Are you excited for Nicky’s new music? Let us know in the comments!
Nicky Jam:
This new album is like a new Nicky Jam.
Tetris Kelly:
Nicky Jam has changed his record label, and we have the exclusive interview and announcement.
Leila Cobo:
Nicky, you are switching record labels after a long time with Sony. So where are you going, first of all?
Nicky Jam:
I’m going to Virgin Records. I went with my gut. I thought it was the best move to do. I have too much respect for AFO, the president of Sony Records, Sony Latin Records. It’s just sometimes you feel like you have to move. You know, it’s nothing personal, you know, it’s a mix of business and something that I just felt in my gut that it was the best move to do. I’m very spontaneous, and it’s just the way I am. I could say just, you know, I’m a bohemian. You know, I take my luggage and I go wherever I have to go, and it’s just the way I am.
Leila Cobo:
What were they offering you that you liked, or what did they bring to the table?
Nicky Jam:
A lot of things, man, family wise, their whole team and the creative part. This corporate way of coming out with music, to kill the buzz of the music, the momentum of the music, you have to wait four, five, six months to come out with a single. With these people at Virgin, I don’t have to wait. If I feel that a song’s gonna be a hit in a moment. They are not gonna mess with my creative part. And they’re gonna say, go ahead and come out. And that’s the way Bad Bunny works.
Keep watching for more!
