Lali in Caja Negra: “My dream is not to be a diva, it is that my work prevails over time”

Lali released her self-titled album and took Argentine pop to the TOP, with tributes and nods to the 2000s, references to iconic moments. “This album is the result of having lived the last ten years,” the artist told Julio Leiva in an interview that had everything from laughter to tears. The singer spoke of the moment she is currently living and also of that girl we met so many years ago with the first participations on television. “Mariana has a lot of values that Lali has erased because she is in a maelstrom. In this album is Mariana, there is enough of that, of my most sincere person, “he said. New albumI never feel like any record has been left to chance. I was free to my ages of that moment, to my impossibilities of each moment and to my talent, the one I felt I could have for each moment in which I made the records. This is an album that grabs me at a very special age, which I think is 30, which is an age where you already let go of some things, you already realize that you do not need them in life and discover others. The album has to do with my age, with a search, which I didn’t have at 22 when I made my first record. I feel that it is more worked, it is more thorough and I care much more about what I am going to say and how I am going to say it. I gave an instrumental framework to what I wanted to say is very me and I wasn’t afraid to go for those sounds. It’s my own journey, I was honest with my ages with what I did artistically. It characterizes me not having done anything to do. It has to do with evolutions, learning.
I would be a very rare human being if I thought the same at 20 and 30. Say. This album is the result of having lived the last ten years and having put on the table a lot of concepts that I thought were my contradictions. I’m different now. I feel that I am going with more power to what I want and I think it has to do with a maturity. We grew up with songs that told us: “Without you I can’t breathe, without you I will die, without you I am nothing”. This level of possession and also of holding the other responsible for happiness, which is super personal. You can have a very nice partner, but if in the individuality of those two people there is no valuation of you and your work and your personal development … He will always be blaming the other for the fact that you are not happy and you are never looking inward. Singing the anthem in the World Cup finalI really think I’m going to realize it over time, when I have more perspective on that moment. I realize, but I think there is some embarrassment of one, of accepting how magnificent it was that you keep it in the box of things. To have been there and to have lived that epic, incredible moment. In the end the nicest thing of all was that we did not lose because I was going to be the biggest yeta…. I had to be exiled from the country. I was very nervous, the whole microphone was shaking, which doesn’t happen to me so much. I remember waiting on the court line to get into my position and sing. When I stood there and saw the magnitude and the people… It was full of Argentines. It was reduced to thinking about my loved ones, I imagined them with their faces painted in front of the TV and flashing with me being there. I didn’t think so much about the millions upon millions of people who saw it. For the penalties, I had already forgotten what had happened because I could only suffer. He kicked the front seat and apologized to him. She was very taken out, like everyone else. There I was with Marley who took me and I will thank him forever. I was able to take my brother who has Messi tattooed on his prawn. Imagine what it was like for him. Love for ArgentinaI choose to live. One has the joy of moving a lot to other places and I always want to return. That’s what happens to me. I love being here, I feel that we have wonders that only happen here. There is an energy… We spent it like an ass in a thousand things. It’s a shame, because you have a rather strange privilege to do what you love and make money from it. It’s a huge privilege in this country, but I like to contribute here. Let mine happen here. If we go to the black box of your life, what is the moment that makes you the person you are today?: “I think Velez. Of all my last years… But I do not mean the magnitude of the fact, but because that day I understood what I was doing. I understood that it was around here. He talks about the album, with a lot of love. It’s something I did with a lot of effort and that this album is the one that filled a Vélez makes it become a moment where I understood that doing the most me, the most genuine”.
