Andrés Cepeda and Mexican band Reik, formed by Jesús Navarro, Julio Ramírez and Gilberto Marín release new single “Tu Despertador,” a song that talks about a relationship that’s taking a break and it’s hoping to go back to a time where things were better. It’s a plea to return and a romantic warning that a new love might not be better.
About the collaboration Andrés Cepeda says:
I always wanted to collaborate with Reik. I feel very well represented by these great friends whom I’ve really loved and admired for a long time, and you can feel it in the final version of this song. When I was asked about which Mexican artist I wanted to collaborate with, my first answer was always REIK. It’s wonderful to have coincided with Jesús on La Voz Colombia, where a great friendship began. This allowed me to meet his bandmates and to record this dream duet.
Jesús Navarro, REIK’s vocalist added:
One of the best things that happened to me on La Voz Colombia was meeting Andrés Cepeda. I had the opportunity to be closer to his career, and the quality of artist that he is and the passion with which he makes his music really impressed me. This song was recorded amidst a great camaraderie and produced by an incredible team. I’m thrilled and excited for our fans to hear it.
Andrés Torres and Mauricio Rengifo produced the song, which was recorded in Los Angeles and mixed and mastered by Tom Norris. The video was filmed at TV Azteca studios in Mexico City under the direction of Andrés Ibañez and producer StereoSonique.
