El Madrileño is the third studio album by Spanish rapper and singer-sonwriter C. Tangana. Written by Tangana and co-produced with Alizzz, the album was released through Sony Music on February 26, 2021.

Tangana intended to explore a more organic and guitar oriented sound to his previous hip hop, trap and urban latin releases, focusing in a collaboration album as a tribute to his wide roots. Twelve out of fourteen tracks are in collaboration with other renowned latin/folk/rock/flamenco artists from many countries and ages. The result is a colored mosaic of Anton's teenager influences and the adoption of a new alter ego named after the album.

Promotion prior to its release encompassed the release of three singles: "Demasiadas Mujeres", "Tú Me Dejaste de Querer"—both accompanied by music videos produced by Little Spain—and "Comerte Entera". Also, an extended play titled Bien:( was released in April 2020, showing for the first time the new directions Tangana was taking. Its lead single "Nunca Estoy" is also included in El Madrileño.

Background[]

On April 24, 2020, C. Tangana released the song "Nunca Estoy", which was well received by critics and acclaimed for moving beyond the trap and hip hop sounds that he had become known for. The song reached the top spot on the PROMUSICAE chart, becoming Tangana's first number one hit in his career.^[1] It was followed by the release of his first extended play as a signed artist, Bien:(, the month after. In September, Tangana revealed to Forbes that his third studio album would be very different from his previous releases and that it would be called El Madrileño, in reference to his hometown Madrid and to the new alter ego he adopted during the making of this new project.^[2]

In late January 2021, the singer began to tease the release of the album through social media. On January 23, he revealed the cover art and, three days later, the tracklist and release date.^[3]

Recording[]

Shortly after announcing the album's release date, Tangana offered an interview with El País where he stated that "If it had not been for the pandemic, I would have started to record El Madrileño by the end of 2021. I had a recorded album of urbano music, a lot of rap, overcoming trap. When the pandemic began and I began to scratch, it seemed to me that I was not up to the times. This one is".^[4]

Promotion[]

On October 8, Tangana released the lead single of El Madrileño. "Demasiadas Mujeres" became an instant hit in Spain, debuting at the top of the PROMUSICAE chart and being gold-certified in only a week for selling over 20,000 copies. The song was, in fact, very different out of all the other things on the singer's repertoire and included a Holy Week marching band from Cádiz.^[5] The song included a message of frustration and elements of folk. Its respected music video included a scene of Tangana's own funeral as well as references to his past relationships with Rosalía and Berta Vázquez.^[6] On November 6, Tangana released featuring Niño de Elche and La Húngara "the most important song of his career", which he named "Tú Me Dejaste de Querer".^[7] He defined the track as a combination of rumba and bachata with elements of flamenco music. Its teaser reached over two million views on Twitter and another million and a half on Instagram.^[8]^[9] The track broke the record for the most-streamed song in Spain in a 24 hour period with 1,6 million national streams. As for international numbers, "Tú Me Dejaste de Querer" debuted at 31 on the Spotify Global chart, marking the first entry of Tangana on the list.^[10] The track also peaked at number one in Spain and was directly certified Gold after one week. The track was promoted at LOS40 Music Awards 2020.^[11] In January, a third single "Comerte Entera", in collaboration with Brazilian singer and guitarist Toquinho, was released to critical acclaim.^[12]
