Gloria Estefan Returns to Sony Music Entertainment
Sony Music Entertainment is proud to announce the return of international superstar Gloria Estefan to her longtime label home.
The globally renowned seven-time Grammy award winning singer, songwriter and actress is resuming her incredibly successful, time-tested alliance with Sony Music via a multi-album agreement to develop a diverse array of new projects.
Gloria Estefan has achieved worldwide sales of over 100 million units over the course of her legendary career, and 38 #1 hits across the Billboard charts.
Her iconic hits, which include “Conga,” “Turn The Beat Around,” “Get On Your Feet” and Spanish-language chart-toppers “Con Los Anos Que Me Quedan” and “Mi Tierra,” have made an indelible impression on generations of music fans.
She also has received countless achievements; including her Oscar nominated song “Music of My Heart,” a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and an American Music Award for Lifetime Achievement. Much of her storied music career has been spent as a Sony Music recording artist, beginning with her years leading Miami Sound Machine.
Gloria Estefan expressed her enthusiasm about the alliance and announced her new project: “I’m excited to join again with Sony, who I have happily worked with for over 30 years,” she said. “The Standards, a project which has been a lifelong dream, will be the first of many more to come with my Sony family.”
The expansive, multilingual project The Standards is produced by Gloria herself. She personally selected songs with a deep connection to her life. These include American standards “The Way You Look Tonight” and “Good Morning Heartache,” which she performed at her very first Tonight Show appearance in 1985 with Miami Sound Machine.
She also wrote “The Day You Say You Love Me,” a moving English version of the Carlos Gardel tango classic “El Dia Que Me Quieras,” the only translation ever authorized by his estate. This gem is dear to her heart as it was her wedding song. The Standards is co-produced by Grammy Award-winning pianist, producer and arranger Shelly Berg, and Gloria’s husband, 19-time Grammy Award winner Emilio Estefan.
With more projects on the way to dazzle and delight her fans, the legendary Gloria Estefan will continue opening doors around the world as a premier artist of the Sony Music Entertainment family.
