The Big Win

Love in Spanish Vol. 2" is the much-anticipated sequel from Latino artist Alexsoy. Known for blending R&B, soul, hip hop, and Latino sounds, Alexsoy, with producer John Fontenot, started this journey right after dropping "Love in Spanish 1." Working through online studio sessions, they crafted a sound that’s hard to pin down to a single genre. The album took about two years to complete, with performances like the Nosotros Music Awards boosting their confidence along the way. Winning Best Song of the Year halfway through the process added an extra spark to their creative fire.

Alexsoy isn’t just the voice; he’s also the audio engineer, producer and songwriter. With John Fontenot's production skills & 30 years of experience as a professional drummer, the two were able to deliver a unique sound crafted for listeners worldwide. They used Logic Pro and Apple to streamline their workflow, utilizing Alexsoy’s custom vocal recording and mixing templates. The result is a blend of live instrumentation and digital sounds that create a fresh, globally appealing vibe. Shoutouts go to Santana W.Y.A., Prd.Kao , Karlaaa, Prod.byLalo, and 6vlex for their invaluable contributions.

The Process

One standout track is "Momento Perfecto," which translates to "Perfect Moment." John, still living in Houston at the time, sent Alexsoy beats daily. One of these beats stood out. John hyped it up from the start, and Alexsoy knew immediately that it was special. After working on it for a few days, they shelved it for months. Rediscovering it later, the song resonated deeply with Alexsoy, inspired by a life-changing moment he experienced. This track captures the essence of that perfect moment, making it universally relatable.

Another highlight is the song "We," which has been in the vault for about four years. Created around the same time as Alexsoy’s hit "GIRLA", Which has accumulated over half-million streams worldwide. "We" was a collaboration by Karlaaa, 6vlex, JussRicky, Frankie A.R., and SantanaWYA, & Alexsoy. With additional production from Apex, who added a few drums, "We" promises to be an amazing track that fans will love.
