Review

This song is a manifesto about love, its infinite forms and about its diversity. This is part of Kevin Johansen´s new album, and he invited Natalia lafourcade to sing it with him.

The release of “Tú ve” is accompanied by a lyric documentary video in which we can see the creative process of Kevin and Natalia in Veracruz, Mexico.

This song is a manifesto about love, its infinite forms, and its diversity. It talks about timing in a love story and how we can choose to care for each other even when we are in different stages of love. 

This is a slow but intense song. The lyrics are easy to understand. But the lingo script was more complicated to achieve.
