Clara Gorrias & Álex Dee – Sweet, Sweet, Sweet

  • Album
  • [2023]

Clara and Álex have been great friends since they met studying music at ESMUC (Barcelona). They have worked together in many projects, played together quite a few times. They know, support and respect each other a lot, and one day they decided -in quite a jokish style– to record 3 of their favourite songs that started with the word sweet together. It ended up being a beautiful album of 9 songs, in collaboration with many, many friends of theirs, that I had the pleasure to be trusted to integrate. The production of the album was lead by them, and each and every song of the album presents a different universe, which I consider a gift to the audience –and to me, of course–. I feel very grateful for this opportunity, that brought me to meet, work and learn from amazing musicians, starting by Álex and Clara, who I consider to be amazing singers. It's been a huge learning process, to engineer and mix such a beatufiul and delicate album. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
