Info zu Pop Rock

Melendi kehrt mit „POP ROCK“ zurück, einem Werk, das ein echtes Statement ist: purer Pop-Rock und purer Melendi. Gitarren im Vordergrund, seine unverwechselbare Stimme und direkte, kompromisslose Texte prägen ein Album, das die authentischste und unbeschwerteste Essenz des Künstlers wieder aufleben lässt. Nach dem Erfolg von „20 años sin noticias“, der ihn an der Spitze der aktuellen Musikszene etabliert hat, vereint dieses neue Projekt die Energie, Reife und Verbundenheit mit dem Publikum, die diese jüngste Etappe geprägt haben.

Mit jenem authentischen und rebellischen Charakter, der ihn schon immer geprägt hat, und einer Sensibilität, die mehrere Generationen zu erobern wusste, präsentiert sich „POP ROCK“ als ein Album, das Spuren hinterlassen wird. Ein Repertoire an Songs, das sowohl diejenigen anspricht, die mit seiner Musik aufgewachsen sind, als auch neue Hörer, und damit seinen Status als einer der großen Namen unserer Musikszene bekräftigt. Ein Album, das verspricht, zu den Höhepunkten des Jahres zu gehören.
