NATHY PELUSO

“Esta ambición me está matando” (“This ambition is killing me”) are the first words Nathy Peluso belts out in ‘Corleone, the bold opening track of her new powerful album, GRASA, which will finally bring her to our festival. This phrase sets the tone for this sophomore effort, which reveals a more mature and emboldened Nathy who asserts her unique capabilities as a songwriter and performer, seamlessly navigating rap, ballads, and tropical genres.

Her critically acclaimed 2020 debut album Calambre catapulted the Argentine-born, Spain-based artist to fame and success, winning Best Alternative Album at the 2021 Latin GRAMMYs, scoring hits with Bizarrap, C Tangana and Tiago PZK, playing Coachella, touring all over Spain… But her signature zeal and grueling work ethic came at a personal cost. In between performing, brand deals and releasing new music, in 2022 and 2023 she quickly got to work in the writing and production of new material that would serve as a follow up album. But her self-imposed high standards, which coupled with the pressures of the industry, and a series of romantic heartbreaks, compromised her mental health and left her emotionally unfulfilled. Going to therapy and taking time off helped Nathy replenish herself as a person and as an artist, to learn once again how to enjoy the music creation process. For the first time, the strong and bold author of hits such as ‘Delito’ or ‘Business woman’ reveals a more intimate and personal side in her lyrics, unafraid to open up about the growing pains and creative crises that come with fame, success and the pressures of modern stardom.
