El Madrileño (English: The Madrilenian) is the second studio album by Spanish rapper and singer-songwriter C. Tangana. Written by Tangana and co-produced with Alizzz, the album was released through Sony Music on February 26, 2021. With this record, Tangana ventured into a more organic and guitar oriented sound to his previous hip hop and urban 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 or flamenco artists from many countries and ages.[1][2] The result is a colored mosaic of Tangana's teenage influences and the adoption of a new alter ego named after the album.

The record became a commercial success, debuting atop the

Tiny Desk concert, was released on February 18, 2022.[6]

With El Madrileño, C. Tangana scored his first

Rosalía, and for her song "Malamente", which he also co-wrote.[7] El Madrileño was nominated for Album of the Year and won Best Engineered Album while the Omar Apollo duet "Te Olvidaste" was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Alternative Song. "Nominao", featuring Jorge Drexler, won the latter category while "Hong Kong", featuring Andrés Calamaro, was awarded Best Pop/Rock Song.[8] Longtime friend and musical collaborator of Tangana, Alizzz, scored a Producer of the Year nomination.[9]

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.[10] 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.[11]

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.[12]

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".[13]

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

Rosalía and Berta Vázquez.[15] 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".[16] 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.[17][18] 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.[19] 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.[20] In January, a third single "Comerte Entera", in collaboration with Brazilian singer and guitarist Toquinho, was released to critical acclaim.[21]

In September 2021, a clothing collection in collaboration with Bershka, inspired in the album, was released.[22]
