Empezar Desde Cero (To Start from Zero) is RBD's fourth studio album in Spanish, due out on November 20 2007. The album leaked onto the internet on November 8 2007.
Album information
During the first worldwide "RBD Day" press conference, on October 4, 2007, RBD confirmed the name of the album and announced it would have a November release. Later it was confirmed that it will be released on November 20, 2007. Empezar desde Cero includes more selfwritten songs and solo-parts than before, some having full solo songs on it. On the previous albums, it were Christopher and Alfonso who were lacking in solo-tracks, now both have their written tracks solo-sung featured on the album. "Sueles Volver", co-composed by Christopher and "Si No Estas Aqui", co-written by Alfonso. A demo version of the first leaked onto internet in mid-May 2007, even before the album was announced. Maite's solosong "Tal Vez Mañana", which also leaked along with "Sueles Volver" in mid-May, is not included on the standard album.
Wal-Mart released the official tracklist, while OpenDisc a similar track listing with three songs having altered names behind the original. It is believed the songs sample or cover the original English song, like on the previous albums. "Fui la Niña" supposedly samples "Being a Good Girl", "Amor Fugaz" does "Love Is All There Is" and "Let's See Where It Go" would be the original for "Extraña Sensación".[1]
In Wal-Mart stores, there is an enhanced album which features a bonus DVD entitled Así Es RBD.[2] The bonus DVD features a one hour never before seen footage, videos, soap scenes and performances.
Dulce María said in a recent interview that, in March 2008, they will release a special edition of Empezar Desde Cero, including "Te Daria Todo", a song written by herself, and "Tal Vez Manana", a song with Maite-written credits.[citation needed]
The first single promoting the record is "Inalcanzable", which was released to worldwide radio stations on October 8 2007. On January 29, 2008, Esmas announced the second single was "Empezar desde Cero", after being chosen by fans trough an online poll on the group's official website.[3]
