The SOULMATES' History - Mireia & Josep
"Someday, I'm going to produce you an album"
Soulmates is a musical project that was born on may 2012 from Mireia (Mireia Tortajada: Voice and composser) and Jus (Josep Roca Soler, music, composser and musical producer).
The project appears to fulfill the promise that Jus did at Mireia some years earlier. When she was only 9 years old, she participated as soloist in a song entitled “Se hará realidad” ("Will come true"), composed by the Jus for his choir “Cor l’Amistat” (“Heart of Friendship”), from which he was the director and she was one of the components. From that moment Mireia became a regular soloist in the choir and a few years later, Jus promised her: "Someday I will produce an album"
Years passed and the moment arrived, SOULMATES is already a reality.
At the end of the 2011-2012 course, both friends began to think about what should be their first work, and what initially had to be a record of versions, ended up being an album with 12 themes of different styles, but with a single that identifies this pair of musicians, called "LOOKING FOR A NEW DAWN".
The musical production, the creation of the musical bases and instrumentation was the work of Josep, who tried to get the most out of what each subject kept and wanted to express. The recording was done in the studio JUS Studio of Gavà, for almost a year and a half, which allowed to create an ALBUM; not a set of singles united in the same CD. In addition, they had the collaboration, in some of the cuts, of great musicians such as Marc Sarrió (Saxo), Bohdan Okrutnyy (Violin), Agustí Alcaraz (Guitar) and Lluís Naval (Drums).
