GORDO Unveils Tracklist for Debut Album ‘DIAMANTE’
A couple of days ago, GORDO drew the ire of fans when he used an owl emoji to promote the official announcement of his upcoming album DIAMANTE; fans believed he was hinting at a new single with Drake that would be out on July 12. Fans can rejoice in relief as the official tracklist is here. Since adopting the Gordo alias, the “Taraka” producer has earned several significant accolades in a short period of time, including a Grammy nomination and topping Billboard‘s “Hot 100 Producers” chart.
“If you like Latin music and you like dance music, this album is for you. If you like rap, listen and know about pop culture, know about American urban culture and you’re open [to] House music, then this album [is] for you,” he said. “If you’re a woman, automatically you’re going to like [it] because it’s really sweet for the ears. So those are the three people that this album meant [for]. If you’re closed-minded, you’re not going to like it, but if you are open-minded, you’re going to like it.” – GORDO
Two years after Gordo and Drake’s collaborations became instant summertime staples in 2022, they’re ready to showcase more on the former’s debut album, Diamante. Gordo and Drake’s partnership has been instrumental in shaping the landscape where hip-hop meets house music. Their collaborative force was first showcased on Drake’s dance-influenced album Honestly, Nevermind, in which the DJ contributed production to six tracks. The synergy is set to continue on Diamante,which spans 16 tracks and includes high-profile features from T-Pain, Leon Bridges, Maluma, Fuerza Regida and Keinemusik’s Rampa and &ME, among others.
With his debut album just a few days away, DIAMANTE will not only cement GORDO’s place in music but also invite listeners to connect even more deeply with the man behind the decks. While the album features numerous star-studded collaborations, it provides fans with a rare opportunity to witness GORDO in his creative flow, resulting in a personalized journey through sound that can only be described as DIAMANTE.
