No Fui Yo parties y traducción de letra / lyrics translation

***Spanish***

¿Cómo va todo? Diciembre siempre es un mes caótico para mi, pues es el momento álgido de la gira con Gospel Factory (con quienes grabé recientemente para la banda sonora de la nueva película de Disney "Tiana y el Sapo"), y para sumarle este año, estoy grabando mi disco y promocionando el proyecto de No Fui Yo The Remixes.

Hablando de esto último, os recuerdo las fechas de salida de No fui Yo:
4 de Diciembre formato físico
7 de Diciembre en formato digital.

Los links de descarga serán facilitados aquí mismo tan pronto como estén disponibles. Y si queréis una copia del cd, podréis haceros con una también, a través de mi. Por supuesto, dedicada personalmente con todo mi cariño (si así lo queréis, claro!)

Ojalá vengáis a alguna de las fiestas, será un placer saludaros. En las fiestas en Noovo (Official Party, en Reus) presentaré en directo por primera vez tres de los temas de mi album. Pero no sólo actuaré yo, sino muchos otros artistas de diversas disciplinas. será genial! además, con cada entrada comprada te llevas el cd de No Fui Yo!!

Visita mi Myspace para ver todas las fechas y escuchar mi edit de No Fui Yo al completo.

Algunos amigos británicos y americanos me habéis preguntado qué dice la letra de No Fui Yo en inglés, así que para no romper mi tradición bilingüista, aquí está la letra.

Aprovecho para dejaros aquí un link a una excelente entrevista sobre moda que me realizaron recientemente para el increible Blog de moda: "Gentlemen & Cavaliere" Incluye una nueva foto de la sesión que realicé con el fotógrafo italiano Vincent Urbani (pronto veréis más!)

Howdy! December it's always a chatoic month for me. It's the busiest moment on the Gospel Factory tour (we also recently recorded vocals for Disney's spanish version of The Princess and The Frog) and adding to that I'm recording the album and promotion the No Fui Yo The Remixes project.

Talking about that, I'd like to remind you the dates for the No Fui Yo releases:
4th December will be the date for the physical release
7th December will be the digital release.

You'll find the download links right here as soon as they're available. If you want a physical copy you'll be able to buy it directly from here. Of course fully autographed with all my love (if you want my autograph that's it!)

I hope to see you guys in any of the parties. It'll be fantastic to greet you and have a chat. At the Noovo party (that's the official one, in Reus) I'll do a showcase with three songs from my forthcoming debut album. But it's not only me who's performing. Many exceptional artists from different genres will be there too. It's going to be great! Plus, which each ticket you buy, you'll get a free No Fui Yo Cd!!

Visit my Myspace for full details on the parties and to listen to the full No Fui Yo (Despacio edit).

Some of my anglophone friends have asked me what No Fui Yo is about. I've done a rough translation of the lyrics so you get a better idea. Anything for you guys!

Also here's a link to an interview I did for the fantastic fashion blog "Gentlemen & Cavaliere". It includes a new photo from the photoshoot I recently did with italian photographer Vincent Urbani. You'll soon see more of it.


"I told you, that I would wait for you until the end of time
You didn't care that for you I spent centuries without sleeping

No, it wasn't easy pretending like that
Shipwrecking on an never ending puddle

No, no, no...

Your lies keep on falling around me just like rain
Being wet doesn't scared me, it's just frustration
You always swear you've changed and all that has gone away
Far is never too much, it's you who lied to me it wasn't me
It wasn't me

When you'll be once again, remembering yesterday stories
Withouth mercy you'll come back to his arms to pretend
That with his kisses you calm your anxiety
Just looking for shelter after the storm

No, no, no...

Your lies keep on falling around me just like rain
Being wet doesn't scared me, it's just frustration
You always swear you've changed and all that has gone away
Far is never too much, it's you who lied to me it wasn't me
It wasn't me

It's when the clock marks ten o'clock
and lights start to dim..

Your lies keep on falling around me just like rain
Being wet doesn't scared me, it's just frustration
You always swear you've changed and all that has gone away
Far is never too much, it's you who lied to me it wasn't me
It wasn't me"

Bueno, bueno, bueno... lo de cantar delante de la familia real fue super divertido. Como dije previamente, no soy exáctamente monárquico, pero fue estupendo ver a futuros personajes históricos bailando y cantando con lo que hace tu banda. Me lo pasé muy bien a pesar de estar super enfermo, y ha tenido mucha repercusión en medios.

Sin ir más lejos en la propia web de La Casa Real se nos nombra!

