W Hotels Worldwide announced today that Latin American artist Elsa y Elmar is the latest artist to create exclusive music for W Records, the hotel brand's private label.
All proceeds from the new W Records exclusive song - "Adiós Amor" - will be donated to La Casita de San Ángel, a Mexico City-based organization that partners with businesses to find productive and stable employment for adults with intellectual disabilities and/or neurological injuries.
Elsa y Elmar's cover of the hit song "Adiós Amor," made popular by award-winning Mexican singer Christian Nodal, was released on August 13, 2021. The Colombian-born artist joins fellow W Records alumni Japanese Breakfast, Amber Mark, Roosevelt and Perfume Genius as the first Latin American artist on the label.
As with all W Records collaborations, the label will support a cause that is important to both W Hotels and the artist. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the streaming of Elsa y Elmar's two tracks will be donated to La Casita de San Ángel.
Recording in the W Sound Suite at the W Hollywood was a very fun experience. The setting was perfect, the vibe was great, and all my needs were taken care of while I did what I love to do most: make music. Los Angeles is such an intense and inspiring city, and the W Sound Suite is a creative oasis in the middle of Hollywood.
Elsa and Elmar

We are thrilled to finally be able to release Elsa y Elmar's music to the world after sharing her creative process in the W Sound Suite at W Hollywood. It's been an amazing journey and we are honored to see Elsa y Elmar's latest creation come to life as W Records' first Latin American artist, joining a roster that includes some of the most exciting artists in music today like Roosevelt and Japanese Breakfast.
