Espejos del Alma is the fifteenth studio album by Mexican singer Yuri. It was released on September 12, 1995, through Sony Music Latin and Columbia Records. It was produced by Alejandro Zepeda and Carlos Murguía. The album was not as successful as her previous records, due to the personal and professional struggles at the time.
History[edit]
In February 1995, Yuri attended the 1995 Viña del Mar International Song Festival, where she met with Rodrigo Espinosa, vocalist of the Chilean group Aleste, with whom she would later marry. At that time, the rhythm of work devastated the singer's health, and when she began to record the album, she was diagnosed with cancer on her vocal cords, but it was treated and healed. During this time, she declared that promiscuity was a principal part of her sexual life and alcohol. Due to this, she had a breakdown and tried to kill herself; this situation made her leave Catholicism and become a Christian.[1]
Singles and commercial performance[edit]
The first single, "De qué te vale fingir" was another hit, topping the charts in Mexico and Panama.[2] However, due to Yuri's conversion to Evangelicalism, the record label didn't provide enough promotion to the album, becoming one of Yuri's least successful albums to date.
