José González has released his first Spanish-language single.
El Invento also marks the Swedish singer-songwriter's first new music since the release of his 2015 album 'Vestiges & Claws'. He began writing it around the time his daughter was born, he explained:
“Every now and then I try to write lyrics in Spanish—this time I succeeded! I guess talking to Laura in Spanish every day helped. I started writing ‘El Invento’ around 2017 when she was born. The song is about the questions—who we are, where we’re going and why? Whom can we thank for our existence? Historically, most traditions have invented answers to these questions. Thereof the name of the song: The Invention (god).”
The track revolves around finger-picked guitar and González's double-tracked, understated vocals. Head below to check it out, alongside the single's artwork by Hannele Fernström and its Mikel Cee Karlsson-directed video.
