A little over four years have passed since we met Africa and Damien as two of the contestants in Operación Triunfo 2018. Two artists who, since leaving the competition, began their careers within the music industry by evolving in the most alternative circles and who, over the years, have remained one of the few couples who continue today their relationship which began after they graduated from the Academy.
In the last few hours, moreover, the two gave their followers their own version of Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro’s latest hit, KISSwhich since its release on the platforms on March 24 as part of the digital EP RR It became a hit, occupying the first position in the Top 50 of Spotify Spain and the Top 5 worldwide. There is nothing!
The Madrid and Canary Islander used the trendy social network, TikTok (which is revolutionizing the way music is promoted to new and old artists), to give us a cover that has accumulated in 12 hours more than 250,000 reproductions on the platform, 36,000 “likes” and nearly 500 comments.
And it is that Africa Adalia and Damien have not just taken up the viral challenge that TikTok has been going through in recent days, but, microphone in hand, They decided to transfer the song to their own style, getting closer to the chamber pop we are used to.
Among the responses to the video, it seems that there is something clear: people loved this couple’s cover and asked them to download their studio version so they could enjoy it in full on Spotify. “Afri is one of the best voices in Spain” or “I like it more than the original” are also some of the comments that can be read on the platform right now.
Will fan requests come true? We can’t think of a better way to present new music in 2023 for artists, who already in 2021 have collaborated together on the theme ocean dream showing all the chemistry they had not only personally but professionally, as their voices blend together perfectly. From there, we join this collective request to be able to enjoy your music again.
