Country music has always been Jamal's defining characteristic; it's part of his very identity, and that's something no one can change. He has skillfully built his career on this music. He started out as just another artist in the genre, offering nothing new and standing out from the competition, which was considerable at the beginning. But then, little by little, he managed to differentiate himself because he sang in a very different way. He knew how to make people enjoy his music. Others focused country music on rural people or ordinary people. Jamal, in contrast, focused his music on a global audience, so that even someone working in an office could connect with his music, even though its foundations lay in the countryside and farm life. This led many people around the world to love him and buy all his albums and songs. That's how he became who he is today: a very successful musician who is clearly the king of country music. Even now, at what could be considered the pinnacle of his career, he doesn't stop. Every day he continues to innovate his music to stay relevant and connect with all generations. This way, he doesn't get forgotten like so many others have. This strategy has always worked wonders for him.

El country ha sido desde siempre lo que ha identificado a Jamal, es parte de su propia identidad y eso no hay quien lo cambie. El ha sabido construir muy bien su trayectoria sobre esa música. Empezó como alguien cualquiera, uno más de esa música sin aportar nada fresco sin destacar por encima de la competencia que era bastante en su inicio. Pero luego poco a poco supo diferenciarse porque solía cantar muy distinto. Sabía como hacer que la gante gozara con su música. Los demás enfocaban el country para la gente de campo o para la gente común. Jamal en diferencia enfocaba su música en un púbico global, de tal forma que hasta el que trabajaba en una oficina pudiera conectar con su música aunque las bases de la misma estuviera en el mismo campo y la vida de granja. Eso hizo que muchas personas alrededor de todo el mundo lo amaran y compraran todos sus discos y canciones. De esa forma fue como llegó a ser quien es hoy, un músico muy exitoso que es claramente el rey del country. Incluso ahora estando en lo que se podría decir es lo más alto es no se detiene, cada día continua innovando su música para poder mantenerse actual y conectar con todo tipo de generaciones. Así no se queda olvidado como les ha pasado a mucho otros. Esta técnica le ha funcionado de maravilla siempre.

Well, as he's always done, he's been thinking for some time that it's time to change his playing and singing style. He's noticed that people are increasingly drawn to rock and that pure country is falling behind and losing market share. So, that's a reason to try to innovate again. But unlike the changes he's made in the past to keep up with what people like, this change is more radical, as it involves a change of identity. He's going to go from being the king of pure country to a more modern, rock-infused artist. For a while, this has only been a thought, as he hasn't yet dared to make this change. In fact, this has been one of the few times he's felt afraid of change, which is unusual for him because he's used to constant change. He hasn't even told his manager, who has always supported him in everything, about this idea. But it turns out that his manager himself was the one who told him it was time for a change. It was a big surprise for Jamal because he was afraid to tell the manager about the change, and then the manager approached him first. They both laughed together for a while, although the manager didn't even know why they were laughing. Then Jamal told him it was because he had been thinking about telling him, but he hadn't dared yet.

Pues bien como siempre ha hecho está pensando desde hace un tiempo que es momento de hacer un cambio en su forma de tocar y cantar. El está notando que la gente cada vez les gusta más el rock y que el country más puro se está quedando rezagado y está perdiendo mercado. Entonces eso es motivo para tratar de innovar de nuevo. Pero a diferencia de los cambios que ha hecho en el pasado para mantenerse al día con lo que le gusta a la gente este cambio es más radical, pues implica un cambio de identidad, va a pasar del rey del country puro a uno más moderno y rockero mezclado. Por un tiempo esto solo ha sido un pensamiento pues no ha querido atravere aún a hacer este cambio. De hecho esta ha sido una de las pocas veces que ha sentido miedo de cambiar, algo raro en el porqué está acostumbrado al cambio contante. Aún no le a contado de esta idea ni a su manager que siempre lo ha apoyado en todo. Pero resulta que su manager mismo fue quien le comunicó que era momento de un cambio. Fue una gran sorpresa para Jamal porque él con miedo de contarle al manager del cambio y resulta que el primero se acerca a él. Se rieron los dos juntos un rato, aunque el manager no sabía ni por qué era que se estaban riendo. Entonces Jamal le dijo que era porque el estaba pensando en contarle solo que aún no se había atrevido.

Jamal then told his manager about his idea to move more towards rock. The manager thought it was an excellent idea; he had considered other things, but if that was what Jamal liked, he wouldn't stop him, even though he was the one guiding him musically. With that support, Jamal was even more determined to change his genre. But there was still an obstacle: the comments from the competition in the industry. Several country singers, when they found out he was going to make such a drastic change, told him he had betrayed the values of country music. They also said it wouldn't work; people only knew one kind of country, and those experimental things wouldn't work or connect with anyone. He could have listened to them, but in the end, he decided not to be swayed by those mostly negative comments, so he launched himself into country rock. When he released his first song, the results were somewhat poor, and those other singers immediately told him, "I told you so," that it wouldn't work. But his manager told him not to pay them any attention; it was normal. He reminded him of the times they had gone through the same thing years before. Later, he released a full country rock album, and everyone loved it, just like he had done many times before. Jamal proved everyone wrong and showed the value of innovation. Now he continues to be the king of country.

Jamal entonces le contó de su idea de moverse más hacia al rock. Al manager le pareció una excelente idea, el había pensando en otras cosas pero si eso era lo que le gustaba a el pues no se lo impediría aunque era el encargado de guiarlo en la música. Con ese apoyo ya Jamal estaba más decidido a cambiar su genero. Pero Aún quedaba un obstáculo y eran los comentarios de la competencia en la industria. Varios cantantes de country cuando se enteraron de que el iba a hacer ese cambio tan bruzo le decían que había traicionado a los valores del country. Además que eso no funcionaría, la gente solo conocía un country y esas cosas experimentales no funcionaban ni conectarían con nadie. El podía haberles hecho caso pero al final decidió no llevarse por esos comentarios que en su mayoría eran negativos, así que se lanzó al rock country. Cuando sacó la primera canción los resultados fueron un poco malos, y enseguida esos otros cantantes le decían “Te lo dije” eso no funcionaria. Pero su manager le dijo que no les hiciera caso, eso era normal. Le recordó las veces que habían vivido lo mismo hacia años atrás. Al tiempo después sacó todo un disco de country rock y todos lo amaron como muchas veces en el paso. Jamal le cerró la boca a todos y demostró que lo bueno que es seguir innovando. Ahora continúa siendo el rey del country.
