Torrelavega (EFE).- The singer-songwriter Vicky Gastelo has started the tour of her sixth album, “Capricho”, in theaters in Madrid and Barcelona, in which she has had the luxury of inviting three of her professional friends with whom she he really wanted to sing and has brought together two of his favorite bands.
It’s a whim to sing “Stay in my house” with Shuarma, reminiscent of great rock ballads; “But you don’t sleep with me” next to the Funambulista, a song that seeks to move people by telling the story of two lovers; or “I left” with Marwan, a song armed only with a piano and a string quartet.
He has also wanted to add to his tour ballads and uptempos (music performed at a faster speed) with great force and great choruses like in “Lo increible que fue” or “Se va a romper” along with Pachi García, from the group Alis, who signs much of his production and with whom Vicky Gastelo worked on his first independent album.
“Spectacular” start of the tour
In an interview with EFE, the singer, born in Torrelavega, assures that the first concerts of the tour “are being spectacular” due to the public’s response to this “Capricho” that has been granted.
The next stop will be on March 31 at the Acoustic Nights Festival in Cabanillas del Campo (Guadalajara) and he hopes to reach his Cantabria this summer.
He assures that this album “is very special and different from all the previous ones”, because “there is everything” from ballads and uptempos to strings and programmed drums, going through pop and rock. “It’s a record that has no common thread except giving myself a few whims and settling outstanding accounts with myself,” the singer-songwriter emphasizes.
Vicky Gastelo began recording the album song by song and, unlike the previous ones, she has worked in nine studios and has had five producers, “always looking for that something different that she wanted from the beginning”.
Six albums and twenty years of career
Sixth album with eight caprices that began last October with the first single, “Me fui”, and with which she intends to give new impetus to more than two decades of musical career, convinced that “there is always room for a good song ”.
“I think this album has good lyrics,” says Gastelo, who says he gives the same importance to the lyrics as to the music because with “Capricho” he has “wanted to maintain an honest way of writing” and the one he thinks his followers like. .
“Songs are like children. You do each one with the same affection and each one comes out with her own emotions. Then they take a dimension that one would never have imagined and they give you more than what you have given them. That is the magic of music,” she asserts.
And he asserts that “you have to treat yourself from time to time”, which he is going to do with his friends and colleagues and which he already did on February 18 in Madrid in a musical reunion with Ismael Serrano.
