The artist Aitana and the singer Sam Smith On Friday, August 9, they published a version of the British singer's hit song "Like I Can," included in the British singer's first album, which is now 10 years old and has been reissued.
In this version, Aitana sings in Spanish while Smith does so in English, thus uniting their voices to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the British singer's multi-platinum "In the lonely hour."
Hours after announcing the collaboration, the artists posted a video on their networks with a conversation between them in which they talk about this work.
Compliments come and go
"Thank you for blessing my song with your amazing voice," says the British singer to the Spanish singer, who is full of praise for him. "I'm a huge, huge fan of yours, thank you for letting me be a part of this, I think it's a great song, I listened to it when I was very young and now to be on your anniversary album is incredible," says Aitana.
Smith explains that the song means a lot to him and that it is "very special" to share it with Aitana: "I love your voice, your music, everything you do, I am happy for what we are going to do together soon, it is going to be wonderful," added the singer.
The Catalan connected from Ibiza, where she spends her holidays, and showed the pool of the house where Smith is staying, which highlighted the sun that Aitana enjoys compared to the darkness of the living room from which he was speaking.
