Super Star Marco Antonio Solis Delivers yet another International Musical Masterpiece: “Razon de Sobra”

Woodland Hills, CA -- Just off the heels of a 20-date U.S. concert tour, Fonovisa superstar recording artist and Latin GRAMMY® award winner Marco Antonio Solis delivers yet another mesmerizing gem to his prized recording collection “Razon De Sobra.” A full-fledged Latin pop album adorned with strings, whimsical accordion and his trademark emotive vocals that appeal to all generations of Latin music fans.

In a milestone accomplishment, Marco Antonio Solis becomes the first Latin artist to have four albums in two different genres simultaneously on the Latin music Billboard charts: “Razon De Sobra,” “Dos Grandes,” “Tu Amor O Tu Desprecio” and “La Historia Continua.”

Marco Antonio Solis’ music has been his passport to international success not only in his native Mexico and the U.S. but has extended to South America where his albums have earned Gold and Platinum success and multiple ‘Sold Out’ concerts. In February 2005, Marco Antonio Solis will perform at the renowned ‘Festival Internacional de la Cancion de Viña del Mar’, in Chile.

On “Razon De Sobra”, Solis, who produces his own material along with arranger Pablo Aguirre, worked together on an album that expands his international appeal. The result is a magnificent collection of 10 new songs that will delight his fans worldwide.

Highlights include the hauntingly beautiful “Mi Mayor Sacrificio” on which Marco Antonio Solis exudes an incomparable passion; the powerful ballad “Razon De Sobra” and harmonies soaring gracefully over lyrics on “Siempre Me Toco Perder” and the rhythmic “Sin Pensarlo.” Other musical gems include “Nuestra Confesion,” and “Siempre Tu A Mi Lado.”

The first single to radio “Mi Mayor Sacrificio,” is a romantic emotion driven pop ballad that speaks directly to the heart and soul. 

The album also is available on a DVD option that features the video “Mi Mayor Sacrificio,” a special interview with Marco Antonio Solis recorded during the filming of the video and a photo gallery.

Marco Antonio Solís’ music remains as original today as it did when he first began burning up the charts in the 80’s.  He continues to produce music that transcends beyond the musical trends and generations simply by following his own creative vision.
