Hotel Miranda! is the first remix album by Argentine electropop band Miranda!, released on 19 April 2023 by Sony Music Argentina. It features eleven re-recorded songs, originally from previous albums of the group, and contains guest vocals by singers Ca7riel, Lali, María Becerra, FMK, Emmanuel Horvilleur, Juan Ingaramo, Emilia, Cristian Castro, Francisca Valenzuela, Andrés Calamaro, Chano, Sofía Reyes and Bandalos Chinos.
Hotel Miranda! was preceded by the release of six singles between November 2022 and April 2023: "Don", "Navidad", "Yo Te Diré", "Uno los Dos", "Prisionero" and "Perfecta".
At the 26th Annual Premios Gardel, the album won the Album of the Year award (also known as Gardel de Oro), the most important award of the night. It also won Best Pop Group Album and Best Long-Form Music Video.[1]
Background
[edit]After a tour of festivals in countries like Argentina and Chile, the band made a mysterious post announcing that a piece of news would be published. The official announcement of the album was through a two-minute trailer posted on the band's social networks on October 25, 2022. The band posted the cover art of the album on April 17, 2023.
Concept and title
[edit]Hotel Miranda! is an album in which they remade old songs from albums such as El Disco de Tu Corazón and Sin Restricciones, with new productions and in collaboration with different singers, producers and writers, such as Evlay, Gabriel Lucena, Cachorro López, Big One, among others. The "hotel" is the place that the band came up with to represent a stage and universe to "celebrate their music," said Juliana Gattas.[2]
Alejandro Sergi said that Hotel Miranda! is "a celebration" of their repertoire and their career:
"Our new album is the most ambitious project we have embarked on. Reversions of our classics with guest singers and different producers. To all this we add the idea that the record is an audiovisual work. Each song has its video, and all the videos are linked together in a sequence that shows the day-to-day activities of the peculiar Hotel Miranda! and their mysterious owners."[3]
