Music news

Resident is ready to return with a new album, his first in six years. The letters don’t matter anymore It seems to be a work of art beyond music where René will give free rein to how he conceives the world, that which Najwa Nimri It made him imagine closing his eyes in a kind of therapy to understand the world and what we want from it.

But before fully knowing this new work that connects the past with the future, we can know 313a song where This number has a special meaning.

He said Katy Perrya few days ago when saying goodbye to a good friend who had been part of his work team for a long time and who was still connected to him through a number 143. The same thing happens to Residente with his friend Valentinaonly its connection number is 313.

A number that is already part of an album that looks like it will tell many things, those that he does not want for the world he has had to live in and that leads him to imagine what the world that he could enjoy would be like.

Voicemail

And Residente has presented it to us in that creative way that he has of conceiving each of his works. He thinks about them, goes over them and looks for the best way to present it. And on this occasion He didn’t need a big production, a voice message was enough.

“Valentine, Since you left I started getting the number 313 everywhere: in hotel rooms, on the telephone, on watches, in the microwave, in addresses, everywhere. “I didn’t know that number 313 was connected to you,” he says in that message.

“Your mother told me that your sister was your favorite violinist and I invited her to participate in a song with me. The day I invited her I was in the lobby waiting and I started listening to our voice messages from you and you won’t believe it, but While I was listening to your voice messages the piano started playing really bad in the hotel and I looked at the phone and it was 3:13 and that was when I connected 313 with you for the first time,” he continued.

But his story doesn’t end there with that number so full of coincidences: “I started searching our messages and I saw that the last message you sent me was at 3:13. The last message I sent you was at 3:13 and it was magical. I didn’t expect it, but nothing, I want you to know that I am doing a topic, what is called 313 and is inspired by you”.

“I haven’t gone out in a long time… I don’t have the same spirits as I did 20 years ago. I’ve wanted to do other things for a long time. I want to make films, write a book, I want to not have to go on tour, I want to be with my son much more, I don’t want to do interviews, I want to draw again, I want to make music out of pleasure, not out of necessity, and I want to say goodbye, but I don’t want to.. Among all the things I want and don’t want, this album comes out on February 22,” he said not long ago.
