She was invited to the “Refuge of Sound” project as a guest artist. Elif Sanchez released her self-titled debut album in 2021. Sanchez’s second album” MI VOZ” consisting of 11 songs, includes 7 original Javier Limon songs, 2 Spanish covers “Dos Gardenias” and “Perfidia”, “Vuelve (Kurşun Adres Sormaz Ki)” as a duet with Turkish singer Kenan Doğulu and “Amanecer (Gel Ey Seher)” in Spanish. Elif Sanchez said, “I released my first album in October 2021, where I had one Spanish song at the very end of the album. I sent it to Javier to ask for his opinion, and he loved it. He said he would love to produce the next album. After months of work, we created a beautiful album that I am so proud of. Javier wrote wonderful songs, and I sang my heart out. I visited a different part of the world with this album, but as I always do, I took my home with me; my Turkish side. We tastefully blended Spanish music with my own style. I think that’s what makes this album so special”. The first single of the album “A Veces,” with a unique interpretation by Sánchez and lyrics, music and arrangement by Javier Limón
