ĂLVARO DĂAZ SHARES EMOTIONAL BALLAD âYOKO,â NEW SINGLE FROM HIS UPCOMING ALBUM SAYONARA
Nominated for a Tu MĂșsica Urbano Award in the Category Top Rising Star Male
Los Angeles (May 4th, 2023) â The platinum-certified Puerto Rican artist Ălvaro DĂaz presents âYOKOâ, his new single and most recent preview of his second studio album Sayonara through Universal Music Latino and under the management of Top Floor Talent and NEON16. Produced by Manuel Lara, Milkman and Yoshi, âYOKOâ is a sensitive ballad that demonstrates his versatility as an artist as well as his more vulnerable side, making reference to the relationship between John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Diaz is a big fan of The Beatles and after watching the Get Back documentary, he was inspired to write a song about them.
The song is also partly inspired by the relationship of Ălvaroâs grandparents, who have been together all their lives. âTheir relationship has always caught my attention, it seemed like something very cool and easy,â explains Ălvaro. âI want it to be the kind of beautiful song that you dedicate to a person that you want to be eternal.âÂ
The video was directed by Juanchi GonzĂĄlez based on an original concept by Ălvaro, and was recorded between the United States and Puerto Rico. It portrays Ălvaro as a rock star as he tells the story of how he met his muse and love of his life. It shows us their life together in a collage of images that is interspersed between the past and the present, highlighting the unconditional love they have for each other no matter how much time passes. Ălvaro expressed that it is his favorite video that he has recorded to date.
Alvaro is also nominated for a Premios Tu MĂșsica Urbano in the category, âTop Rising Star Masculino.â The long-awaited delivery, will be broadcast live on Telemundo PR and also in more than 150 Spanish-speaking countries on Telemundo Internacional on Thursday, June 15, from âLa Casa del ReggaetĂłnâ, the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The complete list of nominations can be found at premiostumusicaurbano.com where fans can vote for their favorites.
2023 already looks incredibly promising for Ălvaro as he continues his upward trajectory as an artist and songwriter. His last single, â1000CANCIONESâ with Sen Senra, surpassed his two biggest singles to date, âProblemonâ and âBabysita,â debuting at #8 on the global YouTube chart and on the Top 200 on Spotify Global Chart in 11 countries. Plus it accumulated over 1.5 million streams on Spotify within 72 hours of release. He recently penned  Rauw Alejandroâs worldwide hit âPanties y Brasieresâ with reggaetĂłn icon Daddy Yankee and will soon make its debut at the Bottlerock festival in California from May 26-28.
