Guitarricadelafuente and Troye Sivan Collaborate on ‘Midsummer Pipe Dream’
Guitarricadelafuente and Troye Sivan Collaborate Again
The Release of "Pipe Dream"
Guitarricadelafuente, whose real name is Álvaro Lafuente, has teamed up once more with Troye Sivan. Recently, he unveiled a remix of his single “Pipe Dream,” originally from his album Spanish Leather. This collaboration showcases their unique musical connection.
Meaningful Connections
In a statement, Lafuente expressed how significant this partnership is for him. “Closing the circle with Troye has been an incredible experience. Being the only feature on each other’s albums feels deeply meaningful to me,” he remarked. He highlighted that “Pipe Dream” continues the journey initiated in “In My Room”—immersing listeners in a dreamlike ambience.
The Music Video
Directed by Really Sorry, the music video begins with Lafuente floating in the ocean before transitioning to scenes of him diving, reading a book, and relaxing with a pipe. There are moments of him on a sunlit patio, with snails crawling across him, adding an artistic touch to the visuals.
As the video progresses, Troye Sivan’s vocals seamlessly blend into the track. The imagery of caterpillars nibbling on a watermelon provides a unique backdrop to their harmonious chorus, culminating with Lafuente playfully wielding a sword on the beach.
The Lyrics
Their lyrics resonate on a personal level: “Do you want to wake up from this pipe dream?/This thing you give me, I like it,” they sing in Spanish. This catchy line encapsulates the essence of the song, reflecting on cherished memories of youth while celebrating the connection they share.
Previous Collaborations
The remix of “Pipe Dream” marks their second collaboration, following their work on Sivan’s track “In My Room” from the album Something to Give Each Other. It remains notable as the only duet on that project. During his performance at Primavera Sound in Spain, Sivan honored his friend by sporting a “Full Time Papi” shirt.
Context of the Release
Lafuente’s “Pipe Dream” remix follows the May release of his second album, Spanish Leather, which includes popular tracks like “Full Time Papi” and “Babieca.” This partnership certainly reinforces the growing synergy between these two talented artists.
Are you excited to see where this collaboration takes them next?
