mi cama
album — 2023
Mi Cama (Studio Version) is a captivating reggaeton track that delves into the depths of desire and longing. It tells the story of a passionate individual yearning for a love that isn’t there anymore. The opening riff (sung by kelly alvarenga) represents how his ex-lover’s voice keeps coming back and he keeps hearing her in his dreams, as sung in the song. (Y aunque no estés, tú sigues regresando…aunque no estés, te veo en mis sueños …) The reggaeton rhythm provides the bouncy backdrop for the lyrics to take center stage. Chipelo says in the pre-chorus how much he doesn’t care, but confesses in the verses and chorus that he misses his lover in his bed and he keeps hoping things will change, that he will wake up from this nightmare, but every day it’s the same: she’s gone.
In Mi Cama (Versión Acústica), the same idea is captured; the lyrics are the same, the tempo is almost the same as well. This acoustic version was made to really embody that hurt and pain. chipelo plays it on his nylon string guitar, so the strings sound softer and more intimate.
If this version is chipelo on stage of thousands singing for his lover to come back, the acoustic version is chipelo singing to himself to get him through the pain, emphasized by the lowercase spelling, as it is almost a whispered confession, until the final chorus builds and chipelo cries out the lyrics.
