Lunada is the tenth studio album by Mexican pop singer Thalía. It was released through EMI Music on June 24, 2008 in North America. International releases will follow in July in Germany, Greece, Japan, and Spain, among others. Lunada is Thalía's first album since the release of El Sexto Sentido in 2005 and since the birth of her daughter Sabrina. The new record, Lunada, produced by Emilio Estefan, includes 11 summer songs with some "cover" versions amongst them. This album is of the tropical rhythms, reggae, ballads and includes also a song written by Thalía, "Bendita" dedicated to her baby daughter Sabrina Sakaë. We can also find the Spanish language cover version of Italian hit "Sará perché ti amo" (in Spanish, Será Porque Te Amo), performed originally by famous group Ricchi e Poveri. The album managed to reach the Top 10 on the U.S. Billboard Top Latin Albums ranking on its debut week and after the third week the album flop out from the Top Latin Albums making this album a big failure and deception from the Label.
Entertainment shows from all over Latin America were allowed to visit the video shoot for Thalia's first single "Ten Paciencia", including E! (Latin America) and Univision.
Thalia promoted the album by performing at Premios Juventud where she received the made up for the show only: Diva Award. Thalia also promoted the album at the Cristina show which garnered the highest audience viewing ratings across North and Latin America on that time slot.[citation needed] Thalia is also preparing a big tour around the world (Latin America, United States and Europe).
The second single "Será Porque Te Amo" was released only in Latin America.
Commercial failure and Departure from EMI
"Lunada" was the last album released by EMI Music. Thalia’s last album was a major disappointment, for which lack of marketing coupled with the fact that she was just returning from maternity leave and other complications with her health were to blame.
On November 18, 2008, the singer announced that her contract with EMI had ended. Thalia recognized that her latest release wasn't successful due to the lack of promotion and some personal problems as her illness from lyme disease. Despite it's commercial failure, Thalia stated that she's proud of this album saying that the production and the quality of Lunada was excellent.
After 13 successful years under the label of EMI Music (Thalia recorded 12 albums and accomplished sales over 20 millions of copies) Thalia moves to Casablanca Records ( part of Universal Music Group) in order to release her next project which will be in English and will include a duet with Robbie Williams[1].
- Despite Lunada was a commercial dissapointment, named as the "Best Album of the Year" by ¡Hola! readers[2]. The latest work of the Mexican singer achieved 8,750 votes beating arists like Luis Miguel, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Madonna.[3].
History
The singer described her new production as the most sincere of her music career. Lunada was made to become the soundtrack of the summer. According to Thalia, "Sangre Caliente" is the song that best describes the whole spirit of the album. Thalia told about her new album: "This disc came along when I was very pregnant with my daughter, I was almost eight months along. I had had it, and the only thing I could think about were bikinis, suntan lotion, beer and the beach. So I began to think to myself, 'Hey! What was that song I liked last summer in Argentina? 'Sangre Caliente' ("Hot blood")! And when I went with my friends to (the Mexican beach resort of) Ixtapa, which one was it? That's right! The one by Juan Gabriel!' ... That's how 'Lunada' was born."
Controversy
The cover art to Lunada was compared to that of Australian band Cut Copy's album Bright Like Neon Love. Both show strong similarities, including the same color to the face, similar glasses and lipstick color and overall appearance. To this, Thalia responded that this was "what had been presented to [her] by her creative group and that she hoped her work would inspire others in the future as well."[citation needed]
