Spanish singer-songwriter Bad Gyal presented her new album 'Más cara' in Miami, the second of her career. This project, which she defines as a 'gift' to her teenage self, has deep roots in Caribbean urban rhythms. 'Alba, from 12 to 16 years old, couldn't believe this,' said the artist, whose real name is Alba Farelo i Solé (1997). The album was recorded in Miami, Medellín, Puerto Rico, and Spain. Bad Gyal describes the project as her 'dream playlist' and a sonic map that connects the influences that marked her adolescence with her current evolution as a global artist. Throughout its 19 songs, the album fuses reggaeton, R&B, dancehall, merengue house, Jamaican shatta, guaracha, and Haitian kompa, creating an eminently danceable project that moves between nostalgia and the contemporary. The tracklist opens with 'Más cara', followed by songs like 'Un coro y ya :)', 'Te daré', 'Dame', and 'Noticia de ayer', the latter defined by the artist as 'the most fun to create.' On 'Choque', she teams up with reggaeton veteran Chencho Corleone, while 'Última noche' is a collaboration with Ozuna. Other guests on the project include 8Belial, De La Rose, Jadiel, Jenny 'La sexy voz', Maureen, and Víctor Mendivil. The executive production of the project was in the hands of Dominican Cromo X, who coordinated the work of a new generation of urban producers like Botlok, Jorge Milliano, Mazzarri, and Wicked Outside. The album also features contributions from influential figures in urban music such as Luny Tunes, Nely el Arma Secreta, Sky Rompiendo, and Ovy On The Drums. In addition to the album release, Bad Gyal premiered the official video for 'Un coro y ya :)', directed by photographer and filmmaker Daniel Sannwald. 'I do see the reactions on social media. I'm not going to say I don't,' she confessed from Miami. Much of that nervousness comes from the 'great effort and passion' that the production of 'Más cara' required. 'There were three songwriting camps with a lot of people I admire so much since I started consuming this music,' she explained. Although the composition was largely digital: 'it was done from the ground up.'
