---|---|
A las cinco en el Astoria is the fifth La Oreja de Van Gogh album, and the first album with new lead vocalist Leire Martínez. It is released in three editions: CD, CD+T-Shirt, and Digipack. According to "Promusicae" A las cinco en el Astoria was the 12th biggest selling album of 2008 in Spain.
Reception
A las cinco en el Astoria is preceded mainly by the great excitement that has led to the separation of Amaia Montero of the group. Leire Martínez is responsible for the challenge of replacing Amaia as the voice of La Oreja de Van Gogh. Its incorporation has been an intense work for the group. The first song that left the local test was “El Último Vals", a love story inspired by the film of Martin Scorsese; that song was chosen as the first single. That single was produced by Nigel Walker and La Oreja De Van Gogh. All songs are composed by the current members of the band. [1] The album received a 2009 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Pop Album by a Duo/Group With Vocals.
