The Cuban-Spanish singer-songwriter Amaury Muro unveiled his much-anticipated single "Overbooking de amor" this Friday. The song, delivered with a touch of irony, delves into the intricacies of polyamory and the responsibilities that come with emotional entanglements. Muro creatively employs décima verses, blending a variety of rhythms such as bossa nova, son, pop, and a hint of reparto. Available on all digital platforms since November 8, the track offers a unique musical experience.
Polyamorous Chaos: A Tale of Overbooked Love
"Overbooking de amor" narrates the journey of a polyamorous individual who becomes ensnared in emotional turmoil, ultimately finding themselves unexpectedly alone. Residing in Madrid, Muro admits that while he hasn't personally engaged in polyamorous relationships, he sees them as not suitable for everyone. Yet, he revealed to CiberCuba that he once ventured into the dynamics of an "open relationship."
The track draws inspiration from the experiences of friends who embraced the idea of "loving big" without exclusive commitments. It likens polyamory to an "overbooked airplane," where an abundance of emotional connections can sometimes exceed one's capacity for tolerance.
