Quevedo delayed the release of his new album Good nightscheduled for November 8, in solidarity with the “circumstances that Valencia and other regions of Spain are experiencing due to the DANA disaster.” The singer explained on his social networks that it was time to “help, support and be attentive to those affected”.
Two weeks later, the album is now available on all digital platforms. His seventeen new songs – until now he had only released one, Hard– functions like a party evening where there is no shortage of banter, games of seduction, occasional verses that reproduce stereotypes and sexist contradictions.
“It’s 2:26, and I’m writing this so I don’t go out later and release something commercial because I have a career, an audience to feed. Constant pressure, I don’t know where it will stop. And the only thing I don’t have the strength to do is send you this baby» he intones I let you downhis collaboration with Sech.
The album begins with nine songs that repeat themes, style and tone; until evolving towards more thoughtful sounds and words that go beyond the game and seduction of the night. The first, Cassandraspeaks to another artist he had met a long time ago, who was “always accompanied, but always alone”, with whom he connected because he felt the same: “You are different, being here makes you sad. A woman whom he would have found some time later, with whom he claims to see her “smile more calmly, she has learned to obey what she feels”.
This introduction is reminiscent of their theme from the previous album, The lastin which he looks back on the rapid growth of his career and recalls: “When leisure and business were two separate words. I can’t go back there anymore. And I have so much money I don’t even know why I want it. By spending everything, I want to see myself again at zero.
The same tone applies to How disgusting everything is, the closest thing to a ballad LP, in which he speaks honestly about loneliness, pain and exhaustion. “There is no one around, like everything can’t be worse for me (…) I can’t look good today. No one understands me when I say how disgusting everything is,” he says. At the same time, he admits he thinks talking about it won’t be what gets him back to the top of music playlists and sales charts. “I write this knowing that if it comes off my chest, it won’t get on the radio,” he says.
Return after a brief break

Yes in Even recognizes: “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, “I know you hate me and that’s why I’m going to hit you harder.”
