Romeo Santos And Marvel Reveal Super Hero Makeover For New Single “Héroe Favorito”
The song will be released on February 13.
Romeo Santos has debuted the cover of his new single “Héroe Favorito,” and it depicts the bachata star in a super hero costume, designed in conjunction with Marvel. Santos told Billboard on Wednesday that the outfit was inspired by the Punisher, but there's also a bit of X-Men in the gold trim, and a dash of Sailor Moon's Tuxedo Mask in Santos's not-so-secret eye covering.
Santos made the suit with Marvel Custom. "I always had this fascination with superheroes," Santos told Billboard. "Who didn't love Hulk and Spider-Man?" The suit only exists as a concept, and Santos has no plans to actually build a real prototype.
Golden, Romeo Santos's upcoming album, doesn't yet have a release date. But it has a direction: a fusion of jazz and bachata. "Jazz is not typically commercial; you don't hear much jazz on mainstream radio." Santos said. "[But] if you're a bachata fan and you're like, 'I don't really know if I dig jazz,' I don't think it's going to be a problem." The first single from Golden, "“Héroe Favorito," is out February 17.
