“TARDE O TEMPRANO” (“SOONER OR LATER”)
When Tommy Torres describes his new album, he does it with three precise words: Honest, Risky and Profound. Because this album is the result of a totally free creative process, from the songwriting to the recording to the final production, Tommy let himself be guided by only one thought: “The only objective of my songs is that they be enjoyed by others. Obviously I enjoy them as well, but I think that if there is something that moves me, the possibilities that others may like it too are very high.” It’s just that kind of internal weather vane-or as he would say, “sensors”-that has always given direction to his work.
“Tarde o Temprano” was co-produced with Dan Warner and Lee Levin, close collaborators Tommy’s for almost a decade and with whom he shares a great musical affinity. Other key participants are mix engineer extraordinaire Bob Clearmountain (Bryan Adams, The Rolling Stones, Sheryl Crow), cord arranger David Campbell (Greenday, Aerosmith), mastering engineer Brian Gardner (Dr. Dre, Black Eyed Peas), and Christian Nieves who was responsible the traditional Puerto Rican “cuatro”.
In addition to all of the talents gathered in the studio, Tommy was also supported by the collaboration of Tego Calderon on the track “El Trabajito”, which is interesting experimental fusion of traditional Puerto Rican roots music with the very personal interpretive style of this highly recognized urban artist.
Although “Tarde o Temprano” is classified within the Rock & Pop genre, as were his other two albums, the biggest change has been the great influence of the traditional music of his homeland. “There are many ingredients of the “criolla” music; mountain music and popular roots music such as the “Aguinaldo.” There are other elements of the “Bomba” or the “Plena” that are especially known for their upbeat, danceable side, but in this record I use them at a much slower pace,” explains Tommy. A glimpse at this tendency had been seen a couple of years ago when he did “Tu Recuerdo” by Ricky Martin, which was topped off with R&B and Acoustic Pop touches as well.” On the other hand, this record also contains urban, “chill” and electronic sounds, giving it a certain eclectic touch.
In addition to the musical elements that come together in this record, Tommy also looks for a diversity of lyrical themes, coloring them with the thoughts, ideas and stories that have passed recently through his head. Songs like “Tarde o Temprano” showcase situations, personalities, reflections; they are very visual songs. “I like honest and straightforward lyrics more than looking for the poetic side. I have realized that my songs that people have liked most are those that I wrote without any pressure, nor high expectations.”

“Sooner or later, time will prove you right.” Tommy Torres has had this saying on his mind a lot lately. People from his inner circle say it to him and he ponders it. Four years since his last album and eight since his first one, this multi–award-winning Puerto Rican music producer has much to offer; he was just waiting for the right moment to arrive.
Graduated from The Berklee College of Music and with several years of recording engineering experience behind him, at the end of the 90s Tommy began his ascending career as a composer, arranger and producer. His is the masterful hand behind mega hits of artists like Ricky Martin, Ricardo Arjona, Ednita Nazario, Paulina Rubio and Eros Ramazotti, among others. He has received numerous recognitions; Grammys, Latin Grammys, Billboard and Premio Lo Nuestro awards.
“There is something that I’ve learned from the artists with whom I have worked; something that those with long, successful careers have in common. They are not afraid of change, they treat each record as if it was their first and they don’t get stuck on one formula. This has led Tommy to release his own productions: “Tommy Torres” (2001), “Estar De Moda No Está De Moda” (2004) and his current release “Tarde o Temprano” (April 2008).
