Today, Dominican-American artist María Isabel shares the Spanish-language reimagining of the title track of her debut EP Stuck in the Sky, followed by the accompanying visual inspired by the Alfonso Cuarón-directed 2001 Mexican film classic Y Tu Mamá También.
The visual for “atrapada en el cielo” is directed by Dylan Knight and chronicles the breaking point of a relationship, pinpointing the moment of realization that a troubled relationship is best left behind.With the release of the new version of “Stuck in the Sky,” María closes this chapter centered on her debut EP and looks ahead to new music coming this year.
María says of her decision to translate the song from Spanish to English:
“‘Stuck in the Sky’ was never meant to be about an ending, but so many listeners interpreted it that way that I began to see it for myself. ‘atrapada en el cielo’ is me realising that this long-distance had reached its end and there was nowhere for us to go but in opposite directions. It sounds sad, but I felt really empowered by translating the lyrics to mean something entirely new. ‘Stuck in the Sky’ was me waiting around for the day we could be successfully be together for more than a few days at a time, and ‘atrapada en el cielo’ is me realising that I owed the time and energy I was giving the relationship to myself instead.
Released in October of 2020, Stuck in the Sky is a heartfelt and inventive collection of soul-baring R&B that began as a collection of poems written about her long-distance relationship that “showcases vulnerability as a strength” according to DJ Booth. The new EP contains previously-released singles, “Distance,” a delicate and vulnerable track that came with a Maria Alvarez-directed visual that premiered on NYLON, and her single with Yeek “Where Does The Love Go?“
