Inside Pablo Alborán's symphonic album recording: "Now I understand songs I wrote at age 12"
The Malaga singer has carried out a series of recordings with the London Symphony Orchestra at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. The project aims to reinterpret a dozen of his biggest hits through an instrumental and balanced format, blending classical orchestra sounds with the style of his pop music.
During the sessions, Alborán has publicly stated that he now understands better the lyrics he wrote when he was twelve years old. "Now I understand songs I wrote at age 12," he said in a recent interview, highlighting how his current artistic experience allows him to reevaluate the original meaning of those compositions from a more mature perspective.
The symphonic album is not designed as a tribute to his early years but rather as a reflection on his musical and personal evolution. Although it is an artistic production, Alborán has emphasized that the recording process also represents "a gift to himself" for gaining deeper insight into his creative journey.
