Juan Wauters MVD LUV is more than just an albumits a homecoming. For the first time in his career, Wauters has recorded a full-length project in his birthplace of Montevideo, Uruguay, embracing the citys rich musical traditions while continuing to push the boundaries of his distinctive songwriting.A love letter to both his roots and his present, MVD LUV brings Uruguayansounds to the global stage, incorporating candombe and murga rhythms into Wauters signature fusion of folk, pop, and experimentation. Having spent much of his career in the United States, Wauters has long carried the dual identity of immigrant and native son. With MVD LUV, he set out to bridge those worlds, capturing the essence of Montevideos streets, homes, and communal spirit. The album was recorded in various locations across the city, from his own studio to sidewalks, rooftops, and the homes of featured musicians. This approach lends the project a raw authenticity, making Montevideo itself feel like an active presence in the music. Thematically, MVD LUV explores identity, nostalgia, and human connection. Tracks like Manejando por Pando and Siempre Vuelven reflect on returning home and the passage of time, while If Its Not Luv and DimeAmiga delve into love, companionship, and personal reflection. Ando conMiedo captures urban anxieties, juxtaposing introspection with the vibrant rhythms of the city. Throughout, Wauters crafts a deeply personal yet universal meditation on belonging. With MVD LUV, Juan Wauters presents a vibrant, heartfelt exploration of place and identity, creating an album that feels both deeply rooted and universally resonant. This is a record that doesnt just introduce listeners to Montevideoit invites them to feel at home within it.
