The singer-songwriter returns after *Veintitantos* with a new song produced by Josemi Carmona. A story of love, memories, and goodbyes that finds its best expression in the guitar and simplicity. <\/em><\/p>\n\n Some loves come to an end, but they never truly fade away.<\/p>\n\n They linger in a song, a place, or that memory that pops up when we least expect it.<\/p>\n\n That feeling gave rise to \u201cLevante<\/strong>, \u201d<\/strong> the new single by V\u00edctor Mart\u00edn<\/strong>, a singer-songwriter who focuses on emotion, carefully crafted melodies, and stories that don\u2019t need elaborate embellishments to connect with his listeners.<\/p>\n\n Following his debut with Veintitantos<\/em>, the musician returns with a composition that looks toward the Mediterranean and uses the wind as a metaphor for relationships that come and go.<\/p>\n\n And he does so alongside a key figure in our music scene: Josemi Carmona<\/strong>, who is in charge of production.<\/p>\n\n \u201cLevante\u201d is about a love that goes back and forth.<\/p>\n\n One of those relationships that leave a lasting impression even after they seem to have ended.<\/p>\n\n V\u00edctor Mart\u00edn wanted to tell that story from a personal perspective, making room for the guitar, the melody, and the lyrics.<\/p>\n\n The artist himself explains the song’s origin as follows:<\/p>\n\n \u201c\u2018Levante\u2019 was inspired by thoughts of those loves that don\u2019t stay, but don\u2019t completely fade away either. I wanted to write it without artifice, with just my guitar and the truth leading the way, as if I were telling a story in a low voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n The image of the Mediterranean wind serves as a unifying theme.<\/p>\n\n The easterly wind arrives, changes the atmosphere, and then blows away again.<\/p>\n\n Just like some people.<\/p>\n\n Like certain memories.<\/p>\n\n Like those stories we think we’ve left behind until something brings them back to life.<\/p>\n\n One of the most interesting aspects of this release is the collaboration with Josemi Carmona<\/strong>, a musician and producer known for his work with Ketama and his ability to bridge different musical traditions.<\/p>\n\n In \u201cLevante,\u201d the concept is based on a simple idea: to allow the song to retain its intimacy.<\/p>\n\n V\u00edctor Mart\u00edn places special emphasis on that creative connection:<\/p>\n\n “Working with Josemi was a gift: he understood right from the start that the song needed to breathe.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n Production thus plays a vital role.<\/p>\n\n It’s not about filling every space, but about finding the balance between the performance, the instruments, and the emotion.<\/p>\n\n A philosophy that fits in with the tradition of the great singer-songwriters, where a melody and a good story can be enough to carry a song.<\/p>\n\n V\u00edctor Mart\u00edn belongs to a generation of musicians who combine a solid musical education with influences from different styles.<\/p>\n\n He graduated with honors with a degree in Professional Music from Berklee College of Music<\/strong> in Boston, one of the most internationally renowned music institutions.<\/p>\n\n His work falls within the realm of contemporary singer-songwriter music.<\/p>\n\n It features references to artists such as Jorge Drexler, Antonio Vega, John Mayer, and Jacob Collier<\/strong>\u2014musicians who, despite their very different styles, share a special focus on composition and performance.<\/p>\n\n It also draws on the tradition of singer-songwriters such as Gordon Lightfoot and Jim Croce, for whom the guitar and storytelling were essential tools.<\/p>\n\n But the real challenge for V\u00edctor Mart\u00edn isn’t in emulating his role models.<\/p>\n\n It’s about building one’s own identity.<\/p>\n\n And songs like \u201cLevante\u201d point precisely in that direction.<\/p>\n\n With *Veintitantos*<\/em>, V\u00edctor Mart\u00edn established his artistic direction.<\/p>\n\n Now, \u201cLevante\u201d continues that journey from a particularly intimate perspective.<\/p>\n\n The single is about feelings that everyone can relate to, without turning them into grand declarations.<\/p>\n\n There is nostalgia, but also serenity.<\/p>\n\n There is a farewell, but not necessarily a definitive ending.<\/p>\n\n And there is one idea that runs through the entire composition: some people leave a mark that remains even after they are gone.<\/p>\n\n Maybe that’s why the title works so well.<\/p>\n\n Because the wind never stands still.<\/p>\n\n And because there are memories that, like the east wind, always find a way to return.<\/p>\n\n \u201cLevante\u201d is now available on digital platforms.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\u201cLevante\u201d and When a Love Story Becomes a Song<\/h2>\n\n
