After parting ways with the group he led and bearing his surname since last October, the musician born in Pamplona in 1982 announced the launch of a solo project. The plan is to craft a debut album that, according to the original timeline, would see the light toward the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024. The message appeared across social networks, where the artist indicated that he has already begun writing new songs and that the project will unfold with a very personal touch. He hinted at sharing parts of the composing and recording process with fans, inviting them to witness the journey from near the outset.
In a public note, the Navarra native described the venture as a new musical journey, one undertaken solo and with all the affection and enthusiasm in the world. The goal is to present fresh songs, new affinities, and a collection of works that could resonate with listeners in a meaningful way. He expressed hope that the material would move the audience, accompany them through listening, and perhaps offer the same sense of solace and inspiration that his past work has delivered to many fans.
The artist explained that he chose the Three Kings Day period to disclose the news, framing the announcement as a moment to honor the fuel that life’s dreams provide. He acknowledged that life can feel dizzying and uncertain at times, yet the timing reflected a belief in the power of illusion and possibility to carry a creative spark forward. This message arrived at a moment of transition, signaling a new chapter after leading his former band for a substantial period.
Before launching the solo path, the indie pop-rock outfit Izal released a string of acclaimed records. Their catalog includes notable titles such as La mujer de verde, El pozo, Copacabana, Pequeña gran revolución, and The incredible story of the man who can fly but can’t fly, among others. Each release contributed to a distinctive blend of melodic hooks, reflective lyrics, and a willingness to experiment within the indie rock landscape. The artist’s evolution reflects a trajectory from collaborative studio work to a solo voice that can offer a more intimate, highly personal perspective on life, love, and aspiration.
