Renowned singer Marta Sánchez is in Gran Canaria, specifically in the Schamann neighborhood, for the recording of her new album. She is working closely with composer and producer Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson, reviving a musical connection they both describe as revitalizing.

The artist, celebrating over four decades of musical career, has found inspiration on the island for her next record project. The collaboration with Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson, a composer and producer originally from Gran Canaria, marks a significant reunion for both.
Sánchez-Ohlsson, who admired Marta Sánchez since his time in London, sees a dream fulfilled by working with the artist. Their previous collaboration includes the emotional ballad 'Abrázame,' and now, on the island, they aim to create a sound that renews the singer's career.
The Dr. Wattson studio in Schamann is the epicenter of this production. Following the passing of Christian de Walden, an important collaborator in Sánchez's career, this new project with Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson represents a stage of 'renewal' and a 'musical savior' for her.
Despite his prestige, Sánchez-Ohlsson acknowledges the difficulty of being recognized in his homeland. The reunion in Gran Canaria adds a special personal component to the project, where both artists feel very comfortable.
The artist confesses that this project has given her a 'new boost and enthusiasm' after four decades in the industry. The goal is to release a single before the end of 2026, with the full album expected in 2027.
Marta Sánchez wishes for all the songs on the new album to be compositions by Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson, although the composer remains cautious about such significant responsibility. Sound engineer Sr. Kokis is also involved in finalizing the details.
Marta Sánchez's presence in Gran Canaria has intensified, partly due to her romantic relationship with someone from the island. The creation of this album with a producer from Gran Canaria particularly excites her, anticipating that 'the album looks very good'.
Tracks like 'Abrázame,' 'Piénsame,' and 'Elévate' are previous examples of their collaboration. The producer fondly recalls Marta Sánchez's call in 2012, which marked the beginning of a dream that remains vibrant through their mutual admiration.
It is anticipated that Marta Sánchez's new album will recapture the vocal power of her early career, as 'the voice has memory,' according to the artist, who states that Tony has given her a vocal 'facelift'.
Enthusiasm is palpable at the Dr. Wattson studio, where Marta Sánchez, with a career spanning over four decades, is immersed in a 'Made in Canarias' project that promises to be a landmark.
