NEW YORK (AP) -- Debi Nova has toured with Ricky Martin, collaborated with the Black Eyed Peas and has been nominated for 6 Grammys.
Yet whilst she is a star in her local Costa Rica, in the United States and elsewhere, Nova is probably unknown.
The singer-songwriter hopes to shift that with her manuscript debut, "Luna Nueva" (which equates to New Moon), out May eighteen on Decca Records. And she is removing a little big assistance with her project: Gustavo Santaolalla, the mythological Argentine musician who was introduced to English audiences with his Academy Award-winning measure for 2005"s "Brokeback Mountain," is the album"s producer.
"There have to be sure traits in an artist that will have me vehement to work with them. In the box of Debi, there are a lot of things that captivated me," he pronounced in a statement. "She"s a good musician to begin with. She writes good songs. She"s a good performer. Debi has that bent that she can write in piece Spanish and English and, as piece of the judgment of this album, both Spanish and English in the same song. All those things supplement up to have Debi a really sparkling artist."
"Luna Nueva" has 10 songs and includes the singular "Drummer Boy," a foul balance whose erotic video has been on revolution on assorted MTV channels and alternative outlets given last month.
"It"s an manuscript that doesn"t have borders in conditions of language, it"s really free-spirited," Nova pronounced in a new talk in New York.
"There are songs that have a Spanish chorus, a hymn in English and 3 difference in Spanish. (It"s) how we communicate, you know, one judgment in English y otra en espanol," the 24-year-old explained in a brew of Spanish and English. "That"s how the manuscript is."
Nova, who began personification piano when she was 4 years old, was ostensible to recover her initial manuscript with Warner Brothers, but after 3 years with the tag usually one singular came out, the strike "One Rhythm," in 2004.
When she changed to Decca, she wrote or co-wrote utterly new songs, desirous by the hold up that she lives in between San Jose in Costa Rica and her adopted city of Los Angeles, where she has lived for 7 years. The manuscript draws on the sounds of Latin America and the universe that she listened to as a child.
"It has a Latin flavor, either it"s the lyrics or the music," she said. "And given I"m from Costa Rica ... (my country) is a sponge, we"re in the center of the continent and we take from each side."
Nova, who available the songs "Que mas da" and "Drop It On Me" with Ricky Martin and appeared in those videos with the Puerto Rican superstar, pronounced that one of the sweetest respect she perceived not long ago is that the thespian right away refers to her as family.
But the majority critical gift, Nova said, has been being means to work with the dual producers she longed for from the start: Santaolalla, leader of mixed Grammys and dual Oscars, and the United Kingdom"s Marius de Vries, well known for his work with Madonna, Bjork, Massive Attack and Josh Groban.
De Vries pronounced of Nova: "There"s an comprehension and a musicality in all she does. I think we"ll be saying her around as a force to be reckoned with for most years to come."
