Amuza (Esperanto for "fun") is the debut studio album by Spanish singer Miki Núñez. The album was released through Universal Music Spain on 13 September 2019. The 13-track album includes songs in Spanish and Catalan language. The album is produced by Roger Rodés and Oriol Padrós. The album has spawned two singles so far; "La Venda", released as a single on 7 March 2019 and served as the Spanish song for the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest[1] and "Celébrate", which was released on 28 June 2019. The album debuted atop the Spanish PROMUSICAE albums chart.[2]

Background

[edit]

Miki began composing the album in December 2018 short after leaving the Operación Triunfo musical academy.[3] After performing in Tel Aviv as part of the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest, Núñez stated that "this has only been the beginning. I am composing the album at the moment which I want to be the huge party like "La Venda" is. I am going to be loyal to my thoughts and principles. The festive genre is the one I feel the most comfortable with and I only want the people to go to my concerts to dance and have fun. I also want them to feel like my songs are theirs so we can dance and cry together."[4]

On 24 June 2019 Núñez announced the release date of the album's lead single.[5] "Celébrate" was released four days after the announcement was made.[6] In August 2019 the singer announced on the radio that over 40 songs had been sent to the record label to select from in order to make an LP. Núñez announced the release date of the album on 2 September 2019 through his social media profiles.[7]

The cover art depicts Núñez "connected to different elements of nature, such as branches or stones" by a red thread, a reference to the East Asian concept of the red thread of fate, and is intended to show "that he is attached to his roots". The album has been described as "very personal" and "full of positivism and happiness" by ¡Hola!, with Núñez previously stating that he wanted to make a "happy" record that could "drown [listeners'] sorrows".[8][9]
