SOLEÁ MORENTE feat. LA CASA AZUL “No Pensar En Ti” Single Digital

One of the surprises this year will be an out-of-this-world collaboration between Soleá Morente and Guille Milkyway (LA CASA AZUL), who have an interpretation of “No Pensar En Ti”. The song was written by Nacho Canut and Carlos Berlanga in the eighties for Raffaella herself.

The song is a tour de force that begins between pasodoble stylings and casiotones, and winds up with house-disco and vocoders, with Soleá in full-force diva-mode, and Guille playing up his horror-vacui with an absolutely fascinating collection of arrangements, sounds and effects. Pure fantasy. New proof of Soleá’s chameleon-like interpretative capacity and of Guille Milkyway’s infinite imagination as one of the most special and inimitable producers around in recent decades.

SOLEÁ MORENTE (feat. Estrella Morente) “El Pañuelo De Estrella” Single Digital and Video-Clip

We are continuing that marvelous journey to the childhood and family of Soleá Morente through her tremendous album, “Aurora Y Enrique”, which is now indelibly marked in the minds of thousands. And it’s time to look at that exquisite tribute to her sister Estrella with “El Pañuelo De Estrella”, a song that starts off with synthesizers and dreampop, and moves little by little into flamenco and fusion territory, developing into a delicate, fragile and emotional piece. This Digital Single once again stands out with an excellent audiovisual document, in this case directed by Juanma Carrillo (who has worked before with Soleá, as well as with LA BIEN QUERIDA, LA CASA AZUL, RUSH WEEK ...), and which opens with a marvelous shot in an old street, representing two generations of the Morente Carbonell family. The video makes us complicit in a contagious evocation of the past and present of Soleá and Estrella’s relationship (both of whom are of course in the video), in flamenco caves and theatres, in the cobblestone streets. And once again we get goosebumps, and have tears in our eyes, and catch the feeling of being privileged spectators of authentic emotions, unique memories, an unrepeatable moment in time. And we couldn’t be more grateful. Grateful to the Morente Carbonell family. Grateful to Soleá. Grateful for such generosity.

SOLEÁ MORENTE (feat. Isa Cea) “Domingos” Single y Video

With “Domingos”, an important stage of Soleá Morente’s career comes to a close – the stage of her album “Aurora Y Enrique”. It is a special and inimitable album with a unique trajectory and it is one-of-a-kind on the music scene. For the occasion, we are releasing a Digital Single that comes with a major gift. We opened this singular period with a precious music video by Juanma Carrillo, “Iba A Decírtelo”, followed by the gorgeous introspection that Jonás Trueba showed us with that special audiovisual work where we got to share that moment when Soleá first showed her mother the songs that were included on the album, and that third music video with her sister Estrella, also directed by Juanma Carrillo. And now the circle is closing with a music video directed by none other than Isaki Lacuesta.

Isaki Lacuesta is without a doubt one of the most important Spanish filmmakers right now. He has directed ten feature-length films, the most recent of which, “One Year, One Night” won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the Berlin Festival and will be released this coming fall in theaters in Spain. Based on the terrorist attack at the Bataclan in Paris, the movie is also the cinematic debut of C. TANGANA. Among other awards and recognitions, there are two noteworthy Golden Shells from San Sebastian, for “The Double” and “Between Two Waters” (a continuation of his legendary “La Leyenda Del Tiempo”). His style, personal and unmistakable, marks him as one of the most incomparable directors on the cinematic scene.

Filmed in Boiro (Galicia), the music video and the song also include the collaboration of Isa Cea (TRIÁNGULO DE AMOR BIZARRO). And from this special pair and the dense turbulence of the song, Isaki made gold. They are in wedding dresses, visiting spaces full of symbolism, with the presence of the remains of Iberian towns, statues, old civilizations, ecclesiastic remnants. All in shades of grey, with the appearance of surprising characters. It’s something to watch over and over, to look closely at each shot. Let yourself get carried away, but the video, the song, its protagonists.

Sunday then acquires a thousand different readings and interpretations, beyond what the song itself associates it with. And this too works to close the “Aurora Y Enrique” stage. With the conviction that Soleá is going to surprise us many more times; she’s going to excite us until we burst.

