Noche de Novela

Last updated

Every time he wants to collaborate, I'll always be there. I would literally do anything for him whenever he needs it. He knows this, and I told him: every time I can help him, I will.

— Sheeran about Londra, MTV Argentina [4]

In June 2022, Londra revealed in the music video for his single "Luces" that he had four collaborations in store. [5] In July, Paulo announced through his social media the release of a series of four songs, among which he unveiled "Noche de Novela", also revealing that it would be a collaboration with Sheeran and that its release date was scheduled on August 11, 2022. [6] [7] In the days leading up to the song's release, both artists began to share several teasers of what the music video would be like, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the recording. [8] [9]

Composition and lyrics

The song was co-written by Londra and Sheeran along with Federico Vindver, who also handled the production of the single. [10] "Noche de Novela" is three minutes and 11 seconds long and the lyrics are divided into spanish and english, incorporating rap as accompaniment. [10] The single was described as an R&B track with pop influences, supported by an up-tempo beat. [11] [12] The lyrical content includes themes such as friendship, getting rid of negative vibes, and living life to the fullest. [11]

Critical reception

The song received positive reviews from experts. Ana Escobar Rivas of the radio network Los 40 noted that "this Anglo-Spanish combo fits perfectly" and that "both voices blend really well". [13] Oh Magazine described the song as having "a pop rhythm in which both artists perform very well, breaking down the romance that characterizes them". [14] Lucía Castillo of Ok Diario mentioned that Londra and Sheeran do not disappoint with "Noche de novela", expressing that the single has "a very catchy rhythm and melody that makes you unable to stop listening to it". [15] In regards to the aesthetics of the music video, Alicia Fortanet from the Cadena 100 website described it as "spectacular". [16]

In a dual review for La Voz del Interior , Juan Manuel Pairone wrote that Londra in the chorus of the music track "once again finds that ability to captivate with his simplicity and naturalness as a performer", while Diego Tabachnik gave a more negative opinion, saying that "Noche de novela seems like one more in the bunch, lacking that spark of simple guys that characterized both artists". [17] However, María Solando of The Honey Pop pointed out that Londra and Sheeran effortlessly blend english and spanish, coming together to provide an incredible musical bridge. [18]

Commercial performance

In the first week, "Noche de Novela" entered at number 66 on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100, marking the highest debut of a song that week. [19] In its second week, the single managed to reach position number 40 and was named the Greatest Gainer of the week, climbing 26 positions compared to the previous week. [20] [21] In its third week, the song reached its peak, securing position 39 on the chart. [22]

Music video

The music video was directed by Greg Davenport and was filmed in London during a night session. [23] The video depicts Londra leaving a supermarket to meet Sheeran on the street, which is characterized by neon lights, where both artists celebrate with several friends while drinking beer bottles and some cocktails.
