Solo Project Launch

According to both Telemundo Puerto Rico and Metro Puerto Rico, Huerta has signed a global distribution agreement with Virgin Records. The music will be released through his newly founded label, Nebulosa Records. The album announcement follows the release of 'Génesis', an instrumental single with three movements that paves the way for 'Interestelar', the first official track from 'Sombrero', available starting Oct. 21.

Creative Process and Statement

In a statement shared by both outlets, Huerta said: "Jesse and the Supernovas nace de la necesidad de abrir un espacio propio para otras ideas, sonidos e inquietudes que también forman parte de mí." He explained that Nebulosa Records will give the project its own direction from the start, while Virgin Records provides global infrastructure to reach new audiences.

The reports are nearly identical in wording and details, with Metro Puerto Rico adding an EFE dateline from Mexico City.
