Here comes our song of the week! María Villalón was born in 1989, and rose to fame as the first winner of the Spanish version of The X Factor, back in 2007. But in between her music projects she has always had other things in mind: she has collaborated with several radio shows and also became an actress for two short films. Nowadays she is releasing a new studio album and, together with it, her first novel, both called "El insólito viaje de una gota de lluvia". The first single to emerge from her album is "Descalza", an explosive pop-rock track that you cannot miss!
