The album is a bit abstract, but it's also about the way we communicate with the body. And it's a lot about desire as well and pursuing desire and the effects of pursuing desire and societal norms around pursuing desire. So I think when I'm saying I have the devil in my body, what I'm saying is I want to communicate my desire through my body. And I don't care if that goes against certain social grain or whatever.
El diablo en el cuerpo is a 2023 studio album by Chilean pop musician Álex Anwandter. The album has received positive reviews from critics.
