American actor and singer Will Smith and the Spanish artist India Martinez have sung live for the first time the song that they composed and recorded in Ibiza last summer, titled ‘First love’, in the framework of the Lo Nuestro Awards. In this collaboration, both artists come together to talk about the intensity of first love.
La 37 latina music gala was held this Thursday in Miami. Alejandra Espinoza, Laura Pausini and Thalia hosted the ceremony. Among the artists in charge of enlivening the gala with musical performances, in addition to India Martinez and Will Smith, winner of a Grammy and Oscar winnerthe event was attended by singers such as Marc Anthony, Shakira, Belinda and Alejandro Sanz.
The song ‘First Love’ is a fusion of flamenco and rap with the accompaniment of the Polish guitar player Maci. The song mixes each artist’s native languages, English and Spanish. The Spaniard’s heartbreaking flamenco quejío accompanies Smith’s English verses in a song in which both have their solo moments. The guitar sounds to the rhythm of Will Smith’s rap.
This track is a preview of Will Smith’s upcoming album, ‘Based on a True Story’with which he will return to the music scene after almost 20 years away from the recording market.
Together in Ibiza
Actor and rapper Will Smith and singer India Martinez shared a post together in Ibiza on their social networks this summer. As a result, it was rumored that they could be working on a collaboration. Rumors that were finally confirmed when the singers shared on their social networks a video in which the process of composing the song could be seen and a part of it could also be heard.
Will Smith was a month on the island enjoying a few days of disconnection, but also working. And a lot of it. The singer, in addition, has been the image of the marketing campaign of the new nightclub [UNVRS]which will open this summer by the hand of Yann Pissenem. Last July, a video went viral in social networks in which the singer several people claimed to have seen a UFO from the viewpoint of es Vedrà.
The promotional video of [UNVRS] provided by its promoters shows how Smith solves the enigma of the flying object (a hoax by the producers) and goes to the new nightclub, currently under construction, where Pissenem is, who presents the new project under the iconic dome of the old Ku and Privilege while directing the trajectory of a drone.
The rapper shared this summer the video of the collaboration with India Martinez, in which the dj Black Coffee also participates. In the video, the artists can be seen singing a part of the track. Will Smith’s son also appears, playing some chords while the Spanish singer provides the vocals.
Afterwards, Martinez plays the cajon as Smith’s team looks on in admiration and Black Coffee adds, “It makes my hair stand on end.” “Nothing like the first time,” Smith comments in the video.
The artist also recorded other tracks during his stay on the island and did so at the Six Senses Ibiza hotel, where he also stayed.
