Juan Wauters is back!

Today, he announces a new album MVD LUV along with a new single ‘If It’s Not Luv’ out now! 

Out today, first single “If It’s Not Luv” pulses with the warmth of Montevideo, blending hand percussion, sax, and Wauters’ signature simplicity. A buoyant reflection on love’s undeniable presence, the track captures the effortless joy woven through ‘MVD LUV’—his first album recorded in his hometown.

A love letter to both his roots and his present, ‘MVD LUV’ brings Uruguayan sounds to the global stage, incorporating candombe and murga rhythms into Wauters’ fusion of folk, pop, and experimentation. Recorded in locations across the city—from his own studio to sidewalks, rooftops, and the homes of featured musicians—the project carries a raw authenticity that makes Montevideo itself feel like an active presence in the music.

“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.“
