The singer Daniel Martinin a long promotional interview for his new album, addressed one of the most controversial topics on current Spanish television: the rivalry between The anthill And The revolt. The artist, who will visit both programs this week, positioned himself as a possible mediator between the two television spaces, recalling that it was he who took David Broncano to The anthill in the past.
“I would love to tell them to hug,” Martín confessed, although he admitted they would probably tell him to “mind my own business.” The singer showed his gratitude towards both programs, highlighting the 19 years of relationship with The anthillwhere they allowed him to “do what I want”, from playing with a symphony orchestra to scoring a goal at the Metropolitano with Koke. About The revoltpraised its ability to offer “something that hasn’t been done in a long time” in terms of humor.
The former singer of The Fool’s Song He also spoke at length about his new album, created during the pandemic. The album, as he explained, has “a lot of rebellion” and reflects his weariness with some current trends in the music industry. A song called “New Friday” particularly stands out, in which he criticizes what he calls “music prostitution” in certain areas of the industry.
Martín, who will celebrate his 25th career with a tour that will begin in Latin America and continue through Europe and Spain, reflected on the evolution of his audience and his own maturity as an artist. “At concerts, we see more and more young people, we see 16 year old girls with my name on their faces,” he commented, showing his gratitude for the generational renewal of his followers.
The singer also discussed personal topics, like his new stage in his life without alcohol: “I realized that I don’t need to drink wine to be funny or to have a good time, with water fizzy, I’m also quite amusing.” This reflection is part of a greater awareness of the passage of time and the importance of enjoying the present: “You have to enjoy a conversation with a friend, you have to laugh a lot, you have to swim at the beach… because it’s over.”
Regarding the future of the music industry, Martín expressed his concern about the possible disappearance of the physical format of records, although he maintains his commitment to creating elaborate and careful products for his followers. In fact, he revealed that he is already working on his next album, demonstrating that his passion for music is still intact.
Concerning his relationship with social networks, the artist showed his concern about the impact they have on new generations, even citing a prediction by Antonio Gala from 1991 on the dangers that digital overexposure would entail. “Many children are transformed into monsters demanded and manipulated by a completely horrible role model,” he said.
The interview also revealed more intimate aspects of the artist, such as his relationship with Madrid and Cadiz, his fears (“I’m afraid of bad guys”) and his outlook on life, which he describes as “a gift full of luck, where “The only thing I can do every morning is say thank you and feel lucky.”
