When I read this story for the first time I thought it was one of those jokes that circulate from time to time over the Internet. Once I was able to confirm that is true I write.
The truth is that the news surprised me. Of all the possible candidates to replace Soledad Gimenez (Former frontman), which never would have considered serious precisely Lydia, and not because I like it or not this skilled, it is rather a question of style and continuity in the band.
Who more and who less had considered various possibilities: that if a complete stranger would, it would be a new voice for the occasion discovered, that if I could become a famous soloist could fit….and all these thoughts you thought the new member of the group would follow the trail of Sole in technique, nuanced voice warm and rich timbre.
Besides surprised, I'm looking forward to hearing what the result of seeing Lydia in front of Presets and what musical dynamics that follow the group and as the old songs sounded.
Personally, I think Lydia is an artist unfairly treated by different ways and for different reasons and that, also, their participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, back in 1999, banished to a desolate musical background. If you ask me life, latest work to date has published, I think a good album that contains some interesting topics, addition to the collaboration of Nacho Campillo and a version that I love about Across The Universe.
Market account with three recording projects: Lydia (1996), A hundred times a day (1998) and If you ask me life (2002) and also three other collections: Lydia, the touch of your skin (1999), Discography Básica (2002) and Lydia: greatest hits (2003), something that is disproportionate for an artist who has only three studio albums and a short run.
After that little or nothing has been heard from her: some collaboration and had participated in the musical Jesus Christ Superstart.
From time to time, at home, when it has been sounding a theme If you ask me the life I have been wondering if this would have the chance to present new material and if this would be the last line of the solo album but who would have thought you would like voice ? I, course, no.
Returning to Presets, his representative has stated that the band has taken into account that “Sole is unique so it would be foolish to imitate like trying to stray too far from it” and that is why the “The group has not made any effort to stop being what it is and Lydia is very adaptable style vocally Presets” and they are very happy with what they are doing.
Nacho hand and Juan Luis Giménez think the choice is very successful because Lydia is very good and did not seek to argue that someone who looked like Sole, but its her and her voice fit well with the kind of songs they compose.
Not the first time Lydia works with members of the group. Nacho work with her on the duet album Armando Manzanero and Juan Luis did as producer Lydia's second job.
In September, it sells Will, name of the new work Presets. Is scheduled for the month of July starts playing the single and until that comes Soledad Gimenez has released a recommendation to Lydia: To search for a good lawyer. It will be a message hidden in those words or a way to welcome?
I leave you with the audio of the interview in La Ventana Lydia a couple of days:

Please discuss this with the professionalism it deserves. I see that you appreciate the music of Lydia and I think that will not disappoint the new Presets album with his voice.
Thanks again and I convey this news to own Lydia I know you will like muchísmo.
A hug.
We try to be fair, we like it in, in the good and the not so good…but not always coseguimos.
We like this kind of thanks. A hug and a big kiss Rafa Lydia.
ami as I loved singing lydia,in eurovision did not give more points for politicking that's all for my taste but not bad singing is the only thing that the dress she wore was a little extrabagante puestao, but otherwise fine song.
even I have and of course I'm listening to the albums she makes 12 years in which he sang a song Alejandro Sanz.
I think you will have luck with suspects, is a great singer with a voice piece.
a greeting.
