Argentinian alt-pop duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso<\/a> have announced their new album, FREE SPIRITS<\/em>, out on March 19th. They\u2019ve also tapped Sting<\/a> for the new single \u201cHASTA JES\u00daS TUVO UN MAL D\u00cdA.\u201d<\/p>\n The duo had originally confirmed their sophomore album Top of the Hills\u00a0<\/i>back in December 2025, but soon after, they announced that they had shelved the album due to exhaustion from touring. Now, Top of the Hills<\/em> has been remade as\u00a0FREE SPIRITS<\/em>, and they\u2019ve introduced a dramatic new narrative along with it; according to a press release, the duo underwent a 12-step healing program at a wellness center run by Sting, who they\u2019ve enlisted as a collaborator and \u201cwellness mentor.\u201d<\/p>\n The album reportedly addresses \u201c12 problems\u201d that led to their breaking point following their five-award sweep at the Latin Grammy Awards last fall and the backlash from their \u201cGIMME MORE\u201d video. To further promote the new project, CA7RIEL, Paco, and Sting have opened applications to join the Free Spirits Wellness Program. You can apply here<\/a>, but beware, a press release notes that the selection process will be \u201crigorous, demanding and personally challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n Related Video<\/p>\n As for the music, CA7RIEL & Paco have brought Sting along for lead single \u201cHASTA JES\u00daS TUVO UN MAL D\u00cdA,\u201d which translates to \u201cEven Jesus Had a Bad Day.\u201d Taking a more rock-centric direction than their recent efforts, the song undoubtedly takes inspiration from The Police, Sting\u2019s solo work, and \u201980s stadium rock. They\u2019ve added a wailing saxophone, pounding drums, and plenty of attitude to the mix, with Sting arriving for the final verse and chorus. Listen to \u201cHASTA JES\u00daS TUVO UN MAL D\u00cdA\u201d below.<\/p>\n After going viral in 2024 for their Tiny Desk Concert<\/a>, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso spent much of 2025 touring on the back of their debut album Ba\u00f1o Mar\u00eda\u00a0<\/em>and their follow-up EP\u00a0Papota<\/a>; <\/em>the latter effort won the award for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album at the 2026 Grammys<\/a> this month. The duo also recently collaborated with producer Fred again.. for the track \u201cBeto\u2019s Horns.\u201d<\/p>\n
