Spanish music icon Alejandro Sanz, keeping his followers on their toes, attracted with perhaps cryptic lyrics hinting at the never-heard-before song. The Grammy Award winner Sanz shared four lines of poetic text with repetition-the other night I dreamed of you, interspersed with strange lines about cold movements and downward gazes.

Mysteriously, Sanz does not clarify these melancholic lyrics, and the post soon became over-engaged by his global fanbase. Most speculated that it might be some promo for new music, even for some sort of collaboration, just because Shakira was cryptically tagged therein.
While reactions poured in praising him, others were playful: “If that’s really you in the profile picture, you look good enough to eat.” Some pleaded, “When are you coming to Argentina to give us kisses?” The alleged connection with Shakira sent the fans into frenzy, with loads of comments honoring the artistic alliance, such as, “This duo is my favorite,” and “Epic pairing that never goes out of style.”
However, there were some detractors. Some called it “ugly,” and one remarked among others, “This song would’ve been better as a pop ballad instead of reggaeton.” Others too lamented: “They had everything to make a great video but failed.” To which some of their supporters replied, “When there’s real talent, you don’t need anything else – just their art.”

Mentioning Shakira, duly or incorrectly, served to burn yet another spark on the sort of rumors suggesting the treatment of some new venture with her. Since their award-winning 2005 hit “La Tortura” swept the Latin Grammys, their fans have been lusting for more collaborations. An artist’s comment nailed their chemistry: “Between you two, it’s not just chemistry – it’s biochemistry!” Another commented almost poetically, “Shakira and Sanz make even black and white feel colorful.”
Some responses were halfway into politics. One said, “More kisses and fewer weapons.” Another went against Sanz, asking why he remained silent about Palestine compared to his vocal support of Venezuela in the past. These harsh comments juxtaposed with a sea of heart emojis, adoration, and praises for beauty and talent.
Sanz has always been inside the player’s head through poetic, emotionally raw lyrics. This teaser is doing just that, casting a little shade to keep people guessing. Were these lines for a new track, either solo or with Sanz and Shakira in duet, or just standing for poetic musings? In any case, they have already peaked the interest in anything that the Spanish superstar will be doing next.

The mixed response is proof of one takeaway; after nearly decades in the spotlight, Sanz somehow continues to grab people by the collar and engage them in the conversation. Partial pieces of lyrics can launch an endless and fiery discourse on artistic direction, political responsibility, and the undying appeal of musical soulmates. Whatever comes his way next, there’s no doubt that Sanz shall be listened to by an ardent following.
