We are getting new Selena music!
The family of Selena Quintanilla announced that they are releasing new music from the superstar posthumously. Her new album is called "Moonchild Mixes" and her first single "Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti" was released today, which was produced by A.B. Quintanilla, her brother. According to ABC 7, Selena's sister Suzette and brother A.B. Quintanilla said that they wanted to release new music because their sister has the ability to transcend generations.
"The younger generation are discovering her and they're searching her and they want to know more about her," Suzette said of Selena, who was the top-selling Latin artist of the 1990s and a Grammy-winning superstar before she was shot on March 31, 1995. "So that's why we felt it was really important to ... breathe new life into this old music, and have it created new for the newer generation."
A.B. said that the first single took over a year to produce due to a lot of "obstacles" they had to overcome. They also recorded everything on vinyl so with doing that they had to fuse the old ways with the new school ways. They cleaned up Selena's vocals and pitched her voice in a way to make her sound a little more mature. The full album is supposed to come out on August 26th. Head to ABC 7 for more.
"She was not just an incredible artist. She was an incredible person," Suzette reflected. "And what she means to us as Latinos, she means something and I think all of that has transcended and has carried her throughout the years and she is not going away."
