The Beto Cuevas Solo Album Thread

[kinglouiexviii]

It's official. Beto Cuevas (former lead singer of La Ley) is releasing his debut, solo album at the end of 2007. Not a whole lot of information is known yet, but I'll try to keep this thread updated. I did hear rumors that it was going to be more electronica/dance oriented, but that is mere speculation by fans.

Here's a link to the most recent note in which Beto denies a reunion with La Ley anytime soon b/c of his solo album.

Nah.

Beto has always had much better taste. I've been missing La Ley for a while now. I'm looking forward to his album. I just hope he doesn't face the same luck Gustavo Cerati had when he went solo...

Beto made an appearance Thursday night at Univision's PREMIOS JUVENTUD which makes me think his solo album may be right around the corner.

I was at Beto's solo concert last Friday in Dallas. He played a small, intimate club, but it was really cool to see him nonetheless. He said his long, awaited solo album was finally coming out in September. He is smart in doing these small shows leading up to the release so that fans actually know the songs by the time it comes out.

His new songs sound similar to what he sang with La Ley, though perhaps a little more dance/electronica. They sounded good live. "Hablame" is the one that stood out for me. It's a great ballad in the tradition of "mas alla" and "al final".

Of course he sang hits from La Ley like "cielo market", "aqui", and "mentira". But he was smart not to overdo it. Probably only about 5 La Ley songs in all which means he is not going to depend on his previous hits to make it big again.

I applaud him for that! He very well may have a career post-La Ley.

First single from his solo album is "vuelvo" (which if I'm not mistaken is also the name of the album). It's not innovative by any means, but it's a pretty solid track. I am going to preview the entire cd on iTunes and buy the tracks that I like the most. I don't think the album as a whole will be espectacular, but I like Beto and want to support this solo effort.
