Doreen Montalvo Returns to the Metropolitan Room this Month
By: BWW News Desk
A romantic yet unexpected journey through the heart and soul of the artist's love of both classic rock songs and latin jazz ballads.
This album has been a labor of love. It's taken five years to complete. Doreen Montalvo wanted the personal solo album project to be a celebration of the songs that live in her heart and soul and have special meaning to her.
The concept of this album has always lived in Montalvo's heart but it wasn't until her husband Mike suggested that she sing one of his favorite songs in Spanish that the project actually began to take shape. In 2000 as she was performing on a cruise ship, she wrote lyrics to the song Angel of the Morning, and entitled it Angel de mi Alma...(angel of my soul). The lyrics just flowed and although it's not a literal translation, the essence of the song remains.
This song and all the others on this album are some of the songs that make up the fabric of her life; songs just loved over the years; But with a twist.
Because Montalvo fortunate to have had such a love of latin music from childhood and American pop classics she wanted to merge the two. So in this album Montalvo sings songs in English with a Latin flair or songs in Spanish with an American twist plus a few originals as well.
