Carlos Malva returns with “Volteretas,” the first single from his upcoming album. After making *Contenido Sensible* one of the debut albums nominated by the Spanish Music Academy, he’s switched producers, cranked up the guitars, and embarked on a new phase that sounds bigger, more direct, and more ambitious.
There are artists who need to find their sound.
And there are others who need to lose it in order to find themselves again.
Something similar seems to have happened to Malva.
His name is Carlos Segura Visedo; he’s from Murcia and has been exploring that increasingly fascinating territory situated between Spanish pop, guitars, and a generation that no longer seems too concerned with determining where one thing ends and another begins.
Now she’s back with a song called “Volteretas.”
It’s only 2:45 long.
But it contains a much more significant statement:
Malva wants to start over.
And this time, he wants to make a huge splash.
First, listen to “Volteretas”
“Volteretas” is the first single from Malva’s upcoming album and also marks a major change in her creative team.
The song was produced by Tato Latorre, a producer known for his work with artists such as Andrés Suárez, Valeria Castro, and La Pegatina, and was recorded in Madrid and Barcelona.
You can hear the change.
Larger guitars.
A rhythm section with considerably more weight.
Expansive production.
And a voice that starts off subdued but gradually builds until it reaches a chorus meant to linger.
It doesn’t seem like a break from the previous Malva.
It seems more like an extension of it.
It’s as if someone had taken the same photograph and zoomed in on it.
Who is Malva?
The short answer would be:
a musician from Murcia named Carlos Segura Visedo.
An interesting answer takes a little more time.
Malva has been building her career for years. She’s appeared on television—including *Factor X*—performed at venues, and experimented with different ways to turn songs into a recognizable identity.
But he himself has explained that he considers Sensitive Content to be the true beginning of his current phase.
In an interview published in 2024, he summed it up quite clearly: he was proud of his past, but his artistic “truth” at that moment was that first album.
And it’s important.
Because ” Sensitive Content ” ended up changing Malva’s size.
A debut titled *Sensitive Content*
The album was released on October 18, 2024.
Ten songs.
“Collapse.”
“Broken Voice.”
“Two Castaways.”
“Benidorm 2020.”
“Air Love.”
“From what I’ve heard.”
“Twizy Ferrari.”
“New Romantic.”
“Your perfect match.”
“I need to get better.”
It was recorded at Arde el Arte in Murcia, produced by Ricardo Ruipérez of M-Clan, with contributions from Mario Vigara and Raúl de Lara.
But perhaps the most interesting thing about the album was hidden in the title.
Content. Sensitive.
Two seemingly innocent words.
Taken together, they said a lot about the way Malva understood music.
In the age of content, Malva wanted to create something that would stand the test of time
There is a statement by Carlos from that period that is particularly interesting today.
We live surrounded by “content.”
TikTok.
Instagram.
Videos.
Streams.
Numbers.
Algorithms.
Reproductions.
Artists are forced to constantly feed a digital machine that never seems to have enough.
Malva went on to explain that she didn’t want artistic content to be reduced to chasing numbers or creating a viral TikTok.
I wanted to do something that someone would remember years later.
That’s why:
Sensitive Content.
It was almost a small statement against music created solely to be played on a screen.
And it worked.
The Academy of Music knocked on the door
In 2025, an important confirmation came.
Sensitive Content was nominated for Best Pop/Rock Album at the 2nd Spanish Music Academy Awards.
And it’s worth taking a look at who was around.
84 — Bonita Resaca
Malva — Sensitive Content
Vega — Ignis
Cariño — So Much to Do
Depedro — A Perfect Place
This is not an editorial interpretation: this is the official list published by the Academy itself.
For a debut album, it’s not bad at all.
And that wasn’t the only warning.
LOS40 had also included his name among the breakthrough artists
A few months earlier, Malva had been nominated for Best New Artist or Group at the 2024 LOS40 Music Awards in Santander.
That is to say:
Something was happening.
Perhaps he wasn’t yet one of those names capable of making headlines simply by announcing a song.
But he began to appear repeatedly in places where up-and-coming artists are spotted.
And then comes “Volteretas.”
A song about when someone turns your life upside down
The title works because we all understand the image.
Doing a somersault means losing your sense of which way is up and which way is down for a moment.
And that’s exactly what Malva uses when talking about certain relationships.
People arriving.
Changing emotions.
Contradictions.
Money orders.
