It’s a case of forbidden love for Juanes.

The 50-year-old Colombian rocker has just released his new single “Amores Prohibidos.”

Juanes imagines secret lovers separated during the pandemic in the seductive track, which fuses cumbia, electro rock/funk rhythms and classic guitar riffs and solos.

“There will be some god that blesses forbidden loves, and between ‘I love you’ and ‘I love you’, don’t see a threat,” the rockstar sings in the chorus, en español. “There will be some god that blesses fleeting loves, I want what you want, you want what I want,” he goes on.

“The song idea began from an article I read during the pandemic on the difficulty of maintaining private relationships, those that could not be known to the world,” Juanes says in a press release.

The accompanying music video, directed by José Emilio Sagaró, is an intimate, sensual abstract piece that presents different couples and groups of people in bed, while Juanes strums his guitar and sings.

“Amores Prohibidos” is the first single of the rock star’s upcoming album, to be released in 2023.
