Rolling Stone: Claire Shaffer: August 6th 2021
Elvis Costello has shared the latest single from Spanish Model, his upcoming Spanish-language edition of This Year’s Model. “La Chica De Hoy” (“This Year’s Girl”) gets a new rendition from Chilean pop star Cami, who also appears in a “Subterranean Homesick Blues”-inspired music video for the song released on Friday.
“It is an honor for me to be invited to perform the Spanish version of the classic ‘This Year’s Girl’ by the maestro, Elvis Costello,” Cami said in a statement. “I consider myself part of a major change in the music industry regarding women and I feel like this song was very pioneering at the time, in the debate on gender equity. I am very thankful this type of song exists so we can engage in a dialogue and have a debate over subject matter that is still very relevant today. Women are grateful that lyrics like these exist for all of us.”
