Los ojos del gato (Cat's eyes) is the second studio album of the Spanish female singer-songrwriter Luz Casal released in 1984 under the record label Zafiro, two years after her debut album. This album was recorded in Madrid, Brussels and Bonn[1] and consists of nine tracks, the most of them written by herself and by other collaborators such as Ramoncín and other performers such as Hilario Camacho. Just like in her previous release, Carlos Narea was the executive production of this album.

Style

In regards to the musical style of this release, this album follows the same line of her previous one with rock and hard rock tracks. Anyway, many critics say that this album has a more mature and darker sound compared to her previous record, a more innovative and sober production and deeper lyrics.[2] In an auto-interview for RTVE with herself and her proudcers, the singer admitted that the tracks in the album had a wider relation between each other.[3] Although rock music clearly dominates in this album, there are some different songs such as the ballad "Te espero" (I wait for you), which combines electronic elements with guitars and a softer instrumentation.

Four tracks from this album were released as maxi singles: The first one of them was the title track "Los ojos del gato" (Cat's eyes[4]) and the following two singles were "Detrás de tu mirada / Te espero" (Behind your glance[5] / I wait for you[6]) and "Secreto" (Secret[7]). Those singles came out few months before the release of the album and in fact, Luz Casal was invited to perform some of her tracks in some RTVE shows.
