Rael Diaz, a Peruvian-American musician, just dropped his newest tune, “Amor Toxico.” The Spanish ballad is based on a true narrative that took place in the musician’s life and is a real-life event. The song’s inspiration came from a difficult breakup he experienced with his last partner in 2016.
The song is about how the two parted ways. During the difficult time, his ex wanted to find a way to vent her anger. She then continued writing extensively and anonymously on a well-known blogging platform. She told the artist about the blog a few months after it was published. He remembers reading the blog, or the “letter,” she had written to him, and reflecting on how much of it was true for himself.
He nearly felt as though he had written the blog himself because the realisation was so profound. Because of how meaningful the experience was and how much he learned about himself, Rael has often thought back on that blog. He also made excellent observations about how his partner looked at him.
Six years later, in 2022, Rael was mulling over ideas for a new song when the same blog came to mind. He returned and read the blog again, feeling inspired to turn that letter into a song. Since they get along well, Rael talked to her about the idea and, with her agreement, translated the blog from English to Spanish before putting it together as a song and singing it. It’s vital to notice that he didn’t alter the music in any way.
Because it was a song composed specifically for Rael, it was a particularly special tune for him. Rael Diaz has worked with producers all around the world, including those in Argentina, Germany, and Colombia, as a result of the widespread popularity of his music. Rael Diaz enjoys a large global fan base. Two TikTok and Instagram profiles he owns and manages have a combined following of 2.3 million users.
He has worked with numerous independent and signed musicians from all over the world who have released their songs as videos with Spanish lyrics. Rael Diaz hopes to overcome linguistic barriers through his music by continuing to create music that everybody can listen to and enjoy.
