Natalie Cole to Release First Spanish Album, 6/25
by Tyler Peterson
- May 9, 2013
Multiple GRAMMY Award-winner Natalie Cole's first Spanish-language album, 'Natalie Cole en Espanol' will be released June 25 on Verve/Universal. The album finds Natalie personally inspired by both the bilingual recording legacy of her father Nat King Cole, and a growing passion for the timeless romanticism of the great Latin music composers. Produced by Rudy Perez ('Latin Music Producer Of The Decade' - Billboard), 'Natalie Cole en Espanol'will reintroduce a new generation of fans to many of Latin Music's most romantic standards - with both new interpretations of Spanish-language classics previously recorded by Nat King Cole, and Natalie's own personal selections of songs that have touched her heart and make this album truly her own. This wonderful balance of both old and new classics is perfectly illustrated by the special vocal collaborations that highlight the album, with Natalie joining Juan Luis Guerra on the Dominican Maestro's own 'Bachata Rosa,' while looking further back with Andrea Bocelli on the eternal 'Besame Mucho.' But without question, the most emotional pairing of the album finds Natalie joining her father in a heartfelt duet of 'Acercate Mas' (Come Closer to Me) - utilizing the same technique as their Grammy winning, globally multi-platinum recording of 'Unforgettable.'
