David Bisbal presents ‘I Feel Alive’ Tour: ‘I’m glad AI has arrived to make life easier’
On Wednesday, David Bisbal presented his “I Feel Alive” tour, which will start on Saturday in Calvia (Mallorca) and end on December 6 at the WiZink Center (Madrid), and make sure that the arrival of artificial intelligence will not be. He is “scared” but “respected” and admits he is “delighted” at the arrival of the tool to “make life easier”.
“Personally, I really love technology. I love productivity software. I’m glad it arrived at this time. You don’t have to be afraid of it, I respect it, and I hope the most qualified experts can set boundaries so that people feel safe and see it as an improvement tool to make our lives easier,” he admitted in Interview with Europa Press.
The singer confirmed that in the best moment of his life, both personally and professionally, and after a career of 20 years, he is “having a lot of fun”. “It’s not the same as having five years of experience to be 20 and being very happy. Right now, I wouldn’t change this moment for anything,” he said.
Bisbal’s new album, “I Feel Alive” (Universal Music), has the “80s” sound and at the same time the “Latin core” that distinguishes the album from Almería, and which gives prominence in its songs to the ballads. He emphasized this by saying, “It’s a very strong pop album with the sounds of our land, which couldn’t be missing. I feel like I once again have great ballads from great productions on the record.”
“It’s an album that’s in keeping with the times and it’s different than what came before. I really want to see how this mix of new songs works with the repertoire of a lifetime,” he noted.
The next single from the album, “Ay, ay, ay,” will be released on Friday, June 16, and he admits it’s “the most Latin song on the album.” Melody starts with the sound of flamenco guitar and hopes his fans will “dance the bachata”. “It’s a very sensitive song and it’s a nod to the Latin American continent, to which I owe a lot,” he added.
During the tour, Bisbal will make stops in more than 20 Spanish locations, such as Bilbao, Merida, A Coruña, Cordoba, Seville or Alicante, among others. Despite the large number of concerts, the artist maintains that touring in Spain is better than doing it in the United States because it can be better organized and his family is nearby.
“We live in a country where distances are great and minimal. When I’m touring in the US, I only have time to go to the airport, sleep, eat and sing. Here in Spain I can enjoy my family and my life, that’s what it’s all about living, not just working.”
“How are the machines?”
Recently, a phrase uttered by Bisbal upon exiting a concert in Madrid (“How are the instruments, first of all”) spread on social networks, starring in memes and jokes for several weeks. The singer admitted he was “surprised” by the turmoil it caused.
He admitted “I’ve done what I’ve done all my life. Salute to my people but before the picture, I wanted to know how they are. It was a phrase I’ve probably said my whole life, ever since I left school.”
In this sense, he recalls how he tried on all the jokes that arose around his famous How Are Machines, First of All. “I was on a flight in Las Vegas and when I woke up from the word ‘bum,’ something happened with a video and that was the phrase,” he joked.
David Bisbal noted that what came of it made him “laugh out loud” and praised People’s ingenuity. He commented, laughing: “I laughed above all at the memes, the dubbing and the phrase in different dialects of regions of Spain or dialects from another country. There are brilliant people and I hallucinated.”

Regarding the return of Operación Triunfo, Bisbal considers it good news and has given advice to future contestants that: “The most important thing is not the programme, the important thing is to persevere and work after”.
Finally, when asked if he thinks it’s easier to be a singer now than it was two decades ago, the man from Almeria thinks it’s more difficult to define himself. “Today there are many means of communication to identify yourself and this also makes it difficult to identify yourself. Previously it was difficult because of the lack of spaces and now because of the high demand for it,” he judged.
