“Te Va a Doler” (with Grupo Firme)

“Te Va a Doler” is a song that despite being regional [Mexican], has a miniature bit little bit of both worlds. It has a miniature bit more of the Thalia universe, of my musical and interpretative model, nonetheless it level-headed has the facility and sonority of the brand new regional Mexican. For bigger than a year we now had been talking with Eduin Caz [of Grupo Firme] about doing something, about working together, and for me this song was the appropriate ring for this union. In truth that our styles merged neatly, his instruct sounds very extremely effective in this memoir, and it was spectacular.

From the an identical song, “Te Va a Doler,” a more electronic model was finished with Deorro, who since I heard his work I preferred it, so I stated: “It’s a long way critical to create something for me.” I address Deorro’s work, and he did the remix model of this song.

“Amor a la Mexicana”

It’s the appropriate circle of why I’m singing regional good now. For me, singing to Mexico and singing within the sorts of our musical [heritage] has been a constant in my discography. Ought to you stare for songs, videos and hits by Thalia which contain a regional or Mexican sound, there are a complete bunch, and the classic of my complete occupation is “Amor a la Mexicana.” So, it can presumably well well now not be lacking in this album known as A Mucha Honra. I in point of fact feel honored to be Mexican, to contain an even time what goes on with culture, with tune globally today. And what bigger than with the icing on the cake, which is to swear a new model of “Amor a la Mexicana”, which in point of fact grew to turn out to be out spectacular. Undoubtedly, it is miles one in every of my easiest versions of “Amor a la Mexicana.”

“Troca” (with Ángela Aguilar)

It’s a long way a song that has such shapely lyrics, so pure, so easy, so great address, that I needed. It resonated with me to swear something with shapely, with composed lyrics of address. It made me in point of fact feel good to suppose these words and these lyrics. It was also a gargantuan opportunity to bring together two generations, two Mexicans, singing today. I in point of fact feel that our voices got here together very cool, and very velvety, fancy a cozy blanket round you. And that makes me very pleased in negate to negate how cool it is miles that two Mexicans from tons of generations coexist in a address song.

We made an bright video which is also something new and tons of for me. It’s huge gorgeous.

“Choro” (with Estilo Sin Límite)

“Choro” aspects Dania from Estilo Sin Límite, an rising artist who has unbelievable skills, and is a gargantuan songwriter with a extremely particular instruct. When I heard her, I stated, “Let’s create the song, let’s work”, and we recorded “Choro.” The interpretation is huge cool. I in point of fact feel a duty, of anyone who has already strategy an effective way [in my career] to lengthen a hand and toughen new abilities.

[Choro] is a extremely Mexican factor to negate. I idea it was an even title, an even idea for a song. Later it made me laugh resulting from in tons of international locations it has tons of connotations.

“Para Qué Celarme”

I wager it’s my favourite of the album. The arrangements are nostalgic, it does something to my heart. I address the lyrics, the memoir is so superior, and it permits me as an actress to swear it and catch into personality. And that’s what I address roughly this song. It’s a ballad with pleasure, with power. It rings a bell in my memory a miniature bit little bit of that song of mine, “Equivocada,” within the topic topic. My fans likes to see the party Thalia, the Thalia who sings irreverent songs, dance songs, nonetheless also the romantic one, the one who sings songs of broken hearts, and intense ballads. Right here’s the ballad of this album.
