F1 News: Charles Leclerc’s Spotify HACKED

This week has been nothing short of excitement and adrenaline pumping in the veins of the Tifosi! Just when we thought Ferrari’s plans were made clear with the extension of Charles Leclerc’s contract for a multi-year deal, possibly the biggest career transition in the history of Formula 1 was announced when Lewis Hamilton finally confirmed the rumor of his switch to Ferrari. However, that’s not the only shocking surprise Ferrari fans got this week!

Only a few hours ago, Charles Leclerc’s Spotify hilariously released a soundtrack titled “Coffee Shop Love”. But when eager fans clicked on the song to hear what the Monegasque had released, turns out it wasn’t Leclerc singing at all! Putting an end to the confusion, Leclerc just took to Instagram to reveal that his Spotify has been hacked!

Hacker beats Charles Leclerc to Spotify Stardom

While Charles Leclerc created his Spotify account intending to put out his piano pieces and eventually one day, start singing and keep his fans updated. It looks like a troll has beaten him to it! Leclerc wrote on Instagram, “Oh well, I think my Spotify got hacked 😂 I haven’t started singing yet and the latest song released is not from me 🙃”

While many would believe Leclerc played the piano intro himself, once the vocals kicked in, fans couldn’t help but burst into laughter. The first verse began with, “I walked into the coffee shop. I saw you from afar. My heart skipped a beat, you were shining like a star.” However, the instrumentals in the song were quite questionable as it was fairly off-beat to the vocals that played.

Just when it was feeling like the song had lost its merit and the laughter at Leclerc’s expense was over, the chorus brought the song back to life. The verse began with, “Coffee Shop Love brewing in the air! Chemistry sparked you and me. It’s a dare.” And continued along the lines of a cheesy romance surrounding a coffee shop. We don’t know how big of a fan Alexandra Saint Mleux is of coffee shops, but Leclerc certainly couldn’t be the ghostwriter of this song!

While we sympathize with Charles Leclerc for losing his Spotify account to the clutches of a hacker-musician, the whole incident was for sure the icing on the cake for the Tifosi who have had a dream weekend of announcements so far. However, while fans are laughing at the hilarious Wong at Leclerc’s expense, The Monegasque isn’t all too pleased.

After all, what kind of name is “Coffee Shop Love?” Perhaps the hacker should follow Leclerc’s footsteps and take advice from an unlikely source on how the singer should’ve named his ‘masterpiece’.

How Charles Leclerc got the title idea for his instrumental tracks

Last year, Charles Leclerc finally greeted fans with a single on his Spotify account. It was a beautifully written piano instrumental that was titled “AUS23 1:1”. And soon, the piece was followed by the aptly named “MON23 1:3” and “MIA23 1:2”. While fans immediately made the connection between race weekends and the song titles, the story behind it was far more interesting.

Speaking to Monaco Hebdo during the Monaco GP weekend, Leclerc shared how the bright idea came to him. He stated, “I just didn’t know what to call my pieces of music. One day, I went to a restaurant with my engineers. I asked them if they had any idea what to call these titles.” Feeling that he wasn’t serious enough to give the song a “real” title since he wasn’t a professional, Leclerc took to conversation with his engineers.

He concluded, “I didn’t want to give a “real” song title, it sounded too professional, and I don’t consider myself an artist. I didn’t want to do this. They said to me: ‘You should name them after the last Grand Prix you did.’ So that’s what I did.” And just like that, Leclerc’s dilemma was solved by the most unlikely of sources when it comes to music. Speaking of which, maybe the hacker should ask the engineers about their opinion on “Coffee Shop Love” for accurate feedback!
