For his seventh studio album, musician and singer-songwriter Juan Wauters returns with a love letter to his birthplace and hometown of Montevideo, Uruguay, via the just announced MVD LUV, out 27th June 2025 via Captured Tracks

More than a decade into his solo career, Wauters has sculpted his musical identity into a charismatic and charming, authentic and arresting tightrope act, balancing on that fine line hanging just below sincerity, and just above performative. On his new album, his skills as a songwriter shine bright. Bursting with joy, the bulk of the songs on MVD LUV are under two minutes in length, but the album as a whole showcases Wauters at his most endearing, writing with fondness and compassion about the Uruguayan city he’s loved and called home. The clarity of purpose in which Wauters utilises to illustrate Montevideo and its character paint a portrait of an artist with a deep devotion to his craft and subject matter.

Speaking on the album’s announcement, Wauters says “Hello everyone. Today I am announcing my seventh studio album MVD LUV a.k.a. Amor Montevideo. This time around you catch me in Montevideo, the city where I was born and grew up. Though I’m from here, this is the first time I get to record an album here. I have always longed to do this. Let’s get to it, make it through it, MVD LUV a.k.a. Amor Montevideo."
