René Villa introduces Rawr, his first studio album
Costa Rican singer-songwriter René Villa introduced his first studio album, Rawr, in December 2021. The release includes “It’s Your Fault” and brings together the artist’s work across pop, dance and Latin music.
Based in Playa Sámara, Villa writes and performs in both English and Spanish. His bilingual approach is part of the musical background described in the album’s contemporary release announcement.
Before Rawr, Villa collaborated with Alan Shepard on “A Tu Lado,” a song for Shepard’s album The Right Time. That collaboration preceded the debut and provides context for the new record’s arrival.
The release marks a move from individual collaborations to a studio album under Villa’s own name. BroadwayWorld’s December 19 announcement documents the launch and identifies “It’s Your Fault” among the featured songs.
