As fans eagerly await the album’s release on March 21, it is clear that this project will be a special, thoughtfully crafted endeavor that continues the legacy of Gomez’s ever-evolving career. Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco first appeared as a creative couple in 2015. This was the time when Blanco also played the part of a responsible co-producer of two of her leading tracks on Revival, her second studio album.
More specifically, he co-created “Kill Em With Kindness” and “Same Old Love,” two releases that later gave them strong singles in the music industry. This first joint musical effort not only exhibited their natural invention but also was the prelude to future musical affairs together.
Fast forward a couple of years, we saw the duo come together again, in 2019, for another amazing project. They made “I Can’t Get Enough,” thus creating a bond with the influential artists Tainy and J Balvin, the project they collaborated on this time. Their getting back together with that song further put a concrete sign of their connection, giving evidence to their mixed qualities that brought amazing and energetic music. In turn, the artists and reviewers began to witness the dynamic duo that was continuously growing, gaining success with every new product they released.
Sparks of Rumor
Following a four-year hiatus in high-profile collaborations, a new chapter started to unfold when Gomez dropped her single “Single Soon.” Blanco was the co-producer on this project, and his participation stimulated further interest. The hilarious and amusing selfie-queen Gomez, was quick to jump on the relationship rumors when she joined in on Instagram with several fan discussions that speculated about her and Blanco. Apart from that, she also posted some cryptic stories which gave rise to the idea of a possible relationship with someone new, and in no time, this led to a big discussion among her followers and fans across social media. Thus, as the gossips grew greater, they both decided to validate their relationship on Instagram in December 2023.
This public recognition makes it official what many had long been prattling. After a while in December, they made their move even more public by letting their friends know when they got engaged.
This not only confirmed the speculations but was also a new happy chapter in the lives of both of them and their creative cooperation. Benny Blanco is a great personality in the music world and the collaborations with Gomez are just one part of that. Benny Blanco, the great producer-musician whose name is among the 11 GRAMMY nominations, has managed to establish a good name for himself. By his production credits, he has given his input to the greatest hits of such music luminaries as Britney Spears, Rihanna, The Weeknd, and SZA. Those are the achievements that make Benny Blanco a top-notch musician and at the same time prove that he has greatly contributed to the point where modern music is today.
Launching a Solo Career
Besides his group projects, Blanco also tried a solo career which turned out very successful. In 2018, he took a bold step in launching his maiden single, “Eastside” which got the support of Halsey and Khalid as featuring artists. This release marked a significant shift in his music career when his fans were first introduced to him as a stage performer. “Eastside” became the main reason for which he earned his title of a versatile musician capable of producing enormous success both as a solo artist and a music producer.
This time there was a greater thrill with the announcement of the collaborative album I Said I Love You First. This is the first album Selena Gomez and Blanco will show what they can do combining their abilities and creating an entire group effort.
