Gustavo wrote the lyrics, composed the melodies and created the musical base, while Marteen functioned as the co-author on a majority of the songs.

The album is a fusion of electronic, urban, lounge, rock, soul and pop sounds.

"Gustavo Laureano's first solo record is an ambitious project that takes musical chances in production and delivery, without forgetting the most important thing: great songs. On stage and on record, Gustavo shines with passion and talent. He mixes genres in an organic way, which is a reflection of what MTV Tr3's is all about.," says Jose Tillan, SVP of Music and Talent Strategy for MTV Tr3's.
