We previously reported that Juanes plans on transfixing his bilingual fans with his latest track “Odio Por Amor/Hate For Love.” After word came out about his new single, rumors quickly spread that the "Me Enamora" singer was preparing to seduce gringo audiences with an English album. Fortunately, Juanes is setting the record straight once and for all...
The roquero cleared the air exclusively with the Colombian newspaper "El Tiempo," and explained why he decided to add an English chorus to his new track. The "Gotas De Agua Dulce" musician clarified that his intention was not to become a crossover star, but to simply promote universal peace and love.
He continued expressing his linguistic loyalty to Spanish:
Cantar en español representa lo que soy, es el idioma en el que vivo, en el que escribo mis canciones. No podría pensar en otro idioma. Hemos cantado en lugares jamás imaginados en español y hacerlo en inglés o en otro idioma sería dar un paso atrás.
The humanitarian may focus his energy on global issues and his musical career, but he admitted that his most important role is being an active padre:
Estoy totalmente enamorado de mis hijas y de mi esposa, tengo la familia más bella del mundo. Luna (de cinco años) ya entró al colegio y está en clases de piano, canto y pintura. Me siento un hombre feliz por mi música, mi familia, mis dos hijas que son, con mi esposa, mi adoración. No sé cómo agradecer a Dios la felicidad de tenerlas.
This man has the moral compass and intellect of a king! If only he had an extra crown for us. Si o no? [La Oreja]
