This past Monday
we were invited to Romeo Santos Album Press Conference at the Legends Suite Club
in the Yankee Stadium (the name of the suite definitely fit the King of bachata,
if I say so myself). The press conference focused on the release of his sophomore
album, Formula Vol 2, which is in stores now! Before talking about his new
project, Felix Cabrera (Concert Promoter), Yankees’ officials and the King
himself made a HUGE announcement….
On July 12th, 2014 the Bronx native will be
performing at the Yankee Stadium, making him the 1st Latino to
perform at the new stadium! Officials expect a sold-out show (stadium holds over
50,000 seats) … No Pressure Romeo, right? … "I always walked
around visualizing going to a game with my dad … I never envisioned performing
at Yankee Stadium” said the bachatero. He explained how honored he felt but is also
aware of how enormous this responsibility is. Putting the pressure to the side,
he can’t wait to challenge himself and take it to the next level! Making this
one of the highlights and most important event in his entire career.

Now about his amazing Album…. The 17-track set "Formula, Vol. 2"
features collaborations with Nicki Minaj (who he considers the best female MC),
Marc Anthony, Tego Calderon and Carlos Santana, as well as an introduction by
comedian Kevin Hart. Santos' single “Odio," featuring Drake, is in its third
consecutive week in the
No. 1 spot on Hot Latin Songs. Fun fact: He created Odio with Drake in 7 hours
on December 23rd 2013 and Drake insisted to sing a verse in Spanish!
His “formula” is
to sing about relatable issues/relationships. He admits that he repeats certain topics in
his songs but he tries to keep a variety. In this Album he wrote about a topic
he never touched on before, a song about homosexuality, 'No Tiene La Culpa' is about a gay kid who
feels trapped in his body dedicating it to his fans who are gay.
After the press conference Romeo was also spotted at Stage 48 hosting his
Album Release party after signing hundreds of autographs at FYE in the bronx. Yup,
the King Stays King….
