It is but is missing an universal appeal, it’s a track record but not as a single material. It did zero impact.

I was mad about how simple the production was but when I listen to it in the context of La Fuerza I get the vision and it truly is Beautiful, she sounds so vulnerable in it. I apologize for my hate on Somos Nada when it was released as a second single, I was just mad because I knew that spot should have been for Santo.

the thing with Somos Nada is that it lacked any sort of a distinguishable melody. successful ballads are the ones you can sing along to.
it high-key reminds me of Gaga's Hold My Hand.
and that's why it's easily the worst track on this project. :womanshrug:

I love all the songs but I am absolutely addicted to Sueltame and Te Deseo Lo Mejor

I hope she releases the video for Sueltame asap

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but Christina's pronunciation on this EP is much better than on La Fuerza

I agree about the melody that's why SN was never supposed to be a hit, BUT the lyrics are very emotional in combination with Christina's powerful vocals... which is why it's a great ballad IMO.

Her vocals sound like they were recorded through a plastic pipe. I cannot listen to it.

This music is so good. I said it before and some of you got pressed but I mean it. If Christina just decides to keep recording spanish music, I would fully support it. I don’t speak the language but everything sounds so pleasing to me. Top notch vocals and production.

Ugh this is becoming my truth as well... It's just something about the way she sings in Spanish !! & The producers came to PRODUCE for a legend!

Her pronunciation already was pretty good, am told, so it must be quite on a level rn. :musicwoman: Am happy she evolves and hones her skills.

Do you regularly listen to music through a plastic pipe?

It has to be the solo version because the video was shot in March and Nodal added his vocals to the song in April.

Somos Nada is exquisite 👌

Haters gonna hate. Have yall even considered that she simply loves the song? I hate LTBL but bitch includes it in 90% of her shows. Wasn't a single, horrible iPhone video but here we are, beach balls and all.

I’m obsessed with Tormenta. The 1-2-3 punch with Sueltame, brujeria and torguoto :shook:

I’m still obsessed with Brujeria. It’s become my fave song on the album… so flawless!

Can we get into the production?! It’s amazing and sleek with some nice bass. I love when songs are bass heavy. Her voice rides these beats so well.

I wish Christina had done the EPs with Bionic as there’s multiple EPs on that and they would work better separately then consolidate for a vinyl. Experimental (Birds of Prey, Bobblehead, Bionic), Commercial (Woohoo, Glam, Not Myself Tonight) and the Ballads (I Am, Lift Me Up, All I Need). The first Spanish EP was experimental, the second one was Easy Listening, Commercial Pop and I’m wondering what the overall sound will be for the third one.

Or a ballads vs uptempo EPs.

I could be wrong, but didn't she mention somewhere that Pa Mis Muchachas was one of the first songs she recorded for the sessions?


She prob got more comfortable as they recorded more/hung out more with the whole production/writing/music team

I only have a couple minor gripes with the album, like including both the solo and duet versions of cuando me dé la gana, but this is on par as some of her best work and all this 20+ years into her career.

Stellar production while tackling a variety of genres and still pop-friendly. I feel she’s even saving the best for last with La Luz.

It's true. They've put this same weird effect on her vocals on a number of songs post-Bionic. It sounds almost metallic. I first noticed it on Bland Page. More recently I think it's the most obvious on a "A Million Dreams."

Somos Nada live is beautiful.

Vocal production on AGUILERA so far is top-notch, her voice is shining as it should again on these tracks. Yas.
