Now yes! Karol G and Shakira came to serve. And how! The two Colombian stars met in THQ. This is one of the most anticipated songs from Karol G’s new album, tomorrow will be beautifulwhich was released that same Friday, February 24.
Rumors of a collaboration between that of Medellín and that of Barranquilla have been ringing out for months, but we had to wait for TQG to be able to see them together. And what a bomb!
In fact, as Karol G revealed in an interview for The New York Times, the song was perfect for collaborating, since Shak identified so much with the lyrics.: “She was like ‘Oh my god, thank you, the verses perfectly reflect how I feel right now.'”
And we already know why! And it is that THQ is a stimulating theme that arises from the feeling of a rupture. “Tell your new baby I’m not vying for a man“say the two stars in chorus. But that’s not the only phrase that catches the eye. Quite the contrary!
The song also references Shakira’s career. This moment when the “Shakira, Shakira” of hips don’t lie which rang everywhere in 2006 made all his followers and followers smile. there’s even a plane in the video reminiscent of the Shak from the turn of the millennium.
A music video full of cinematic references
But it’s not just the lyrics and music that are full of pop references. Shakira and Karol G didn’t give a wireless point and released a clip that is a real treat. OhEspecially for movie buffs!
The clearest reference we see is from the movie the truman show 1998, with Jim Carey. In the video, we see a group of people watching the life of the two singers through monitors. Also, the final shot, where they appear on stairs, above a sky painted on a wall, is the same shot the sci-fi movie ends with. They leave the set as Jim Carrey’s character did. Quite a declaration of intent: they don’t want their life to become a media circus.
You can also see references to movies like Kill Bill. This scene in the snow reminds us of the first installment of Tarantino’s film. That moment in the snow.
Another reference found in the cinema is the close-up, in which Karol G appears in the middle of a city full of neon lights. remind the world blade runner. Will they be replicants or the people they refer to?
And we continue for the bingo! Because the two stars were kind enough to put all sorts of references from science fiction films. Of course, this moment of falling into the void makes us think of Neo from Matrix.
Come on, the video is to be analyzed separately. And it is full of references!
