Marc Anthony’s New Album, Iconos
Tomorrow, May 25th, the brand new album from Marc Anthony, Iconos, will be available in stores everywhere! His first studio album in four years is an all Spanish collection of ballads with two new original songs written by Marc himself.
Iconos is a project that Marc holds close to his heart, a tribute to the greatest Latin American songwriters of our time, “Most of the songs included on the album I listened to over and over as a kid at home while I was growing up. My father used to put them on all the time… They just don’t write songs like this anymore, I wanted to celebrate artists that had the guts at the time to be so daring.”
One of the two new songs on the album, “A quien quiero mentirle,” is something that Anthony has been holding onto for a while, “I wrote the lyrics and worked on the melody of this song when I was 15 years old and it has always stuck with me.”
Also this year, Marc was honored with the Billboard Spirit of Hope Award and Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2010 Billboard Latin Music Awards. Hopefully with the new album, a new tour will surface too! Marc Anthony tickets can’t be far behind.
