Doreen Montalvo: Press

"Where Latinas Matter!"
The ever talented
Doreen Montalvo

Back to Entertainment “Volvere” a must buy!

Doreen Montalvo just released her debut album entitled, “Volvere” with Meme Solis. This 12 track cd will have one
hand reaching for the ballroom dress in the back of your closet and the other for a glass of red wine.

Doreen makes the listener feel artistic, romantic and spicy all at the same time. You can feel her soul singing in this
album, so much to the point that you have a warm butterfly feeling in your stomach. The feeling is so hard to explain,
but with a significant other in the room easy to express. You hear her sing about love and at the same time her voice
embodies you with love. At one point hearing her music had distracted me from Mija for about 4 days, to write poetry.

“Volvere” highlights a blend of classic romantic songs of Puerto Rico and Cuba. She worked with legendary Cuban singer/
songwriter, Meme Solis. My favorite song on the album is, “Que te pedi” where Doreen delivers a bag full of rising high
and dramatic lows vocally. Who knows drama better than Doreen anyways? As you may or may not know she performed
off Broadway performance as "La Lupe" in the critically acclaimed "La Lupe, Mi vida Mi Destino, as well as in the Hola Award
winning performance as Cecilia in "Havana Under The Sea". Most recently she played the role of La Curandera in the World
Premiere of Frank Loesser's new musical "Senor Discretion Himself.
