Tajo Abierto ("Sliced Open" in English) is the third studio album by Chilean-American singer-songwriter Francisca Valenzuela. The album will be released on September 9, 2014, physically in Chile, the United States, Mexico and Spain, and digitally worldwide. The album features 10 Spanish-language songs and 1 English song.[1]
Production and writing process
The pre-production stages for "Tajo Abierto" began at the end of 2012, when Valenzuela began composing new material. Unlike her previous albums which were produced and recorded in Santiago, Chile, she relocated to Los Angeles, California to work on demos at her home and meet with producers in early 2013. This is her first album recorded outside of Chile. Valenzuela recorded the album with the help of four producers: Vicente Sanfuentes, Jesse Rogg, Dave Sitek and Áureo Baqueiro. Musically, the album is a departure from Valenzuela's earlier jazz and folk influenced sound. She remarked that the writing and production of the album allowed her to explore other genres and leave her comfort zone. She wrote and composed 25 songs for the album and chose 11 for the final track listing.[2] [3] The entire album was recorded in various home recording studios in Los Angeles, with the exception of one song, "Cuequita del corazón", which Valenzuela recorded in Santiago, Chile with her band and a string quartet at Estudios del Sur. After writing "Cuequita del corazón", Valenzuela remarked that she knew she had to record it immediately with her band in Santiago. [4]
Singles
The album's first single, "Prenderemos fuego al cielo", was released on iTunes worldwide on July 15, 2014. It debuted at #2 on iTunes in Chile. It was also a commercial success, debuting at #9 on Chilean Singles Charts and is her fourth top 10 charting single. A lyric video and music video for the single were also released via her official Vevo channel in July 2014. [5]
Promotion
To promote her upcoming album, Valenzuela played Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago's famous Grant Park on August 1, 2014. She also performed in Oakland and Los Angeles, California later that same month. A mini tour throughout Spain is scheduled for early September 2014 and she will debut the album in Mexico City on September 25, 2014. A tour in Chile is also slated for November 2014.[6] [7] [8]
Release
The album was available worldwide for digital pre-order on iTunes on August 26, 2014. It was the #2 album on iTunes in Chile within hours of its pre-order announcement. The song, Siempre Eres Tú, was given as a free download for pre-ordering the album on iTunes.
