Viewers watched every week as the guys went through a demanding “boy-band boot camp” designed by legendary pop impresario Johnny Wright (*NSYNC, Britney Spears). The task of becoming part of the new MENUDO required the chosen five members to take part in a rigorous process of musical, choreographic, and professional education. Although each member specializes in a particular type of music, the guys do it all and love the fact that the new MENUDO’s music crosses over several genres.

MENUDO have recorded more than 50 new songs for their first album due out September 9th and are already veterans after working with a wide variety of contemporary producers and writers including Danja (Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake), J.R. Rotem (Usher, Destiny’s Child), and Akon. When asked about the album, José calls it “urban pop, R & B, ballads, Latin flavors, a little bit of electronic.” Monti adds, “Everybody can relate to it. We put a lot of emotion into our songs, so we want to touch lives, we want to touch people.”
