The song as a couch on which to pour out sorrows and hopes. “Jaula de oro” , Leiva 's new single, flies high in its moving sensitivity and shows us the artist in full compositional climax, with a song that displays the smell of wet earth, the color of bristly skin, the bittersweet taste of someone who intends to emerge unscathed from certain challenges and a musical texture as solid as it is delicate.

“Golden Jail” features the participation of his beloved compadre Knowing Russia (Mateo Sujatovich's celebrated musical project) and begins with autumnal serenity, just the piano and the voice, with a Leiva who expounds (in Mateo's mouth in this first stanza) his vulnerability without ambiguity or network. With the entry of the rest of the instruments, you begin to feel the emotion of the flight that soars: when self-esteem has gone into decline, there comes a moment when you have to say “now I believe in myself.” After the suggestive journey, “Golden Cage” closes with the same verse with which it began, honoring the verse: Spinning in loop mode like a hamster in my golden cage… And delivering one of the most confessional songs, refined and brilliant of his already memorable and extensive career.

At the end of last year, the Madrid international went to Studio 0618 in Buenos Aires and recorded “Jaula de oro” with the help of renowned Buenos Aires producer Nico Cotton, who carried out the recording, mixing and mastering tasks. With Leiva taking charge of the acoustic and electric guitars, the voice, the choirs, and the percussions, the rest of the instrumentation fell to his good Argentine friends, the aforementioned Knowing Russia who, in addition to the voice, recorded the bass and the choirs ; Nico Bereciartúa (illustrious six-string magician who is playing with The Black Crowes) on electric guitar; Guille Salort (drummer of Knowing Russia) on drumsticks; and Yago Escrivá (founder of the folk-pop duo Ainda) and the subtle singer-songwriter Chechi de Marcos on backing vocals. In addition, Leiva once again has César Pop from the Leiband on piano.

The video clip that accompanies “Golden Cage” has the particularity of having been shot with the old analog 35mm film system. Sober and simple shots (the musicians playing the song on the bottom of a velvety club) filmed by Julien Lascar and produced by Blur Films, and in which Ovidi from Los Zigarros, Juancho from Sidecars, César Pop and José Bruno participate, these three last members of the Leiband.

For the rest, Leiva continues unstoppable on stage, with the second part of the When you bite your lip tour with upcoming stops in Salamanca (April 29), Gran Canaria (May 4), Tenerife (May 6), Rivas (May 14 May) and Donostia (May 20), and which has just added two new international events: National Auditorium in CDMX (October 28) and Luna Park in Buenos Aires (November 24). Tickets for the show at Luna Park in Buenos Aires on November 24 will go on sale on Tuesday the 2nd at 12 noon (Buenos Aires time).
