Becky G has expressed her enthusiasm regarding her recent collaboration with Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco on the track “Te Olvido (La La)”. In an interview conducted on Apple Music’s Zane Lowe Show, the 29-year-old singer reflected on the experience, describing it as “more than cool” — she characterised it as a “beautiful” moment in her career.
The single, which draws inspiration from cumbia music, was released on July 31 and features on Blanco’s latest studio album titled *Hermoso*. Not only did the trio work together on the song, but they also filmed a music video around Los Angeles’ bustling Santee Alley, where Becky performed her own stunts during filming. She humorously remarked that while she would like to claim it was by choice, Benny insisted that everyone should take part in their own stunts.
Sharing her thoughts on the collaboration, Becky noted how grateful she felt to have been invited by Blanco to join his album. Their longstanding friendship, she explained, is rooted in mutual respect and understanding, with Benny witnessing her artistic evolution over the years. “He’s always been this person who very early on I remember meeting and I would never forget,” she reflected, highlighting the significant role he has played in her journey as an artist.
The music video for “Te Olvido (La La)” showcases not just the vibrant chemistry among the trio but also Becky’s dynamic personality. After its release, she took to Instagram to celebrate the experience, playfully referring to herself as the “third wheel” in the charming dynamic between Gomez and Blanco. It is clear that the collaboration brought her joy and excitement, reinforcing the connection they share through their artistry.
In addition to her work with Blanco, Becky G has also been busy with the release of her own album, *Baraja Bendita*, which debuted on August 14. In her announcement, she articulated that the album signifies a critical turn in her career — one that embraces her multifaceted identity. “For so long, people wanted to define me by one thing… This album isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about fully owning every part of who I’ve always been,” she emphasised, suggesting a desire for artistic freedom and the importance of self-acceptance.
The singer-songwriter’s evolution has been notable, as she embraces a blend of her heritage and musical influences. As she continues to explore her artistry, fans can expect the new sounds and stories encapsulated in *Baraja Bendita* to reflect her growth as a performer.
On top of her album release, Becky G is currently serving as a special guest on Karol G’s *Viajando Por el Mundo Tropitour*, a tour that celebrates Latin music and showcases the vibrancy of the genre. The tour is anticipated to be an exciting opportunity for her to connect with audiences while promoting her new music.
As Becky G embarks on this new chapter, her collaborations and solo projects illustrate her dedication to not only her craft but also her heritage. With strong ties to her roots, she appears poised to influence the music scene for years to come. Her recent ventures with talented artists like Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco undoubtedly pave the way for further groundbreaking work in the future, reflecting a rich tapestry of culture and artistry in her music.
In a time when the industry continues to evolve, Becky’s journey serves as an inspiration to many aspiring musicians, reinforcing the notion that embracing one’s authentic self is the key to truly resonating within the competitive world of music.
