The duo pairs for the first time
Super-music producer Tainy marks his first collaboration with Grammy-winning recording artist Karol G in “Única,” the second single from his highly anticipated sophomore album via Republic Records. The track captures the story of two people who can’t be together, yet choose to give themselves the gift of one night that becomes eternal through sound and memory. Through its layered production and delicate balance between strength and vulnerability, “Única” turns a temporary connection into something timeless, capturing the beauty of what’s fleeting and the power of what remains.
“Being part of this song with Tainy is an immense honor. I’ve always admired the way he has paved new paths in the genre and how he continues to evolve and take risks without fear. This song gave me the chance to know him on a more personal level, to understand how he thinks and to share my own perspective with him as well. There’s a musical chemistry between us that I didn’t know existed and discovering it was truly special,” Karol G shares.
The song first took shape in Los Angeles, where Tainy started building the instrumental, and from the first notes, there was an instinctive feeling that Karol G would be the perfect artist to bring its emotion to life. “Única” is anchored by the sound of the harp, an instrument that has long fascinated Tainy and that here becomes a central character within the composition. Its delicate yet powerful presence shapes a soundscape that feels both magical and melancholic. The track moves through layers of emotion, nostalgia, and fantasy, revealing the dramatic and sentimental side of the album.
Every element of “Única” feels like an invitation to step into another world. The music production evokes the imagery of mountains, forests, castles, and theaters, blending nature and fantasy into one atmosphere. That same vision extends into the music video, directed by Stillz and filmed between the mountains of Malibu in California. The visuals unfold like a series of paintings in motion, where fantasy and reality coexist, mirroring the emotional depth of the song. Among its visual details, the reappearance of the empty frame without a painting becomes a symbolic link to Tainy’s artistic vision that connects each chapter of this new era.
As his sophomore album continues to unfold, “Única” emerges as one of its most defining moments. Beyond the song itself, it captures the essence of Tainy’s artistry, his ability to build worlds from music and an unrelenting drive to push the boundaries of production beyond what’s known.
