Nearly three decades ago, Selena Quintanilla’s life ended tragically just as her success in the American mainstream began to flare up.
Now, 27 years later, The Quintanilla Family and Warner Music Latina will be releasing a new album by the Tejano singer. The Estate has revealed a regional remastered version of “Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti” – the first single from Selena’s upcoming 13-song album, “Moonchild Mixes,” which will be released on August 26.
“Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti” has been re-released once before, making this the third version of the song that was originally recorded in 1987. The song was written by Ricky Villa, who was an original member of Selena y Los Dinos and produced by Selena’s brother, AB Quintanilla.
From the new album, AB . said News letters That “everything was recorded on vinyl. So we had to combine old school ways with new school ways. Clean up Selena’s vocals, set her timing. And then we also lowered her vocals by just one hair to make her voice a little more mature.”
According to the family, the majority of the album’s songs were recorded when Selena was between 13 and 16 years old. In a process that took more than a year to complete, AB says it has digitally altered the music to portray the vocals and overall voice as accurately as possible. The new album will include 10 never-before-seen songs and three new tracks that were previously released.
“I really feel like she went to the studio again and recorded it,” Selena’s sister, Suzette Quintanilla, said in an interview with ABC News. “It’s incredible.”
The siblings also discussed the fuel for the new album after his death, citing the fact that they wanted to “breathe new life into this old music and have it create new for the new generation.”
“The younger generation is discovering her and looking for her and they want to know more about her,” Suzette said of her sister.
Quintanilla was among the best-selling artists of the 1990s before she was shot and killed on March 31, 1995. She was 23 years old.
In response to a question about exploiting the albums after her death, AB and Suzette said they thought their sister would have loved the new album. “What we do is honor her memory and legacy. AB said.
“As an artist, musician, and people in the public eye, you have to stop that. We still do what we want with our music, with our sister, with our band,” Suzette added. “And I hope people understand that everything we do, we do with loving care and beauty.”
On July 25, the estate also released Official music video for her single “Tú, Sólo Tú” by Ranchera in 1995 as part of the new album’s release.
