In the global Latin market, Thalía is a multimillion-selling artist. Her last studio album (also titled “Thalía”) topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums charts. “Thalía’s Hits Remixed” currently sits comfortably on both the Top Electronic Albums and Latin Pop Albums charts. Now, along comes her official bid for mass
domination. (Think Jennifer Lopez!) “Thalía” is the singer’s first album of English material, and the first single—the ultra-breezy and oh-so-hooky “I Want You” (featuring Fat Joe)—is off to a great start at radio. Infectious jams are the norm here, with “Baby, I’m in Love” (co-penned by former Billboard staffer Kara DioGuardi and produced by Ric Wake) and the dancefloor-ready “Don’t Look Back” leading the way. Also included is an English version of the ultra bubbly “Tu y Yo,” which was a massive hit for the singer in its original Spanish-language version.—MP
