Julio Iglesias Jr. Finds His Own Voice

03.4.2023 | By |

Fifteen years – that’s how long it has been since Julio Iglesias Jr. released a new album. In an industry where artists are expected to constantly produce new music, this long hiatus could suggest a falling out of love with the art form. However, in today’s episode of ‘Highly Relevant,’ Julio shares a different story with me. He discusses his disappointment with his last record in 2008, his love for his father’s music, and his refusal to follow sonic trends evidenced by his new album ‘Under The Covers’ – a big band album with covers of hit songs. He also opens up about race and identity and how he defines himself: as a Spaniard, Filipino, or Latino. Listen below for the full interview. Read More

Our conversation also covered several interesting subjects such as the world’s love for animated films, why Hispanic animated films succeed and real-life Latino films and television shows don’t, and why she stopped using the term Hispanic to describe herself.
