On May 1, 2020 a documentary about Amaia and the album production was released on Amazon Prime Video platform, with the title "Una vuelta al sol" ("A tour around the Sun") referring to the 1-year period before the album's release.[2] The documentary was nominated for "Best Long Form Music Video" at the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards.

Background

Since Amaia (then under the stage name of Amaia Romero) won the ninth edition of the Spanish talent show Operación Triunfo in February 2018, there has been a lot of expectation about how the singer would shape her first studio album.[3] The month after that, the singer signed a contract with Universal Music which allowed her to release a single with the record label. Her talent show companions signed the same contact. The singer's fans began to worry about the release of her debut album as there were no news about it and all of Romero's talent show colleagues had already released some singles. In October 2018 Amaia stated that her debut album would be produced by Raül Refree who she admired since his work with Spanish singer Rosalía on her 2017 studio album Los Ángeles.[4] A month later, Amaia was seen in New York City recording her latest project.[5]

Even though the singer confirmed that the album would be released in 2019, some rumors stated that there was a bad relationship between Amaia's manager (who is also her brother) and the director of the record label. They disagreed in some deadlines and decisions.[6] Universal Music ordered Amaia to release a song before the tenth series of Operación Triunfo ended. To meet the deadline, the singer released "Un Nuevo Lugar", a very organic promotional single on December 18, 2018.[7]

In January, Romero was confirmed to be part of the Warm Up Festival, which was set in Murcia in May 2019.[8] This meant that the album's first single would be released a little bit earlier. Narcís Rebollo, the president of Universal Music Spain, confirmed in February 2019 (while the singer was in Buenos Aires working on the album) that this would be released in September of that year.[9] Rebollo stated that: "she wants to work in the whole part of composition, production, there are profiles of artists who have the ability or ease of making an album in six months and Amaia requires more time".[10] Despite the president's statements, in April 2019 more information about the album got leaked. It was said that an economic conflict between Rebollo and Refree, the producer, caused the elimination of all the material produced by him which led Amaia to work with Santiago Motorizado to write and record over twenty songs in less than a month in order to release a single before hitting the Warm Up Festival stage,[11] In "Una Vuelta al Sol", Amaia explains that she didn't like the roots the first version of the album was following with Refree due to the delicacy and mysticality of the sound, which felt to much for a debut album for her. Thus, she contacted Motorizado with who she made the definitive version of "Pero No Pasa Nada" in early 2019 between Chile and Argentina.

On April 26, 2019, the singer finally announced the release of her first solo single.[12] "El relámpago" was released on May 3 and peaked at number 24 on the PROMUSICAE chart and stayed on the list for over three weeks. The first promotional single, "Nadie Podría Hacerlo" was released on June 21, 2019.[13] The second official single was released on August 2, 2019 and titled "Quedará en nuestra mente".[14]

Amaia announced on June 28, 2019 through her respective social media profiles that her first studio album "Pero No Pasa Nada" will be released in September. She also revealed its cover, tracklist and tour.[15] On August 18, 2019, the singer announced the official release date of the album.[16]

Promotion

Singles

The album's first official single, "El Relámpago", was announced on April 26, 2019 and released a week later. It received generally positive reviews for its epic instrumental and well-produced music video.[17] The song peaked at 24 on the Spanish musical chart PROMUSICAE. It didn't last very long on the chart due to its low streaming numbers. A 7 inch single was released on June 21. 2019 with its B-side "Nadie Podría Hacerlo".

"Quedará en nuestra mente" was released on August 2, 2019 as the album's second single.

Promotional singles

"Nadíe Podria Hacerlo" was released as the album's first promotional single on June 21, 2019.

Amaia concert chronology

Pero No Pasa Nada Tour is the first solo concert tour by Spanish singer and songwriter Amaia. The tour will support her debut album Pero No Pasa Nada. It began on October 5, 2019 at the Auditorio Baluarte in Pamplona. The tour is set to end on May 9, 2020 at the Cartuja Center in Seville. After a lot of speculation, the singer revealed the first fourteen dates of her debut tour on June 28, 2019 though her social media. Tour tickets went on sale on July 5, 2019. After less than a day, the tour's first show sold-out.[18] A second show in Pamplona was announced on July 22 and also sold out in 24 hours.[19] A second concert in Madrid was announced on September 5. The tickets for the concerts in Barcelona and Valencia also sold-out but there's no plan to add a second date in those cities. Two new corcerts in Huelva and Córdoba were announced on December 2, 2019.[20] Due to phenomenal demand, Amaia announced during her performance at the Liceu that she would come back to the city in June.[21] She'll also perform in Barcelona as part of Primavera Sound, one of the most important music festivals in the world and the most important in Spain.

In March 2020, after many space restrictions ordered by the Government of Spain to prevent the spread of COVID-19, many dates where postponed to fall or 2021 or were even cancelled.
