It all started at the recent Latin Grammy gala, where Rauw Alejandro took the stage at the FIBES in Seville to perform, among others, Laura Pausini’s classic Se Fue.
A ballad of heartbreak with an intimate staging, filled with candles, which many interpreted as a message to his ex-partner, Rosalía, present in the stalls. She also sang, but her solemn performance left a different meaning in the air. Our Love Broke, by Rocío Jurado, made it clear that there was no room for second chances.
Both interpretations occupied the musical debate in the following days on social networks.
For her part, Laura Pausini was moved by the Puerto Rican’s tribute at the same gala where she was awarded Person of the Year and offered to record it as a duet with him. “I like his version better than mine,” she even said.
Rauw Alejandro didn’t take long to accept and they both went into the studio to make this spontaneous collaboration a reality. The Punto 40 interpreter confirmed last January that the song would be released “soon” but the truth is that it has not yet seen the light.
The reasons for this non-publication lie with Rauw Alejandro’s record company.
“Rauw and I already recorded our song. However, he has contract problems with his record company and until they give him authorization we cannot publish,” said the Italian artist, who responded on social media to the concerns of a fan who wondered about the delay of the issue.
“The night before I told her: ‘Laura, I have a surprise for you. I hope you like it, with love.’ I made the Saturn medley with a lot of love and she loved it,” Rauw acknowledged in the interview, that she already had the idea in her mind of recording a version of this song and including it on her next album.
