Pop star Selena Gomez made an announcement of sorts recently that might have her fans waiting a bit longer for her next musical release. Though she holds the top spot in the entertainment world both in singing and acting, she confirmed that currently, her schedule does not provide space for recording new songs soon. On the other hand, Gomez granted fans an exclusive peek into recent musical contributions to the soon-to-be-out film Emilia Pérez, really showing now a unique approach to vocals.
There’s really a huge contrast between Emilia Pérez in this film and her other portrayals. To have an emerging new dynamic direction both in the performance and in the voice, Gomez mentioned in an interview, “I get to be so raw and real with my vocals on that soundtrack.”. “I wanted to do an honest, raw performance,” Gomez said, “and this movie’s music has given me an opportunity to explore a new sound and expression.” This recent statement by Gomez has sparked the curiosity of her fans to listen to her in a new, raw musical form.
This film, according to reports, is directed by distinguished filmmaker Jacques Audiard and tells a gritty story, forcing Gomez out of her comfort zone. The movie reportedly revolves around a blend of comedy, love, and suspense—a perfect setting for Gomez’s versatile artistry. By lending her voice to the soundtrack, Gomez contributed an emotionally authentic layer that resonates with the raw storytelling of the film.
While fans had been hoping for fresh music from the star after her last album, Rare, according to Gomez, she has focused more on other forms of creativity at the moment. This includes the launching of a well-performing makeup line, Rare Beauty, as well as producing projects for the hit show Only Murders in the Building. Although her music career remains on hold, she has been assuring fans that she’s still practicing and is engaged in sharpening her skills, while indicating that music is indeed still close to her heart. “It’s not a goodbye,” she clarified. “Music is my first love, and I’ll be back when the time feels right.“
Also knowing she is well beyond herself with art, Gomez dives all-in into authentic, emotionally charged performances on and off the screen. Her journey into film-music is a breath of fresh air to fans wanting to see Gomez’s artistry in new and surprising ways. And while they wait for her next album, Emilia Pérez has vowed that, trust her, her audience hasn’t heard what Selena Gomez can do yet.
