Álvaro Soler Releases 'El Camino,' A Personal Album Built From Family Audio And Global Sounds

He presents it as a ten‑year milestone shaped by new fatherhood.

Overview

  • The 14-track set arrived on October 10, 2025, ten years after his first solo hit and as his fourth studio album.
  • It opens with his late grandfather’s voice taken from an old cassette and closes with his newborn daughter’s heartbeat recorded in the hospital.
  • Soler collected field sounds for the project, including rhythms from an over 800-year-old Indonesian drum captured in a Barcelona museum.
  • Tracks address manufactured anxiety and digital overload, mirroring his use of meditation and household digital‑free zones.
  • Interviews outline April–May tour dates routing from Hamburg through the Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, Poland, Switzerland, Austria and Slovakia to Berlin.
