telepatía

About this song

Kali Uchis released telepatía on November 17, 2020 as part of her second album, Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios) ∞, and it became her third single in late February 2021 after gaining popularity on TikTok. The bilingual track has dream pop touches and was produced by Tainy, Manuel Lara and Albert Hype. Lara has said the song was not originally planned for the album, since the rest of the second half leaned toward dembow and reggaeton-style rhythms. The music video was shot in Pereira, the city where Uchis spent part of her childhood, and she directed the edit herself; it was uploaded to YouTube on March 18, 2021, and had to be re-uploaded three times due to audio and video sync errors.

What it's about

The song is inspired by the idea of communicating spiritually with someone you cannot be with. Uchis has said it was partly shaped by the events of the global quarantine, and that she felt the world needed some healing.
