Rels B, one of the most sought-after artists on the urban scene in Spain and Latin America, yesterday released his new LP, La Isla, a title that he unveiled two days ago after releasing a short documentary online where he discovers the main details of his new work. “It has a cumbia, a couple of dembows and a lot of Afro”, explains the Mallorcan artist in the audiovisual, where he appears at his home in Mallorca working with his friends on some of the songs and also making some confessions to the public. “Being famous does not suit me, in my day to day I would rather live as I lived before”, says the musician, who signed for Sony Music and whose contract is supposedly about to expire, as revealed in a recent interview with the Efe agency.
Daniel Heredia Vidal (Palma, 1993) – his real name – confesses that in the pandemic he has had too much “down time” to think. “It has helped me to realize that many things I was not doing as usual”, He says. “Right now the most important things to me are things that money cannot pay: the loyalty of a friend, the love of a mother, your wife or your brothers. They have not been the best months of my life. But music cures me all ills.
Locked up (hence the title La Isla), he listened to African music. “I wanted to make a new sound.” In the video, from the Madrid studio where he recorded this LP of ten songs, he says that “it is the most musical album” of his entire career, in which he has risked the most, “with more adult themes”. And he ends with new confessions: “The best thing in life is making music with friends, there are no global collaborations here, that’s what I want in this project.” In this album, only people close to bottle, as Kaydy Cain.
