Enrique Iglesias Reveals Next Album Will Be His Last: "I Think This Is That Final One"

Legendary Spanish singer-songwriter Enrique Iglesias is sticking to his promise to stop recording new music after his upcoming 11th studio album.

With the focus now on Final (Vol. 2) in recent months, when the second installment finally does drop in next year it will have come more than two years after its predecessor.

The Final volumes are the last "Hero" singer will release in the traditional album form. 

In a recent interview with Today, the pop superstar provided a timeline for the album's release and opened up about what that meant for his career.

"It's finished. It's actually coming out in February," Enrique said. "It’s completely finished. What I want to do is shoot one or two videos right before the second leg on the tour and launch it,".

Enrique would go on to reiterate that his upcoming studio album, Final (Vol 2), will in fact be his last.

"I’ve been working on this album for quite a bunch of years. And for me it was always like I said, my final album… this is it. I don’t think — no, I know, I won't be doing any more albums,”.

Since mid-October, Iglesias has been out on the road with Ricky Martin and Pitbull for The Trilogy Tour. A month into the triple-headed concerts, it was announced that the tour was being extended with 18 new shows taking place in 2024.

The trio of musicians are all well acquainted with each other after having shared the stage while out on tour together.

Iglesias and Pitbull previously went on tour in 2017, while Iglesias and Martin also teamed up in 2021 for their own series of gigs.

The "Bailamos" singer has been open and honest in recent times about the Final volumes being his last release in the traditional album form. 

"It might be my final album. It's not something that I have been thinking about for the past few months. It’s something that I have been thinking about for the past few years,' Iglesias shared in September 2021.

"There’s going to be Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, but they're final. I'm in that moment in my life, that chapter in my life, where I think it's the right time to put it out and I've been thinking about this since 2015,".

Despite the news, fans can be rest assured that Iglesias has insisted he won’t stop making music altogether. He promised that was not the case, and that he would be dropping singles, and other projects will still come.

"For me, in my life, I think this is that final one," he affirmed of his plans.

"I'm never going to stop writing songs because I love writing songs, but I'm going to do it in a different way – meaning they don't necessarily have to be packaged as an album – so this project to me is important," he explained at the time.

In October, Iglesias released the first Vol. 2 single "Así Es La Vida", featuring Argentinian singer Maria Beccera.

The legendary singer-songwriter is slated to drop his last studio album "Final (Vol 2)" in February 2024.
