Day 26: Maluma, ADMV | 30-Day Song Challenge 🎶

For Day 26 of the 30-Day Song Challenge, the smoking hot Maluma captivates us even more with his gorgeous vocals on “ADMV.”

Embracing the trendiness of social media, The Musical Hype unleashes its own, month-long version of the 30-Day Song Challenge.

Day 26 Prompt: A song that makes you want to fall in love

For Day 26 of the 30-Day Song Challenge, I honestly could’ve gone any number of directions.  The prompt? Choose a song that makes you want to fall in love.  Well, how about “ADMV” (“Amor de Mi Vida”) by the smoking hot Maluma.  What’s the hottest thing about this Colombian superstar? His gorgeous VOICE of course – what did you think I was going to say?

You don’t have to be adept in Spanish to appreciate what your ears are being treated to on “ADMV.” Maluma sings angelically showing off an awesome vocal tone that many male singers worldwide would die to possess. His tone perfectly complements the theme of the song, which is love, specifically “Love of my Life.”

“When our memory fails, and only photographs remain
I forget everything, except that you are mine…”

Spanish to English translations are approximate at best, which is the case with the aforementioned pre-chorus.  That said, the sentiment is clear.  The following chorus, in particular is quite thoughtful, imperfect translations aside:

“When the years weigh on us and the legs no longer walk
Our eyes close and the skin no longer stretches
When the only thing that matters is what we did in life
… You are the love of my life.”

Maluma – “What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man” – ha-ha! On “ADMV,” he’s quite a man because of such thoughtful, loving lyrics. He’s backed by guitar accompaniment and that’s sufficient.  This is a simple, yet gorgeous ballad; well-written, well-produced (Édgar Barrera “Edge”), and well-performed. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!  “ADMV” previously appeared on the playlist, 15 ‘A’ Songs Selected with No Rhyme or Reason.