Moments when what seemed stable is no longer so.
The press release describes the song as capturing precisely that feeling of losing one’s emotional balance and experiencing something that is beyond our control.
But the production does something interesting.
Don’t turn that instability into a ballad.
It does the opposite.
It converts it into energy.
Tato Latorre changes Malva’s size
This is probably the most important musical aspect of the comeback.
The first album featured Ricardo Ruipérez, a member of M-Clan, as a key figure in the production.
Now it says:
Tato Latorre.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that Malva has changed her identity.
But the scale does seem to have changed.
“Volteretas” retains the melodic sensibility of their previous songs, but adds more powerful guitars, a more contemporary production, and a structure that’s much more focused on the impact of the chorus. The song was recorded in Madrid and Barcelona.
That’s an important difference.
Because the next album won’t have to answer to:
Who is Malva?
Now the question is:
How far can it go?
Murcia is back on the map
It’s also worth taking a closer look at its origins.
For years, Murcia has been home to a vibrant music scene that’s hard to ignore.
M-Clan.
Long live Sweden.
Bogotá is on fire.
Kuve.
And a whole network of musicians, producers, studios, and venues that has turned the region into a particularly fertile ecosystem for Spanish guitars.
Malva’s first album was directly connected to that scene: Ricardo Ruipérez, Mario Vigara, and Raúl de Lara contributed to its creation.
In fact, some promotional presentations have used a rather amusing expression to describe their city:
“Our Manchester on the Peninsula.”
The comparison may seem exaggerated.
But it’s starting to make some sense.
Malva doesn’t want to compete with anyone
There’s another statement he made that really helps us understand the character.
In an interview with LOS40, he explained that he views an artistic career as:
“A race against yourself, not a competition against anyone else.”
That fits in pretty well with the trends we’re seeing.
There does not appear to be any obvious attempt to focus on a specific genre.
Nor of becoming the next Artist X.
Or to artificially create a sound for a playlist.
There’s pop music.
Rock.
Singer-songwriter.
Irreverence.
Vulnerability.
Guitars.
And now, a much larger production.
The goal seems to be to find out how much Malva can grow while still sounding like Malva.
And “Volteretas” is already starting to take shape
Here is a very recent piece of information that I find particularly significant.
The song just came out, and it’s already appearing on major discovery platforms.
In Spotify’s current lineup, “Volteretas” appears on Radar Indie, one of the editorial playlists specifically designed to discover and highlight new releases from the indie scene.
It also currently appears on playlists of Spanish hits from 2026.
It’s best not to make that into something it isn’t yet.
That doesn’t mean “Volteretas” is already a hit.
But it does mean something important:
The song has started to spread.
The music video is the other half of “Volteretas”
And here, I wouldn’t just include the video as a simple link at the end of the article.
I’d rank it very highly.
Malva’s new chapter isn’t just being unveiled through music. “Volteretas” is accompanied by its official music video, which serves as a visual manifesto for this new era.
On LoffMusic, I would insert it after the third or fourth paragraph, even before getting into the history of Contenido Sensible.
We want anyone coming from Discover to take immediate action:
read → listen → watch → continue reading.
Next up will be a new album
And this is perhaps the main reason why it’s worth paying attention to this now.
“Volteretas” is not a standalone single.
It’s the first single from Malva’s upcoming album.
So far, I haven’t found any public announcements regarding the album’s title or a definitive release date in the sources I’ve reviewed.
So I wouldn’t make them up.
That is exactly what allows us to keep this URL active.
When the second single is released:
We update.
Once we know the title and cover:
We update.
When the date arrives:
We update.
And when the disc appears:
This page has been collecting clues about Malva, a new album, and Volteretas for months now.
We Discover Malva
You may not need to know his last name just yet.
But it’s worth remembering the name.
Mallow.
Murcia.
He was 24 when he released his first album.
A debut album that sought to challenge the culture of fast-paced content by focusing precisely on sensitivity.
A nomination on LOS40.
Another one from the Academy of Music.
And now, a new producer, a new album on the way, and a song that seems to want to turn the volume up several notches compared to everything that came before.
It’s called “Volteretas.”
And perhaps the title will end up describing what’s happening with his career as well.
Because sometimes moving forward doesn’t mean walking in a perfectly straight line.
Sometimes you have to build up momentum.
To lose one’s balance.
Turn.
To land on your feet.
And continue.
Malva has just taken the first step toward what’s to come.
