Exclusive Interview: INNA Talks “Ruleta”, Spanish Music & Summer Holidays!
Only a few days ago my girl INNA released her latest single "Ruleta", and I became immediately obsessed with this summer bop, so when the opportunity came to do an interview with the Romanian pop princess, I was in awe.
We did the interview recently and I asked her all about her new single, what singing in Spanish meant for her, what her favorite Spanish-speaking singers were, and she commented on writing herself the songs for her next musical project, and where she loves to summer.
Do not pass on this exclusive interview and keep streaming "Ruleta" all this summer long. I know it's already my summer anthem. And just knowing that INNA will be soon releasing more new music, it makes me more excited for the second half of 2017.
