Javier Alvarez released his first album in 1994, drawing influence from such pop greats as ABBA and Michael Jackson. His sound soon became more radical, and after the release of two increasingly controversial albums, Alvarez was dropped from EMI records. He then set out to record an unexpected greatest hits album of covers of number one hits from globally respected artists. He has since toned down his sound, inserting more sensitivity and poetry into his pop sound.
