Tiziano Ferro - "El Amor Es Una Cosa Simple" Era

[Juanca]

The original Italian version of the album was released in November 2011. As with 4 previous albums, a Spanish version of this album was later released, (in March 2012 in Mexico and in September 2012 in Spain), including 9 songs in Spanish, 4 n Italian and 1 in English.

The first single was "La Diferencia Entre Tu Y Yo" (October 2011), which showed a more electro/pop/rock than what Tiziano is used to bringing.


The second single was "La Ultima Noche Del Mundo" (March 2012), which follows more of Tiziano's Italian ballad style

The third single in Mexico, and first single in Spain is a dramatic, powerful duo with Malu, "El Amor Es Una Cosa Simple", released in August 2012 (so hard to find a video that can be watched in the US!!!)


[FYI, in parallel the third Italian single was "Per Dirti Ciao" ("Te Digo Adios"), which may be released in Spanish at some point later


Tiziano was also featured in the single by Baby K, released in January 2013, which continued a period of high visibility, especially after his participation in the Spanish version of The Voice (La Voz), as advisor to Malu


The fourth single (2nd in Spain) is "El Fin", whose video in Italian was just released last month:

It's great to see Tiziano continuing advancing his career throughout Latin America, including after his coming out of the closet. I have been a fan since I first heard his material from Rojo Relativo back in 2001. His powerful voice, cool personality, slick production, have always had a place in my music preferences. I would like for him to push a bit more his own boundaries in terms of his singles, though. I know he has a signature sound, but he has always been able to mix it up with more funky, groovy songs. Hope he does more of that in his next album.

Yaaay Tiziano! I'm obviously a huge fan, I even have a blog where I post news and translations from his books.

Does he still get airplay in Latin America? I thought after the Mexico controversy his career in the Americas was pretty much over.

Do you mean his comments about the 'ugly and mustached' Mexican women
Although an unfortunate comment, one thing that you should keep in mind is that Mexico is almost a whole different market than that of South America. For starters, Mexico supports his artists more than those from Spain and much much more than those from the south. Whereas in South America we are more open to different influences and furthermore there is an overall perception that Mexican music is led by mass-produced commercial artists. So what happens in Mexico is not necessarily translated into the rest of LatinAmerica -although of course the Mexican market is the biggest one.

I was just catching up with more recent news about Tiziano.... Didn't know about the news of an apparent suicidal attempt after news of a relationship with Miguel Bosé :o was that true???

Ah I see. Well it wasn't just Mexico, he also said El Salvador shouldn't exist and that Colombia's not safe. It was all in jest but I thought the whole continent banned him after that, cause the media reported it like they were serious comments.

And no that is just stupid gossip. He briefly had to go to the hospital last year after food poisoning. He was never in a relationship with Miguel Bosé, he had a boyfriend for two years but it was an Italian "commoner" and they never went public, to protect his privacy (and in my opinion also to keep his image as asexual as possible, to not alienate his fans). But they broke up a few months ago, he went on TV to talk about it after the gossip sites went crazy with the stories that you just mentioned.
