00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Direct Food with Ryan Seacrest. Colombian superstar Jay Balvin has

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: been largely off the map, not releasing his song since

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: last summer and leaving his social media untouched since September,

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: and that also includes taking a break from recording music

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: and touring, and Jay explains to Billboard it simply felt

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: like the right time to put his attention on those

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: he loves, namely his son and his girlfriend, rather than

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: his career. Is saying really right now, I've been focused

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: on my family. I left social media to be connected

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: to my reality and to my family. That's taught me

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: a lot to live more in the present. Obviously I

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: missed my fans, but when the time is right, I'll

13
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: be back. I don't have a concept or an album

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: to make yet, but it's because I want to have

15
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: a clear concept. One of these days, the muse will

16
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: arrive and from there an album will be born, and

17
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: it may be this year, maybe next. Until then, Jay

18
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Balvin's last album, twenty twenty one Jose, is streaming. That's

19
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: direct from Hollywood
