Rauw Alejandro opens the doors to another world with “Saturno”

Rauw Alejandro presents “Saturno”, his new album. And, according to the singer’s own definition, “the album that will change the urban world”.

“I wanted to take my fans on a journey through my mind, my emotions, the sounds that influenced me,” the Puerto Rican singer said. He added, “This album tells a story from beginning to end.”

Since the intro, otherworldly sounds fuse with homages to hip-hop pioneersin a throwback to block parties in the Bronx.

“For me, this album is a collection of the sounds that shaped me. From early hip-hop to freestyle and of course reggaeton, these are the elements that make me who I am,” Rauw added.

In addition to continually expanding the soundscapes that traditionally fall within the genre known as urban, Rauw has taken a more active role in producing this expertly curated offering. The artist served as co-producer on 18 of the album’s 18 tracks to ensure his vision is realized.

Same, the name of the album has a deep meaning for him.

When Rauw was young, his mother often told him that he was from another planet. “I believed my mother, because I knew I was destined for something extraordinary. That’s why I named the disc Saturno”, he explained.
