
that
ended in a breakup.
"
He told me
that I had to work with Bizarrap because
we were going to be number one
," the singer shared.
For her part, the Buenos Aires DJ and producer also had in mind to collaborate with the Colombian after her success with Quevedo.
"I knew it was time to introduce myself to her," he said.
It took them a few months to connect, but after that the understanding was immediate.
And the emotion of Milan, monumental.
The 10-year-old
described Bizarrap as "the Argentine God"
.
Shortly after they gave birth to
Session 53
, which for weeks has not stopped sounding incessantly all over the planet, with rhythms that reminded Shakira of Depeche Mode.
"If you listen to it, it has that cool, dark tone", similar to that of the British band formed in Basildon in 1980. She felt in her hips that it was the right song.
The third most listened to artist in the world on Spotify believes that
the song "has become an anthem for many women"
after a really difficult year for her after their separation.
"Writing this song has been very important,
a healthy way to channel my emotions
," she stated.
"After this song I feel like I not only have fans but a sisterhood of women who have been through the same thing as me, who think and feel like me, who have had to eat as much shit as me."
Shakira and Bizarrap took advantage of their presence in New York to perform
Session 53 live for the first time
, supported by a crowd full of faithful fans of the subject.
They accompanied her with the lyrics from beginning to end.
As said, a hymn.
