The germ of David Otero’s new album
After extensive tour of more than 100 concerts presenting his latest album Otero and me and with more than 124 million views on its platforms, Otero decides to stop for a while to reconnect with the songs and return to the recording studio at the ideal moment, just when he really has things to say.
In the singer’s own words: “There is a moment when I start making songs, as if out of inertia, and nothing of what I am doing convinces me. I talk to Tato (Latorre), my producer, and I tell him that I’m going to stop because I feel like I’m composing for the sake of composing, and that I don’t have a fixed direction, I need to figure out how I’m going to organize my head and how to orient everything a little.”

“From that point, I realize that the best thing I can do is look for guidance or help from someone who can direct me where to start looking. And I find Pablo Rabinovich, an Argentine psychoanalyst, with whom I begin to do sessions on the topics I want to address. We began to have many answers through dialogue, mainly. Having as its main axis the human and emotional communication that exists today between people. Above all, through mobile devices, and how it affects us to be who we are, our self-esteem, our self-perception, the knowledge of our emotions… And reflecting on this I begin to have arguments to talk about,” has explained David Otero.
