Jay Wheeler’s new album, Girasoles, released on 21 March, has surpassed 90 million streams in just ten days, consolidating itself as a global phenomenon. Beyond the figures, this project marks a before and after in his career, showing his most intimate and emotional side in a musical journey that speaks of growth, maturity and love.
The reception in Spain has not been long in coming. Girasoles has debuted at number 18 on the EPDM Album Chart, and the track Nota, together with Omar Courtz, is already in the Top 50 on Spotify Spain. The song has also reached number 21 on Shazam and has been trending on TikTok, with more than 12,000 content creations. Madrid and Barcelona are among its top five cities with the most listeners.
Jay Wheeler has divided the 15 songs on the album into three phases: seed, growth and blossoming. Through these tracks, the artist explores the emotional ups and downs of life, making it clear that Sunflowers is much more than an album. According to Wheeler himself, it is a statement of intent about how, despite challenges, people can transform and flourish if they keep working on themselves and surround themselves with love. This work is also a tribute to three key figures in his life: his mother, his daughter and his wife, Zhamira.
The data accompanying this release is overwhelming. On Spotify, the album has accumulated 29.4 million streams. On YouTube, the video clips have over 50.9 million views, while Apple Music has registered 7.1 million plays. In addition, Girasoles has been included in some of the most influential playlists on the Latin scene.
Beyond his music, Wheeler maintains a strong social commitment. He is an ambassador for the Easter Seals organisation, which supports children with autism, and has created an educational scholarship in collaboration with the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy for talented young people who do not have the resources to pursue their dreams. This commitment to the community has earned him respect not only as an artist, but also as a human being.
Jay Wheeler is reborn among the Sunflowers and does so with an authenticity that is resonating strongly in Spain, Latin America and the rest of the world. His artistic and personal evolution, together with his ability to connect emotionally with the public, position him as one of the great figures of contemporary Latin music. The world is watching him flourish, and this is just the beginning.
