Quevedo delayed the release of his new album Good nightscheduled for last November 8, in solidarity with the “circumstances that Valencia and other areas of Spain are experiencing due to the DANA catastrophe.” The singer explained on his social networks that it was time to “help, support and be mindful of those affected.”
Two weeks later, the album is now available on all digital platforms. His seventeen new songs – until now he had only published one, Hard– works like an evening of celebration in which there is no shortage of dalliances, games of seduction, the occasional verse that reproduces sexist stereotypes and contradictions.
“It’s 2:26, and I’m writing this so that later I don’t go out and release something commercial because I have a career, an audience to feed. Constant pressure, I don’t know where it’s going to stop. And the only thing I don’t have the strength to do is send you this baby” he intones in I failed youhis collaboration with Sech.
The album begins with nine songs that repeat themes, style and tone; until evolving towards more reflective sounds and lyrics that go beyond the play and seduction of the night. The first, Kassandraspeaks to another artist whom he had met a long time ago, who was “always accompanied, but always alone”, with whom he connected because he felt similar: “You are different, being here makes you sad.” A woman with whom he would have met again some time later, in which he assures that he sees her “smile more calmly, she learned to obey what she feels.”
This introduction is reminiscent of their theme from the previous album, The lastin which he delved into the rapid rise of his career, and recalled: “When leisure and business were two separate words. I am no longer able to go back. And I have so much money, I don’t even know why I want it. Spending everything, I want to see myself back to zero.”
The same tone applies to How disgusting everything is, the closest thing to an LP ballad, in which he is honest about loneliness, pain and exhaustion. “There is no one around, how disgusting everything can’t be worse for me (…) There is no way I can look handsome today. Nobody understands me when I say how disgusting everything is,” he says. At the same time, he admits that he thinks that talking about it will not be what puts him back at the top of the music playlists and sales charts. “I write this knowing that if it comes out of my chest it won’t be played on the radio,” he says.
Return after a brief break
Good night It comes after Quevedo decided to stop his career last February, and disappear from the spotlight for a while. “I’m not a machine, I’m going to disconnect,” he justified.

AitanaYoung Beef, Pitbull, Sin nombre, La Pantera, Rels B, De La Rose, De la Guetto and Sech have been the artists chosen for the collaborations included in his new album, in which he mixes self-criticism of men with a in turn sexist verses. Yes in Same acknowledges: “Don’t listen to me, I’m just a fucking heterobasic. You shouldn’t trust me. All men are equal. We just want money, women and abs. I know it hurts you but babyit’s the truth”. In from behind He blurts out: “I know you hate me and that’s why I’m going to hit you harder.”
