Summary

Released on 14 September 2010, 'Solamente Tú' is the song that launched Pablo Alborán's career — a tender, guitar-driven love ballad that shot straight to number one in Spain and earned 2× Platinum certification. Produced by Manuel Illán and written entirely by Alborán himself, its emotional directness and minimalist acoustic production stood apart from the production-heavy pop of its era. The song crossed into the US Latin market and remains the defining statement of Alborán's early artistic identity.
