He said the COVID-19 pandemic made this album different compared to others due to not being able to go to the studio.
“It was an album that came from the necessity of it, that a musician has to create and making the impossible possible so, different things came out of me while making this album,” Cuba said.
According to Cuba, the album will only be available digitally on all streaming platforms today.
