On October 1, Maki and María Artés released a new version of the song that once changed everything for them, with Andy joining the project. Called 'Quisiera parar el tiempo 2', the track revisits a moment that shaped their story, now seen from a different perspective. The release reaches beyond a remake.
The original 'Quisiera parar el tiempo' began as a wedding gift from Maki to María Artés in 2016. It didn’t stay private for long: couples across Spain found their own stories in its lyrics. The song’s first public release, later with Demarco Flamenco, anchored Maki’s 2018 album and became a basic stage in their shared career.
Andy joins the project after years with Andy & Lucas, bringing a new layer to the song. Its themes of time and love now also reflect change. Baghira and Dr. Neocórtex produced the track with the artists. The flamenco pop sound remains, though the arrangement has shifted, and the lyrics reflect what the last ten years have taught the artists. Listeners get nostalgia alongside something new.
Maki and María Artés are marking twenty years in music with their '20 Conmigo' tour across Spain. As they revisit the songs that built their careers, 'Quisiera parar el tiempo 2' connects their early days to the present. Andy’s part strengthens that bridge.
The new version keeps the original’s intimacy while opening the door to a bigger audience. The trio’s work looks beyond the past: they want to keep moving, with hints of more music and collaborations in 2027. Maki and María Artés, joined by Andy, are not slowing down.
By returning to a song so close to their lives, Maki and María Artés give its story another telling. Andy’s addition brings a new dimension to the track, showing how personal music can change and grow. For fans, 'Quisiera parar el tiempo 2' recalls the past while pointing to what’s next.
