Pastor Soler . Seville, 1978. Pregnant and with a new album, the singer savors the splendid reception her new work has received. In May, the tour will begin with the force of having overcome the "scenic fear" that set it apart from the stage.

He has just published 'Feel', the twelfth record of his career, what does he feel? When a woman is pregnant, feelings are in full bloom. Burn this pregnant album has made it more special. I have sung differently and it has been much more intense. How does pregnancy influence an artist's career? Before, I was afraid of that moment because I thought I had to stop my career, but it is not so. A pregnant woman does not have to get out of the way for anything. On the contrary, it is such a strong life cycle and one has so much energy that nothing should stop if everything goes well. Do you notice that the pressure is greater on women than on men? We are always required a little more, but it is true that many things have been achieved in the profession. Now, women in music have an important role and are able to fill large venues, when only men used to do it. Years ago, a lot of women's talent didn't succeed because their parents or their husbands didn't want to. That has changed. He began his artistic career with only 14 years, what would he say to his 4-year-old daughter if he said 'mom I want to be an artist'? It's very difficult. I would support her, but as my parents did, because you have to prepare a lot and study. It is not good to start so soon. These ages are for playing instruments, training you ... You don't have to push children because at those ages or nothing is done or, if something is done, then it is very difficult to overcome it. I would try to have his bug fed, but not for the public. He has sung with greats like Alejandro Sanz, Raphael, Mónica Naranjo ... All these collaborations give you, but Alejandro is special because, when he started, I would be 14 or 15 years and was a crazy fan. Seeing him on stage was a gift. And Raphael is a teacher. I guess she will be tired of being asked about her retirement from the stage in 2014, after she lost her voice at a concert and suffered stage fright. I answer it because it is a stage in my life that I don't even want to forget because it's there and remembering it helps me not to happen again. I always said that when I didn't enjoy the stage, I was leaving. The time came and I did it. I pulled away for a while, but I thought it was forever. I said to myself: 'It's over, never again.' But he came back. They were three years apart and happy, without needing to be on stage, but life turned me around, I was a mother and when my daughter was one year old I started singing to her. I didn't sing since I left it. And so I began to get excited little by little, without setting goals or dates. When you are so many years chasing a dream, all of that takes its toll. Do you understand what happens in Spain? Ufff, politics? I try to stay out of the way, I prefer that my music love the beasts and calm the waters. And Catalonia? I was signing albums recently. It is a very special audience, one of the most grateful in Spain; They are descendants of Andalusians and they turn more. In my tours I have always filled the Liceu and the Palau de la Música. I am sorry for what is happening. Years ago, there was a war of egos between artists. That has changed because, if a door is opened for one, it is opened for all. There are no elbows. At the time of folklore it was different; They've told me things ... about even pulling their hair, but now, no. My environment and my generation are very healthy and very curious people; Nothing diva.
