Spanish singer-songwriter Conchita has released an audio preview of her upcoming single Elena y Antonio in Madrid ahead of its scheduled release on September 25.
The track serves as the lead single and opening song for her upcoming studio album, La vida adulta, which is set to arrive in February.
The release marks the beginning of a structured rollout for the project. The album consists of 13 chapters in total, with Elena y Antonio representing the first instalment.
Single details and story line
Accompanying the audio snippet, Conchita shared a summary of the narrative behind the track. She explained that the previews were officially under way and outlined how the story begins at a party where Elena and Antonio meet for the first time amidst noise, chatter, and music.
She added that although the two characters do not know each other or what lies ahead, they both share an instant intuition that something major is about to occur.
The previewed snippet also reveals a portion of the song's lyrics. Conchita sings that planets exploded when Elena crashed the gathering and her eyes met Antonio, who was sitting at a table in the back. The lyrics depict a spark heard all around and a surge of heart palpitations as their eyes meet.
Musically, the shared excerpt features an epic instrumental foundation while retaining the pop essence that has made Conchita a regular fixture on Spanish radio station CADENA 100.
Production and cover art
The production of the track was led by Pablo Cebrián, a prominent producer in Spanish pop music, with vocal recording handled by David Parejo.
Conchita also provided details regarding the visual design for the single. She explained that she collaborated with Pepe Botella and Pauuli on the cover concept for the first chapter, with final cover credits shared between designer Carlos Arocha and Conchita herself.
She indicated that she plans to reveal further behind-the-scenes material and visuals in the days leading up to the single's release.
Album announcement and rollout schedule
Conchita first announced the project on September 1 after taking time away from public appearances to focus on writing and production. Following the launch of Elena y Antonio on September 25, the singer plans to release a new chapter of La vida adulta every three weeks.
The upcoming record will be her eighth studio album, building on a recording career that spans nearly two decades in Spanish contemporary pop.
When initially teasing the project on September 1, Conchita shared an instrumental backing track that she confirmed was the album intro, composed by Francis Hernández.
Addressing her followers, she described feelings of nervousness and happiness ahead of the release, adding that she was deeply proud of the extensive preparation involved. She noted that she was unable to fully express the immense effort that went into the album and praised the talented collaborators who helped bring her mental vision to life, promising to introduce them gradually as each chapter unfolds.
