One of the most popular artists in the music industry today, Karol G, has surprised the world with her new single “Contigo”. The song has had a great reach on digital platforms, with almost 40 million plays on YouTube and more than 50 million plays on Spotify. “Contigo” has generated surprise for its strong resemblance to Leona Lewis’ hit “Bleeding Love.” This song was a big topic of debate because according to the public, the Bichota had plagiarized the original song.

But through a video she posted on her social networks, Karol G expressed that it was not plagiarism but that the idea of this song was somehow to pay tribute to the original song and Karol G has hired one of the composers of Bleeding Love, Ryan Tedder, to make it official.

Karol G also commented that she had a previous conversation with Leona Lewis where they talked about this idea that DJ Tiësto had given Karol to bring out this new collaboration. Leona Lewis expressed that she was very happy that Karol G could bring this song to her audience and that the people who had originally heard it could enjoy it again. This sincere conversation between two great artists was a very emotional moment for the Colombian and her fans.

With her new single, Karol G has not only managed to pay tribute to a song that marked an era, but has also demonstrated that in music there are no limits and that collaborations between artists can result in true masterpieces. In “Contigo”, the paisa shows once again her talent and versatility, and continues to consolidate herself as one of the main exponents of the urban genre in the Latin music scene.
