One of Mexico’s up-and-coming pop groups, Belanova are touring in support of their newly released Sueño Electro I . The unstoppable trio from Guadalajara first tasted success with 2003’s Cocktail —its lead single “Tus Ojos” (“Your Eyes”) found a home on both a national car commercial and the top of the charts. It’s been a steady journey upward since; the band have enjoyed Latin Grammy nominations and top-selling singles, with “Por Ti” (“For You”) dominating MTV Mexico’s Top 20 for 29 weeks. That’s quite a lot for a group who bank on freewheeling, dreamy synth-pop. But they’re not slowing down any time soon: Belanova’s latest project was so major they had to split it into two installments. You can get the first part on iTunes now, but Sueño Electro II won’t drop until sometime next year.
