Spanish music duo Marlena released their new single Amiga Date Cuenta on Friday, September 11, 2026, introducing a fresh sonic direction for the group.
The track, added to the new music roster on Spanish radio station Cadena 100, is formatted as a mid-tempo pop anthem designed to encourage listeners to sing out their feelings during each chorus.
Produced by Fernando Boix, the song marks the second preview track from Marlena's upcoming musical project. Band members Ana and Carol explore new creative territory by blending synthesizers with folk instrumentation, combining organic elements and contemporary textures while retaining their core pop identity.
Lyrically, the song serves as an ode to friends who remain stuck in toxic or unhelpful relationships without realizing it. Marlena sing from the perspective of a friend who recognizes warning signs early and offers a supportive shoulder when the romance eventually breaks down, reflecting advice that many people have given to loved ones.
New Sound and Production Style
The release represents a more mature and refined sound for Ana Legazpi and Carol Moyano as they define the next phase of their musical evolution. The Spanish phrase amiga date cuenta translates to friend, wake up to reality, a common colloquial phrase used throughout Spanish pop culture when offering relationship advice.
Working alongside producer Fernando Boix, the duo crafted a production that balances electronic keyboard sounds with traditional acoustic elements. Spanish nationwide station Cadena 100 showcased the single as part of its regular music programming and weekly new releases list.
Previous Singles and Concert Tour
Amiga Date Cuenta follows Marlena's previous single released in July 2026, titled Aleluya, which featured a collaboration with singer Ters. That release delivered a fresh and casual pop style that helped the duo secure their place within the competitive Spanish music industry.
Prior to Aleluya, the group released Nadie Se Muere De Amor, a track that shifted their thematic focus from heartbreak to the value of friendship. The duo also expanded their live audience during the Pies Sin Plomo Tour, which included a successful show at the Sant Jordi Club venue in Barcelona, a city they regard as their second home, where they performed their song A Pleno Pulmon during a concert filled with surprises.
Marlena plan to continue revealing additional tracks from their new creative project in upcoming releases, building upon the musical universe introduced by their latest single.
