Interview with Javier only: "I am very sincere when writing, which allows me to contextualize each song" - Mariskalock.com

Why have you encouraged yourself in a project like this at this time in your career?Why not before or a couple of years later?

“Fifteen years of musical career well deserve a break to assimilate everything lived and tied with double knot the shoes to run to the future.I hope to repeat a book-disco at 20, at 25, at 30, etc..".

Since June 12 we can listen to the album ‘When my soul is a songbook, your face is a poem’.What can you tell us about the book that accompanies him?

“With him I have tried to review my entire career, but also reflect my evolution as a lyricist and as a person.I am very sincere when writing, which allows me to contextualize each song, why it was written, where, and the changes that caused me both the story that tells and writing it and sharing it. 15 años de trayectoria dan desde luego para innumerables historias y anécdotas que recordar".

However, for this book you have put the limit in 50 songs that Desgranas.How have you elaborated this selection?

“All the songs that I have written throughout my life keep a meaning, a necessity, but these 50 songs are very special, because they caused personal or residence changes in me.You just have to read it, let go and give the play when we find one of the 17 stories that are included in the CD. Cuento y canto muchos secretos".

Have you written before prose?How complicated results in comparison to compose songs?

“I can say that I am a writer by accident, but the truth is that I liked the experience.I do not rule out writing Volume II of ‘When my soul is a songbook, your face is a poem’.In fact, some relatives and friends who follow me from the beginning have reminded me of some songs that I don't even have on hard drives. Tendré que hacer un rastreo mejor entre mis papeles a ver qué encuentro".

In these 15 years, the list of artists with whom you have collaborated is huge.With what musicians with whom you have not touched, you would like to have the opportunity to work in the future?

“Recording a song with Fito would be a huge luxury, I follow it from its first album.Depedro has been a discovery of a little, and I would also like to do something with him;It is pure energy and optimism.Let's see if it hits me!And here I plant me, because there are many artists that I admire and with whom I would like to work. Este oficio permite unas sinergias, unas oportunidades de mezcla y compromiso mutuo que me encantan".

In ‘When my soul is a songbook, your face is a poem’ we find, along with remixes of several of your best known songs, songs never published before.How much unpublished material do you have?Will we have the opportunity to listen more soon?

“Well, I have an album of one of my old bands, reckless, which we publish integral later because it is not available on any digital platform and in physical format we no longer have.We'll see. Pero ahora mismo tenemos otros objetivos".

Once it seems that the hardest of this pandemic has happened, what live plans do you consider?

“We have prepared a live‘ Turn fifteen years and one day ’both in electric and acoustic to present this book-Disco.And we already have several commitments closed throughout the Peninsula and for Mexico. A ver si esta tragedia nos permite ir, poco a poco, retomando los escenarios cada vez con más público".

"Behind a tragedy there is always a change opportunity.We must try to materialize dreams, now and always.We already know that it is never too late and that the street is full of opportunities.Let's walk by leaving our instinct the helm, and let life surprise us. Un fuerte abrazo a todas y todos desde Castelldans".
