Andorran Singer Carol Slams Housing Crisis in New Track 'Especuland'

Andorran singer-songwriter Carol has released a new track titled *Especuland*, delivering a sharp critique of the country's overheated housing market. Through irony and biting lyrics, the song highlights soaring property prices and their growing social toll on residents struggling to secure affordable homes.

The piece captures widespread frustration with lines such as "we used to have a home, now we have uncertainty" and "if you can't pay, don't worry—peace of mind is always just over the border." Carol targets the speculative forces driving the crisis, as well as what she sees as inadequate responses from public authorities and economic players. Phrases like "it's not theft, no, it's the market" and "they're robbing us—it's your fault if you can't pay" underscore her accusation that the system now prioritizes financial interests over people.

*Especuland* has quickly emerged as an anthem for those trapped in Andorra's housing squeeze, where access to decent accommodation has become increasingly out of reach for many. The singer portrays a market that leaves residents facing tough choices, including relocation beyond the principality's borders.
