Wenn ein sympathischer Superstar auf einen anderen sympathischen Superstar trifft, dann können dabei eigentlich nur zwei außergewöhnliche Highlights herauskommen. So geschehen bei J Balvin und Ed Sheeran, die gemeinsam im Studio waren und zeitgleich zwei Songs und zwei Videos veröffentlicht haben: „Sigue“ und „Forever My Love“ die zweite – und wie das Cover der beiden Songs verdeutlicht: Die beiden Musiker hatten verdammt viel Spaß bei dieser spektakulären Collab!
So sagt J Balvin über diese spektakuläre Kooperation: “Everything good takes time. Six months ago I was at the gym and told myself, „this guy looks like Ed Sheeran.“ Well it was. We had a coffee and spoke about life and we there was a dope vibe. We bonded over simple things creating a genuine friendship – we even spoke about what it’s like to be a dad hehe. In NY we made plans to have a studio day and well you guys will see the outcome hehehe. The first two songs that we made were „Sigue“ and „Forever my Love“ and now they are coming to light. I wanted him to come to the world of Reggaeton and he invited me to his world as well. It was really cool hearing him in Spanish and we hope that you all love the songs as much as we do. Much peace and love.“
Ed Sheeran dazu: “I met J in a gym in New York last year – it was just me and him very early in the morning. I recognised his voice when he was on the phone so I just went up and said hi. We chatted so long, we ended up having lunch and then afternoon tea. Then just went to being mates who chatted nonstop. I was in New York at Christmas for shows and we decided to have one day in the studio that led to so so much more. The first two songs we wrote were ‘Sigue’ and ‘Forever My Love’ and I absolutely love them. He wanted to bring me into his world, and I wanted to bring him into mine. It was a proper challenge learning Spanish for this and I had so much fun doing it. Hope you love it as much as I do and look out for more to come.”
