Best known as the frontwoman for acclaimed Colombian band Aterciopelados, Andrea Echeverri has long captivated audiences with her potently melodic brand of feminism. In 2005, her Latin Grammy and 4 time MTV Latin America VMA nominated debut solo album "Andrea Echeverri" was released by Nacional Records, the new ADA /Warner Music Group-distributed label focused on promoting the best in Latin Alternative music. After the critical and commercial success of "Gozo Poderoso", which landed Aterciopelados on the Top 10 of the Billboard Top Latin Albums Sales chart as well as a coveted appearance on the 'Tonight Show with Jay Leno', Echeverri took time off for the birth of her first child Milagros, who has proven to be a new point of artistic inspiration. The result is the self-titled album "Andrea Echeverri", Andrea's first solo release. The disc was produced by Hector Buitrago from Aterciopelados and mixed by Thom Russo (Juanes, Kinky, Johnny Cash), and also features a remix from Richard Blair (Sidestepper). On "A Eme O", the album's upbeat first single, Echeverri sings "Since you were born, I've become a better lover. It's as if you've unplugged my tubes." On the chill-out lullaby track "Baby Blues", she observes the bond between mother and daughter as Milagros cries late at night. "Some songs are written for Milagros, but they sound like they're written for a lover," said Echeverri. Going ever further, she satirizes the highly sexualized lyrics of the Colombian genre called champeta, naming one of the album's tracks 'Lactochampeta.' "It's kind of a joke, because it has explicit lyrics about lactating," muses Echeverri. After a recent series of successful tour dates and a backing band featuring members of Aterciopelados, longtime fans of the group enjoyed new interpretations of Aterciopelados classics. Andrea Echeverri looks forward to writing songs and the recording of her new album with Aterciopelados for a Summer release on Nacional Records.
