Lares also had high praise for Lia G and the collaboration. “This is going to be amazing. I enjoy collaborating but this one is special for so many reasons,” she said. “Singing with her, oh my gosh, I think this is another side of you (Lia G) that fans are going to be able to hear and I can say I love the way our voices really complement each other. You want a contrast when you’re doing collaborations, we have it but it blends well so it’s some kind of weird magic that’s happening but it’s all the glory to God, because for so many reasons he made this collaboration happen.”
Guerrero added, “I’m super excited…my gosh I had goose bumps listening to Lia and Shelly.”
