Released

On the cover of 2003’s , Julieta Venegas wears a wedding dress and smiles shyly at the viewer before a bright pink background. The songs move away from the sonically omnivorous indie-rock of her previous release, 2000’s Bueninvento, embracing big hooks, genial synth lines, layered female backing vocals (which she sings herself) and very little accordion, though it is present on the mostly acoustic first single, “Andar Conmigo.” By contrast, “A Tu Lado” has a New Wave strut, and “Lo Que Pidas” features a zapping synth line and a trip-hop-ish beat. There’s literally a song here called “Algo Está Cambiando” (“Something is Changing”), and if she was saying “yes” to success, she certainly achieved it. The album, which she co-wrote and co-produced with Argentinian pop-rock figures Cachorro López and Coti Sorokin, won a Latin Grammy and was nominated for an English-language Grammy for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album. It also sold almost four million copies.
