2008 studio album by Yolandita Monge
Mala studio album by Puerto Rican singer Yolandita Monge released by Universal Music Latino after the acquisition of Univision Music . This album was released on November 25, 2008, and follows the same musical and lyrical style as Demasiado Fuerte and was produced once again by José Luis Pagán.
Puerto Rican singer Yolandita Monge has been releasing albums regularly since the 1970s, moving steadily toward a sleek, commercially friendly Latin pop sound. This goal is fully realized on this album, but as both the title and the forbidding cover imply (the cover art features a dramatic close-up of Monge's mascara-smeared eyes), there is something darker here. Indeed, the songs are mournful and moody, even on the uptempo, cabaret-style title track. For long-time fans, there's no shortage of Monge's usual flair for pop hooks and excellent dramatic delivery.
The album is available as a digital download at iTunes and Amazon.
Reception
The album achieved commercial success in Puerto Rico and some Latin America countries. A highly stylized music video for the track Mala was filmed and it is also available to download at iTunes.
