Alejandro Sanz On How He Recovered His Love For Making Music
Alejandro Sanz on his new album '¿Y Ahora Qué?', his new label, new management and more in a Billboard Español cover story interview.
Back in 2005, Spanish star Alejandro Sanz — the heartthrob with raspy vocals, a poet’s way with words and a flamenco flair that defined his global pop sound — teamed with another superstar, Colombia’s Shakira, for “La Tortura,” a sexy flamenco/reggaetón vamp. His first album on Sony Music Latin, Y Ahora, is an EP that follows a turbulent period where he switched labels (leaving Universal after a decade in 2021), his former manager took him to court, and, most recently, he publicly dealt with depression and a romantic breakup. Aside from longtime friend Shakira, Sanz also collaborates with hot new hit-makers Grupo Frontera — in a salsa that steers the act far from its regional Mexican sound — and Manuel Turizo, who eschews his up-tempo rhythmic dance fare for a more melancholy ballad.
