About the album
Cuerpo a cuerpo, according to DoReSol
The album opens with Cuerpo a cuerpo, a track that sets the tone with its lively rhythm and arrangements by Luis Mendo, but quickly gives way to Cine, cine, where Aute indulges his obsession with cinema. The song pays homage to Les Quatre Cents Coups by François Truffaut (1959) and revisits other films that shaped his youth, all wrapped in music that oscillates between retro and playful. Later, Una de dos becomes the album’s anthem: an irony disguised as a romantic dilemma, with a catchy chorus that encapsulates his genius for blending the everyday with the profound. And at the other extreme, Dos o tres segundos de ternura unfolds as a slow ballad where the singer-songwriter lays bare his vulnerabilities with a languid heaviness.
Yet Cuerpo a cuerpo is not limited to these three pillars. In Buitres y tiburones, for example, Aute plays with surreal imagery that, nonetheless, feels strangely familiar, as if absurdity were part of his daily life. The album sold well and stayed weeks in the top 10 of charts, proving that even in his most accessible ventures, the artist remained a benchmark. It wasn’t a passing album, but a work that, unintentionally, became a bridge between his most loyal fans and those discovering him for the first time.
