Alex Ubago Essentials

Alex Ubago emerged at the dawn of the new millennium and at the forefront of a young generation of singer-songwriters who ensured that the future of Spanish pop-rock would be in safe hands. His gift for crafting soul-stirring anthems from small, tangible moments fuelled his hit debut LP ¿Qué Pides Tú?, a set of swooning guitar ballads and synth numbers that touched hearts on both sides of the Atlantic. It’s an intimate kind of magic that he has brought to several solo records since—as well as emotionally charged duets and Latin pop bops with the likes of Amaia Montero and Mike Bahía respectively.