SOLEÁ MORENTE (feat. LA CASA AZUL) “Vamos A Olvidar” Single Digital 

It’s a dream come true. A song straight from the minds of Soleá Morente and Guille Milkyway working together. Two of our brightest stars. And it also means getting into unexplored territory for both of them. Because what if we told you that they dove head first into writing an absolutely irresistible cumbia? And that the song begins like a heartbreaking melodic Italian song with Spanish roots, like a duet between Raphael and Rocío Jurado at the height of the sixties? And that the chorus takes you to a rumba from LOS AMAYA? And, of course, that it has some flamenco in it too (Soleá’s touch). And sure, it has a certain electronic dance spirit (Guille’s touch). And that the arrangements are just prodigious. And that each second is more surprising and exciting.

Soleá and Guille meet. They look into each other’s eyes. Yes, they have both just been the victims of their separate heartbreaks, and they find in each other the echo of their need to sing their sorrows at the top of their lungs. LAS NEGRIS get the party started with their palmas (traditional flamenco clapping) to this great production and composition from Guille. And the sorrows are blown away; you forgive and forgive yourself. The feeling of excitement about things to come returns. It is a fascinating song that embraces you and makes you dance.

“Vamos A Olvidar” opens infinite paths, but above all the path of a collaboration that leads to a new album from Soleá Morente, that will be produced by Guille Milkyway and that will mark another change of direction, a new exercise in outstanding inspiration, the perfect exit for an album as unique as “Aurora Y Enrique”.

SOLEÁ MORENTE "Sembré Una Esperanza • Se Acabó" Single 

As we continue to get advances from Soleá Morente’s upcoming album, the one she’s working on together with Guille Milkyway, our prolific artist is filling this empty space for us with a very special single. Two songs, two versions, two challenges and a gorgeous photo by Neelam Khan Vela.

The first song, “Sembré Una Esperanza”, is taken from “Sacromonte” (which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, in November 2022), one of Soleá’s favorite albums by her father, Enrique Morente. The Granada-born singer already includes this song in her live shows with power and energy, and here she gives us an exquisite elegance, with a magnificent instrumentation with Arabic echoes, and marvelous arrangements and an exotic tone – a mix of flamenco, rock, and Arabian sounds. It’s an amazing surprise, produced by Alonso Díaz of NAPOLEÓN SOLO, with whom she already worked in 2018 on her album “Ole Lorelei” – a very important album in the history of pop in our country, which boasts the excellent production work of Alonso and includes “Baila Conmigo”, one of her most famous songs.

The second song, “Se Acabó” is originally by María Jiménez. It is a version recorded for a documentary about the Sevilla-native singer, produced by LA ESTRELLA DE DAVID and Sergio Pérez, where she brings an agile and sparkly rumba to the current sound, emptying the rhythms with drier bases, and showing us once again her ability to play with styles, sounds and decades.

Her giving us these two magnificent songs while we wait for her to show us, piece by piece, an album with such radically different parameters, just reminds us how great Soleá is. Chameleonic, she’s good at shedding her skin, changing the rules of the game, breaking through stereotypes and prejudices. And even better, she does it all with elegance, with style, with inspiration and emotion. Bravo.

SOLEÁ MORENTE “Gitana María" Single 

Last year we got “Vamos A Olvidar”, the first single from the album that Soleá Morente is preparing with Guille Milkyway from LA CASA AZUL.

 It’s another leap of faith, an epic track in dance and emotion, a lysergic trip to the summer of love and nights that never end, a perfect mix of the solid power of Guille and the intense experimentation of Soleá. This new advance confirms that what’s coming in the new album from Soleá is going to be huge, varied and surprising. Once again, it is a departure from her previous work, confirming her chameleonic status as an artist with great curiosity, always in motion.

SOLEÁ MORENTE " Mi Vida Es Para Mí" Single 

Another song has arrived from that already famous album that Soleá Morente is making with Guille Milkyway (LA CASA AZUL), and everything is pointing to another leap of faith, a new exploration in unknown territory, another sharp turn in a career called unexpected and improvised globetrotting. After “Vamos A Olvidar” and “Gitana María”, we now have “Mi Vida Es Para Mí”, a song that gives us a sneak peak into the more intimate part of this collaboration. It is also very special for both of them, since it was the first song that wrote together in Guille’s studio, a space where sparks fly every time they get together.
