José González returns with first new music in six years "El Invento"
José González is back with new song "El Invento", released exactly six years on from his last album Vestiges & Claws.
"El Invento" was conceived in Grez-sur-Loing, France in 2018 before being finished in his Swedish home, and marks González's first new material in six years.
The new track is González's first Spanish-language single, and is also his first solo music to be released via City Slang.
According to a press release, the track was inspired by the birth of his daughter.
González says, "Every now and then I try to write lyrics in Spanish - this time I succeeded! I guess talking to Laura in Spanish every day helped. I started writing "El Invento" around 2017 when she was born. The song is about the questions - who we are, where we’re going and why? Whom can we thank for our existence? Historically, most traditions have invented answers to these questions. Thereof the name of the song: The Invention (god)."
The Argentinian-Swedish singer/songwriter is yet to follow up his 2015 album Vestiges & Claws.
