Head to Lamega.com and listen to the premiere of Prince Royce's new latin single “Las Cosas Pequeñas”! The highly anticipated first single can be found on his second bachata album “Phase II”, which drops on April 10th.
“I am excited to share my new bachata music with the public and especially with my fans. ‘Las Cosas Pequeñas’ (‘The Little Things’) is about those things that may not cost a lot but have great sentimental value and mean so much to us,” Royce said.
“Las Cosas Pequeñas” will be available on iTunes starting January 24 and the video will be released by the end of this month. Directed by Carlos Perez of Elastic People, the video was shot in New York City, where the young Dominican-American singer songwriter was born and raised.
After scoring with four hit singles on his self-titled debut álbum (March 2010), “Stand By Me”, “Corazón Sin Cara”, “El Amor Que Perdimos” and “Mi Ultima Carta”, and two top-knotch hit collaboration tracks, “El Verdadero Amor Perdona” alongside Maná, and “Ven Conmigo” with Daddy Yankee, the brand new single marks the start of a new phase for the artist who reached triple platinum status in the US and Puerto Rico.
“After all of the love my debut album has received, I have felt more encouraged and inspired than ever to record and release my new material which is a natural evolution of my brand of bachata. I hope to continue to deliver positive messages while offering great dance music”, expressed Royce.Head to Lamega.com and listen to the premiere of Prince Royce's new latin single “Las Cosas Pequeñas”!

Billboard magazine’s Year End Issue’s Latin Charts illustrate the success story of Latin music’s biggest breakthrough artist in years, 22-year old singer-songwriter Prince Royce, who topped 11 Billboard Year End Latin Charts: #1 Top Latin Album, #1 Top Latin Artist- Male, #1 Top Latin Album Artist, #1 Hot Latin Song (for “Corazon Sin Cara”), #1 Hot Latin Songs Artists, #1 Tropical Albums, #1 Tropical Albums Artist, #1 Tropical Songs, #1 Tropical Songs Artist, #1 Tropical Digital Songs Artist, #1 Hot Latin Songwriter (as Geoffrey “Prince Royce” Rojas).
What makes Prince Royce’s chart standing even more astonishing are the colleagues that share the top Latin chart spots with the debut indy-label artist - industry veterans including crossover artists such as Shakira, Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you once again for all of this to my fans, my music label Top Stop Music, my work team, radio and retail who have supported me from the beginning. . . I appreciate the amazing opportunity to be part of this industry and I promise to keep making great music and evolving with each production,” expressed Prince Royce upon receiving news of his eleven #1s on the Billboard charts.
Prince Royce’s self-titled debut album has been certified Triple Platinum in the US and Puerto Rico, making him the only Latin music artist to achieve triple platinum status in 2011. He has also just completed his second sold out US Tour, this one alongside Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull, and has also sold out two European tours in the last year and a half.
These milestones come on the heels of many others recently achieved by the Dominican-American singer/songwriter who has proven himself as the hottest new artist Latin music has seen in years. Royce was nominated for a 2010 Latin Grammy (for Best Contemporary Tropical Album), won three 2011 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards; four 2011 Latin Billboard Awards and four 2011 Premios Juventud Awards. Royce was also nominated for a 2011 Latin Grammy for "Best Urban Song" alongside Daddy Yankee for their song "Ven Conmigo" and just last week received five 2012 Premio Lo Nuestro nominations. He recently recorded the bachata version of “El Verdadero Amor Perdona” with Maná and the track is currently #1 song on US Latin radio for the second consecutive week.
Via a joint venture between Top Stop Music and Atlantic Records, Royce has entered into an exclusive, long-term, worldwide recording deal with Atlantic Records for all future English and Spanish albums. Top Stop Music is an independent boutique record label and management firm founded by Gregory Elias and Sergio George.
Royce is currently putting the finishing touches on his next musical production. His highly anticipated sophomore bachata album will be released in April and an English-language pop album will go on sale a few months later.Billboard magazine’s Year End Issue’s Latin Charts illustrate the success story of Latin music’s biggest breakthrough artist in years, 22-year old singer-songwriter Prince Royce, who topped 11 Billboard Year End Latin Charts: #1 Top Latin Album, #1 Top Latin Artist- Male, #1 Top Latin Album Artist...
