Pop rock is here. Today marks the release of the new album from one of the most iconic artists in our music over the past two decades. More than just a title, its name is a statement of intent: pure pop rock and pure Melendi. On June 15, it will be released on vinyl with a special prize, as the Asturian artist has decided to reward the wait with a signed edition for the first thousand units.
With guitars always at the forefront, his unmistakable voice, and direct, uncompromising lyrics, Melendi's new work recaptures his most genuine and carefree essence. Following the success of "20 años sin noticias," the album that solidified his position at the top of the current music scene, this new project embodies the energy, maturity, and connection with the audience that has marked this recent period.
With tracks like "No me des más la tabarra" or "Mentiras Arriesgadas," his latest single, Melendi showcases an authentic and rebellious pop rock, yet possesses a sensitivity that has captivated multiple generations. The album's highlight will be "Veneno y Arena," another song with one of his characteristic explosive choruses, backed by powerful drums and particularly effective horn arrangements.
Thus emerges an album poised to leave its mark, with a repertoire of songs that connects with those who have grown up with his music as well as new listeners, reaffirming his status as a prominent figure in our music. An album that promises to be among the year's highlights, in addition to being enjoyed live during the Pop Rock Tour starting this autumn.
More than nine million listeners on Spotify and over five million subscribers on YouTube confirm the success of the Melendi formula, recently complemented by a tour that crowned him as the Spanish artist who sold the most tickets last year. But none of this is new. Since his solo debut, the Asturian artist has continued an unyielding musical journey with 24 platinum records, more than 3.5 million copies sold, and a long series of number ones and awards—records he is determined to surpass with this Pop rock that is now here.
