The music and career of the American singer Whitney Houston continue to inspire various artists around the world, especially other performers who are working to break through and find new opportunities in the music industry, just as the singer of I will always love you.
Houston’s musical legacy will get even closer to its Latin American audience starting today with the premiere of the autobiographical film I wanna dance with somebody (Sony Pictures), which arrives today, Thursday, February 2, at Ecuadorian cinemas, starring the British actress Naomi Ackie and directed by Kasi Lemmons.
Although Whitney passed away in February 2012, for the Ecuadorian singer-songwriter Do Blanco the hope of performing a duet with the superstar does not disappear. “I wouldn’t rule it out, because, in fact, Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake have a song postmortem and that it is super cool; It is in my top 5 songs ”, she commented in an interview for this newspaper.
“Whitney was undoubtedly an artist with a unique vocal and entertainment capacity.“, he claimed. “A theme that I cannot miss in my playlists is I will always love youand i like it too Greatest love of all”.
How do you feel reflected by also being a female artist in that industry?
I went through a pretty abusive situation from this person who represented me; and I felt, in some way, that because I was a woman and because I was young, they were trying to impose some things on me, or they wanted to make you feel that perhaps you were doing it wrong.
In the film we also see the character of Clive Davis (Stanley Tucci), who always looked out for Whitney’s best musical interests. How important is someone trustworthy for an artist?
That figure is super necessary in the life of an artist, because, of course, you do everything from the heart, write your songs, try to do your best, but sometimes have an external look that can guide you a bit and land some of your ideas. in a better way is very beneficial.
Whitney managed to sing what she wanted and have it become a hit. How is the struggle of an artist to achieve that dream?
It has a lot to do with your authenticity. There will always be people who will give their opinion about what you want to do, and it can sometimes be from a positive position. But I believe that when you are authentic and believe in what you are doing, that will only attract the right people; and that is essential: that those who identify with what you are doing stay. The most important thing is to arrive with an honest message and a message that can transcend personally.
The spectacular nature of their concerts also stands out in the film. What lessons does that facet of the singer leave you?
I think that’s the coolest thing, because when you’re live is when you realize which songs have the most significance for your fans, for the people who listen to you. So the theme of people bringing your songs to life in another way is also an amazing thing.
