Artificial intelligence is making possible what seemed difficult to imagine just a few years ago. More than two decades after they collaborated in the album 19 days and 500 nightsproducer and singer Alejo Stivel, vocalist of the mythical Madrid group Tequila, has joined Joaquín Sabina again for the single I was an animal. A union that, although it should not be a huge surprise after the success of their previous joint work, is for the video clip that both star: Stivel and Sabina sing and dance with their young versions made with AI.
The song, in which the two artists combine their voice after the Argentine Alejo Stival was devoted entirely to production in 19 days and 500 nights (1999), is a new version of the theme that had already appeared on the last Stivel album, I was an animal (2017). As confirmed in the press release, he has a strong autobiographical load and “deeply resonated” in Sabina, who heard her commented that it seemed to be written thinking about him. It is that way that the idea of recording it together was born.
The rock of this reinterpretation takes shape with the striking video clip, produced by artificial intelligence to recreate the young versions of Joaquín Sabina and Alejo Stivel. These images, described by the record as “surprising and futuristic,” premiere in a context in which the art world is discussed by how to try to live with the new digital reality. “The song had some sabina, and he felt it right away. It was a luxury to record it together after so many years, ”says Alejo Stivel about collaboration.
The project has been possible thanks to the good relationship that both Alejo Stivel and Joaquín Sabina have maintained among them since their work in 19 days and 500 nightskey album in Sabina’s trajectory for the song that gives title to the album, now turned into one of her biggest hits. In addition, the album is considered one of the most personal and autobiographical of the singer -songwriter Ubetse, and has a production that, in Stivel’s words, sought to extract the true essence of Sabina’s voice.
“For me, that was the culmination of my career as a producer. Sabina has that unique ability to show the most vulnerable of himself, and we capture that on that album, ”says Stivel in the press release. The Argentine artist says that they were working on that album for a year and that, although “it was not easy,” Joaquín Sabina has “a way of composing and interpreting unique.” “Over the years, we have shared much more than music,” says Stivel, claiming that Sabina is “a true poet of life”, which makes his “relationship special.”
Apart from the launch of this video clip, in which musicians seek to combine “complicity” and “mutual respect” that they forged at that time, Alejo Stivel prepares a concert for next March 13 at the Barceló Theater in Madrid. There he will review his career, which will be an opportunity to enjoy his classics, both alone and with Tequila, as well as this new chapter of his career. Tickets are already for sale. Also, Sabina will waste the scenarios this 2025 with a last and massive tour that bears the name of Hello and goodbye.