Gospel Factory es maravilloso (siento tener que ser yo quién lo diga). No hay concierto en el que el público no quede sorprendido y quiera bises. El acto servía para conmemorar el 20 aniversario del Fuden -Fundación para el desarrollo de la enfermería-, (me enteré de que mi madre es miembro, al encontré con compañeras suyas en el cocktail posterior),y a el asistieron los Príncipes de Asturias y no pararon de bailar y cantar nuestras canciones.
Ver a Doña Letizia Ortiz jugando con nostros, es totalmente impagable! Espero que algún día surjan videos de ello. Al terminar el concierto, los Príncipes tuvieron a bien romper todo el protocolo y subir al escenario a darnos la mano uno a uno y felicitarnos por la actuación de una forma que me pareció totalmente sincera y honesta. Tras el concierto, nos mezclamos con el público en el cocktail y no puedo contar la cantidad de fotos que nos hicimos y los piropos varios que oímos, me sentí muy agradecido, es el mejor pago que puede uno recibir tras una actuación (después del caché, claro).

Gracias a todos los bloggers que hicieron críticas de dicho concierto, incluso los que me compararon con una especie de Bustamante del Gospel. Si supierais que me encanta hacer imitaciones suyas cantando, y que son bastante convincentes...

Al día siguiente partí hacia Alicante donde comenzaron los ensayos para la gira de Oke, cuyo primer concierto tuvo lugar en la sala Vivero de Málaga.

De vuelta por fin a mi hogar, espero tener unos días para mi sin necesidad de coger trenes, aviones, furgonetas ni similares.

Ahora es cuando tengo que diseccionar otra canción de mi disco, verdad?... Veamos...

"Mal, mal, mal".

Este tema, de corte claramente Motown, es uno de los más frescos y desenfadados del disco. Es un pequeño canto al auto-amor (no sobre la masturbación, no confundamos) y la exaltación del orgullo como medio de supervivencia a pesar del amargor de tener el corazón roto. Está en castellano, y dice algo como esto...: "Echando hoy la vista atrás, con toda la ingenuidad que se tiene con 20, y un corazón negligente. Sentí pegar un estirón, y mi cinismo dos, crucé de largo la línea, de una persona digna..." Estoy deseando que lo escuches!

También ha salido ya el anuncio de Trina donde pongo voz a uno de los personajes. Es super gracioso oirte con otra imágen y haciendo gorgoritos y cantando de una forma que habitualmente no harías. Supongo que si vives en España te hartarás de oir este anuncio en verano. Pista: Comparto con mi personaje el amor por las redes sociales.

Video aquí:


AH! He de adelantar que voy a hacer una colaboración SUPER especial para el disco de una persona de otro continente. No puedo decir más, pero va a ser muy fuerte. Ya os contaré cuando avance el asunto.

Nos vemos pronto. Besos.


********English**********

Well, well, well... singing in fron of the Spanish Royal Family was pretty good fun. As I previously said, I'm not the biggest monarchy fan around, but it was fantastic seing future historic figures singing and dancing with what your band is playing. I had loads of fun too even tho I was really sick. It also got pretty mediatic too.

We even got mentioned in the own Royal Family website!

Gospel Factory is the shit (I'm sorry to be the one saying this, but it's the truth!) There isn't a concert or gig in which the public doesn't get surprised and ask for an encore. The event served to commemorate the 20th aniversary of Fuden -Nursery development foundation- and I even found out my mum is a

collaborator as I met some of her work colleages at the after cocktail. The Prince and Princess attended the even and didn't stop dancing and singing our songs. Seing our glamourous Princess playing with us was totally unspected and fabulous. They even forgot about protocol and went on stage to congratulate each of us shaking our hands in which seemed to me like a very honest and sincere gesture. After the gig, we blended with the crowd at the cocktail and I can't even count the amount of pictures we got taken and the number of nice words we heard. I felt incredibly grateful, that's the biggest payment an artist can get after a performance (other than the cash, that's it).

Thank you so much to every blogger who attended and later commented it on their blogs, even those who compared me to some Gospel influenced-Bustamante (an spanish singer famous for comming from one of those talent shows). What you guys don't know is that I do a pretty impressive impersonation of his singing...

The day after I went to Alicante where the rehearsals for Oke's tour started, which first concert took place at Sala Vivero in Málaga.

Back home at last, I hope I have a few days for me without having to take planes, trains, vans or anything like that.

I'm suppoused to tell all about another song from my album, right? Let's se...

"Mal, mal, mal"

This song which has a clearly Motown-esque sound to it is one the most free-and-easy of them all. It's a bit of an auto-love (not masturbation you perv!) and pride exaltation as a surviving method chant in spite of feeling propperly broken hearted. It's in spanish and it goes something like this: "Looking back with all the naivety of being 20 with a negligent heart. I felt like growing up fast and so did my cynism I crossed the line and forgot about dignity" (totally free translation, it does make sense in spanish) Can't wait for you to hear this one specially!

The tv ad for which I've recorded vocals it's being shown on tv a lot now. It's really funny seing another person singing with you voice (a propper actor's work as I had to modify my voice a lot too). I'm the last soloist of the ad, the one with the laptop. Video here.

OH! I've been linned up for a collaboration on someone's album. It's super special as it's from another continent. I can't say anymore yet, but it's going to be wicked. I'll keep ya posted.

See you soon, XXX.
