SOULMATES – Still Here (2023)

SOULMATES is a musical project formed a decade ago by female singer Mireia Tortajada and Josep ‘Jus’ Roca Soler (songwriter & producer). Hailing from Catalonia, Spain, the history of the band goes way back when Mireia was only 9 years old and she participated as soloist in a song entitled “Will come true” composed by Jus for his choir “Cor l’Amistat” (“Heart of Friendship”), from which he was the director. Since that moment Mireia became a regular soloist in the choir and a few years later, Jus promised her: “Someday I will produce you an album”.
And that materialized at the end of 2012 in the form of the band SOULMATES, and the idea to record their first album. A band was assembled and the original idea was to make cover versions of legendary songs from their favorite bands: Bon Jovi, Queen, Toto, Journey… but ended up containing SOULMATES’ originals.
The band experimented line up changes over the years but with Mireia & Jus always at front, and recorded 2 more albums.

Now it’s time for their fourth entitled “Still Here“, featuring 11 tracks with that classic mid-Eighties American radio friendly sound, female fronted rock&pop, AOR, and melodic rock.
Songs like “Born to Be Stars”, “You’re the Music of My Life” or “Into the Run” are sure to please fans from the genre with the smooth sweet voice of Mireia and the polished production.
