Alvaro Soler - Mar De Colores (Version Extendida) (2019)

Since the same also applies to music, the title of Alvaro Soler’s new album was virtually a sure-fire success. “Mar De Colores” (“sea of colours”) confirms his knack for songs, which the whole world has been dancing to since the #1 hits “El Mismo Sol” and “Sofia”. At the same time, it enables you to appreciate his entire brand of music: Spanish pop with folk, hip hop and world music elements and big orchestra sound. “Mar De Colores” shows all his various facets: intimate stories about a yearning for faraway places and being at home in Barcelona, Tokyo and Berlin – told with charm and humour by a versatile singer-songwriter. “My awards are under the bed.”

Even though Alvaro Soler has only released one album, his results are impressive: Hit singles like “Sofia” and “El Mismo Sol” attracted a total of more than 30 gold, platinum and diamond awards, three Latin American Music Award nominations and over one billion clicks as well as 1.7 million fans on his YouTube channel every day. In 2015, “Eterno Agosto” (“Eternal August”) entered the top 5 of the German album charts, and #1 in Italy, Poland and Switzerland and secured top positions throughout Europe. This was followed by shows with J-Lo and Phil Collins, TV appearances as a judge on Italian X Factor and “Yo Contigo, Tú Conmigo” (“I with you, you with me”), a song for the Minions blockbuster “Despicable Me 3”, which gathered one million Spotify streams and three million clicks in one week.
