Aitana & Morat Team Up for Alt-Pop Single “Más De Lo Que Aposté”

Aitana is upping the ante with a hot new collaboration…

The 21-year-old Spanish singer-songwriter has joined voices with the Colombian band Morat once again, this time for the catchy new single “Más De Lo Que Aposté.”

Even though the track centers on an on-again, off-again couple, it features a feel-good melody that laces Aitana’s dulcet pop sound with Morat’s infectious alternative rock.

“Sometimes we are, sometimes we’re not / One day it’s hate, another day it’s love / I don’t know the reason / But I always end up with you,” Aitana and Morat chant in the chorus.

An innovative and vibrant music video shows both Aitana and Morat jamming to the song in the middle of the woods. 

Aitana and Morat previously released the single “Presiento.”

We are excited about Phoenix, New York and Los Angeles. We have families in different cities, as well as many people who have been asking us for this.

Which items are in your must-have list for the tour?
The instruments, the Nintendo Switch, elastic bands for exercises and a good book.

What can fans expect from the Balas Perdidas Tour?
This concert will carry all kinds of songs from our Balas Perdidas album, but at the same time it will bring our best hits from our first album [Sobre El Amor y Sus Efectos Secundarios], which will add a different flavor to Latin music.
