Not every artist is fortunate enough to succeed to the extent Toby Love did after releasing his self-titled debut album September of 2006. Months after leaving world renowned Bachata group, Aventura, of which he was a back up vocalist for six years,Toby Love launched his solo career only to position himself as one of the leading artists in the Bachata genre. His debut single "Tengo Un Amor" was # 1 on the Latin charts for over two consecutive months. All three of the albums' singles reached top 10 on the Latin charts. In April of 2007, he got nominated for 4 Latin Billboard Awards of which he won two for Tropical Airplay Song of the Year, New Artist for his hit song `Tengo un Amor' and the Latin Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year for Toby Love. Later that year he was invited to perform in Univision's "Premios Juventud" along with Urban Latin rap star Hector El Father and Salsa icon Victor Manuelle. Almost two years have passed since his debut album released yet Toby Love is still reaping the benefits of his success selling out shows all over Europe, Central and South America. Toby Love is back and by popular demand; hence the title of his sophomore album,"Love is Back". Lyrically we hear a grown up Toby who reveals intimate experiences.Musically the album has more of a traditional Bachata feel. "Love is Back" is the perfect transition album for his career and for the fans that have grown up simultaneously with him. It includes more mature themes which his fan base can relate to living vicariously through the music. With subjects ranging from a man's need to cry, falling in love and betrayal to the destructiveness of drugs, the album encompasses what most adolescents and young adults are faced with in today's society. "Love is Back" is a groundbreaking album for Toby Love that will solidify his position as one of the forerunners of this very popular and emerging Bachata genre. |
