In an unexpected turn that shook the urban and alternative music scene, Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso announced a pause in their joint career.

Through an official statement, the artists confirmed the suspension, until further notice, of the release of their upcoming album titled Top of the Hills and the tour that would accompany it.

“It took us "It's time to acknowledge it, but we need to rest and heal," they said in the statement. "We intend to return when we are ready. Thank you." The decision comes at the peak of their career. Just weeks after their triumph at the 2025 Latin Grammys, where the Argentine duo took home five awards in categories such as Best Alternative Music Album and Best Pop Song, the artists confessed that their meteoric rise to fame took a toll on their personal and creative well-being. In a statement shared with their fans, the Argentinians explained that they were overwhelmed by media exposure, constant pressure, and the accelerated pace of their recent success. Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso honestly acknowledged that the demands of their environment led them to make "wrong and hasty" decisions. The news surprised their fans, especially after the viral success of their Tiny Desk performance and their consolidation as leading figures in the Latin music avant-garde. However, the duo emphatically apologized for canceling their engagements, thanking their audience for their unconditional support "even when they get lost."

Without a set date for their return, Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso closed the message with a promise of coming back: “We hope to return when we are ready.”
