Estrella Morente: "There is no hatred or resentment towards Rosalía. Why should that animosity and that nonsense be created for what I said?"
Estrella Morente discusses her latest album and addresses the public perceived animosity towards fellow artist Rosalía.
Estrella Morente, a renowned cantaora from Granada, reflects on her recent work 'De Estrella a Estrellas', which she created in collaboration with legendary saxophonist Tim Ries of The Rolling Stones. This album pays homage to the legacies of iconic female musicians across genres, presenting their works through a flamenco jazz lens. Morente emphasizes the artistic freedom and creativity that guided the making of this album, which seeks to capture the essence of various musical influences.
In a recent interview, Morente touches upon her relationship with contemporary artists, particularly addressing the discourse surrounding Rosalía. Despite some media narratives, Morente expresses that there is no animosity or resentment towards Rosalía, questioning why such negative sentiments are manufactured around her statements. This highlights a broader trend in the music industry, where rivalry and conflict are often sensationalized to create headlines, overshadowing the collaborative spirit of artists.
As she prepares for a tour featuring songs from various iconic figures such as Rocío Jurado and Édith Piaf, Morente's focus remains on celebrating artistic expression rather than engaging in drama. Her perspective encourages audiences to appreciate the music for its emotional depth and cultural significance instead of getting caught up in controversies between artists.
