Lorena Castell and Carlos Marco are back after a short break for Christmas! Europa FM becomes a festival thanks to ‘yu Music’, which arrives with its first program of the year.
The Three Kings have brought us a great international star: Melanie C. We chatted with the artist about her new music, her long-awaited concerts, but also how she lived two decades ago being one of the most famous women in the world of music with the Spice Girls.
Before welcoming Mel C, Ventura takes a look at current music. One of the most prominent news of the week is that the Grammys have postponed their edition to March 14 due to the pandemic. And, one of the most talked about gossip in recent days is that Kylie Jenner has stopped following Rosalía. What has happened between them? Are they no longer friends?
What is clear that if Rosalía is currently one of the queens of music, Melanie C it was in the 90s when the Spice Girls took the world by storm with their songs.
In ‘yu Music’ we have the honor to speak with Mel C, which in October presented his eighth album that is titled like her and is doing the promotion through the screen, since in the United Kingdom they are confined.
The artist explains that you want to get back on stage and to feel the heat of the public, because it is strange to do everything online. You are also glad to know that his music helps to distract and in bad times he is great company.
In Mel C, a self-released album by herself, the singer wanted to show that there is no style that can resist and for this reason we can listen to songs with a more electronic sound to others more pop or rock. In addition, Melanie considers it important that her fans feel identified with their letters and it is for that reason he speaks of empowerment, of the ‘Girl Power’, as she did with the girl band and this is how she expresses it herself: “I am who I am from having been through the Spice Girls”.
“I am very excited to return to the stage and also to return to Spain”, the artist has confessed, that in April and May he will set foot in our country again to offer two concerts, one in Madrid and the other in Barcelona.
Mel C has explained that for her Spain is very special, “I spent a large part of my childhood in Spain, since my father worked there and many of my my school vacations were there “, and states that is “a special place in my heart, especially when he was with the Spice Girls “. So, you want the pandemic situation to have changed and improved in spring, consider that “we will be fine” to be able to act, but if not, concert dates will be postponed.
And it is that Melanie C wants to to feel the love of his Spanish fans again, whom he considers very “passionate” and show a lot “love and affection”.
In addition to talking about their new album, we also wanted to discover what it was like to be part of one of the most successful groups in the history of music. In 2019, the Spice Girls (without Victoria) took the stage again, an experience that Mel C remembers how “wonderful and incredible” and confesses that “would love to return” to live.
And is that the Spice Girls marked an entire generation but it also changed the life of its components. Melanie explains that her daughter has accompanied her to her concerts since she was little, but what else He was surprised by the reunion of the Spice, since she realized that her mother really was a music star.
One of the things the pandemic has taught us is that technology can bring us closer to those who are further away. Mel C has given us an exciting performance that has left us speechless.
After traveling through the network to the United Kingdom, we stayed on our set to receive Hugo Cobo who comes to introduce us Will hurt, her debut album.
Before talking about this first job after his time at OT, we put our guest to the test in ‘Guess the song’, where faces Carlos Marco. Who knows the most hits?
We start with ’11 Reasons’ of Aitana, which Hugo does not recognize but explains that he likes this sound that the singer has recovered, since it has “mixed its essence with the music of a lifetime”.
Another of the artists who are also currently sweeping is The Weeknd, with whom Hugo Cobo would love it collaborate although he says he would also like to work “with Carlos Marco and with everyone”, even with Bad Bunny.
Without a doubt, we have lived a ‘Guess the song’ very funny!
???? You can see Hugo Cobo in ‘Guess the song’ at minute 32:44 ????
Will hurt is the first LP of Hugo cobo, which he launched in early December and with which it feels “proud and satisfied” “after so long working” and see what has “had such an impact”.
The disc consists of five songs that were born from “experiences and what I see”, as he himself explains and adds that “I make the songs so that people listen to them and take them to their land”.
On the other hand, Hugo Cobo has explained to us that the album title came to him in a taxi: “They took me to a photoshoot and my AR told me that we had to think about the name of the album and the first word that occurred to me was ‘hurt’ and, after giving it several turns, I caught him honey “.
“I’m doing what I wanted to do, I did not want to focus on only one style“says the singer who defines his LP as a broad work, made up of different styles because he has grown up listening “everything from flamenco to pop or rock, soul …” and claims that “you have to listen to everything and consume everything”.
Likewise, one of the things that Hugo Cobo likes the most is composing, something I already did when I was little. “I was absent from school to write songs”, confesses, and explains that his mother left him because she saw that it was his future. And, on the other hand, remember that you had to fight to get where you are now: “I have not remained standing at home, I have been singing everywhere”.
His talent is more than evident and to say goodbye, Hugo Cobo performs live ‘Siren’:
???? And remember, you have an appointment every Saturday at 7:00 p.m. with ‘yu Music’ and Europe FM
