With the moving naturalness that characterizes her and with her guitar as the protagonist, Mafalda Cardenal returns with 'this was going to be a love song', another of those songs that are catapulting her as a new generational icon. She is moving towards what will become her first album in 2025. With songs like the one she releases today, February 7th, and at 22 years old, the singer-songwriter has already experienced the feeling of bringing together 2,000 people at the Riviera in Madrid and traveling with her music through Spain and Mexico.
As its name suggests, 'this was going to be a love song', starts as a romantic ballad and ends up being quite the opposite. It is an honest confession about everything that happens when love leaves, and there is one sentence that sums it all up: "tell me what I do with all this love." It is not just a breakup song, but rather a reflection on what to do with feelings and how to manage them when the relationship ends. It is an anthem to sad Mondays, to unsent letters, and to that love that, no matter how hard we try, is not so easily forgotten.
The name Mafalda Cardenal is linked to a new era of Spanish pop. Songs like 'tu fan', with which she became known and which already has 90 million streams, or like 'solo un nombre' and 'vete a la luna' describe the essence of a moving artist. These are songs that emerge from her room and connect with her followers through emotional sincerity.
Mafalda writes "what she would have liked to hear when she was going through a difficult time" and shares it with young people like her through her songs. These are stories as real and profound as the one she is releasing now. Mafalda has turned a pink guitar and a broken heart into an increasingly promising musical project.
