Albany wanted to do something different. A year of investigating, listening to new music and experimenting with all kinds of sounds has given birth to this ‘XXX’<\/em>; a work in which we can hear a new Alba, with a sound that feels super free and fluid, and with lyrics that, honestly, are some of the best we’ve heard.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An album full of adrenaline and strength, which comes less than a year after Albany<\/strong>‘s last mixtape ‘Se Trata de M\u00ed’<\/strong><\/em>. A much more uptempo album, perfect for the club, with synthetic sounds, glitch, rage, trap, hyperpop… united in a cute world with thousands of references to Japanese culture. An album that will change everything.<\/p>\n

“Y ahora ya me da igual porque no est\u00e1n en mi piel,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Pero vuelo tan alto que ahora estoy a otro nivel,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Bae yo sigo aqu\u00ed aunque no puedas verme,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Se que no le importaba y que se fue con \u00e9l,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Estoy brillando tan alto que no puedo caer.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

‘XXX’<\/strong><\/em> opens with a trailer-like intro, where we can already start to see everything we’ll find in this work… It continues with the fun ‘Chobits’<\/strong><\/em>, with Rojuu<\/strong> and Clutchill<\/strong>, the perfect match of artists -that everyone was waiting for-. This infectious beat by Jambo<\/strong> and Dred Bey<\/strong>, who also sign the bases of ‘G’<\/strong> <\/em>and ‘Gyarados’<\/strong><\/em> with Sticky M.A<\/strong>.<\/a>, a collaboration that Albany was really looking forward to. The interlude is crazy, a mix of everything that the artist likes: Pokemon, anime, Yung Beef… A good mix of Spanish-style sensations.<\/p>\n

Throughout the album we can see two personalities: the intense and deep Albany<\/strong> and the playful and fun Albany<\/strong>. For example, in ‘Ice’<\/strong><\/em>, together with Bon Calso<\/a><\/strong>, a friend of Alba’s with whom they have already collaborated several times, we see the most powerful Albany, without fears, or in ‘S-Pain<\/strong><\/em>‘, with more raw truths -and sadness-, with which she has always conquered us.<\/p>\n

The icing on the cake is ‘Me da igual tu dinero’<\/strong><\/em>, a very personal ending, in which many will recognise the singer as always. It was the first song recorded on the album, and the most emotional. Perfect to end with.<\/p>\n

As for producers, we also find Harry Bass<\/strong> and Kashlo<\/strong>. Mixing and mastering the whole album was done by Dred Bey<\/strong>, and behind the spectacular album artwork, cover art and 3D visuals, we find Razorade<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Me estoy volviendo loca, esa mierda est\u00e1 en m\u00ed,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Y ya no puedo esconderlo, me est\u00e1s dejando crazy,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yo ya no conf\u00edo en nadie porque nadie puede confiar en m\u00ed,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yo estaba sola en la calle pero la calle me hizo una G.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
