We remember as if it was yesterday. “On a Latin air” has marked an entire generation. So much so that Marine, the winner of the Star Academy, interpreted her alongside Lorie during the December 28 bonus. But did you know that this unavoidable hit, released in 2003, almost never saw the light of day?
This is what Lorie recently revealed on Instagram. When she had just released a new album, she wanted to offer an unprecedented single for the summer. Indeed, during a meeting at Sony, the ex-girlfriend of Billy Crawford expressed his desire to create a sunny song. “Me, I said to them: it's going to be summer soon. I want to fart it like J-Lo. I want to dance, I want it to be sun, sand .. . “.
