Dulce Tentación


Dulce Tentación is the sixth studio album by Mexican pop/dance singer Fey. It was officially released on May 5, 2009. This is her first and only album by far to be released on an independent label and is also her first in three years.

Album production

Fey calls the album "sensual, powerful and different; that's exactly the way I see women at this moment." The sound of the album itself follows the electronic and rhythmic influences of her previous albums. The singer also cited glam rock as an inspiration for the songs and the promotional work used to promote the album. This "glam rock" look is also a part of the look she now uses.
Sam "Fish" Fisher, Cynthia M. Camacho, Francisco Gil and Fey herself worked as writers and composers on the album. It also includes a song which is an outtake from Tierna La Noche, produced by José Ramón Flores, as well as an outtake from Vértigo called "In Your Dreams."

Album art

The cover for "Dulce Tentación" was again designed by Fey's longtime friend Sergio Toporek, who previously designed her Tierna La Noche and El Color de los Sueños albums. "Dulce Tentación" has two alternative covers.

Promotion and reception

began to distribute her new material via the internet after it was announced that she was in the process of recording a new album through an independent record label. "Cicatrices" was the first track leaked, which was available for download on Fey's official website at the end of 2008. On January 23, 2009, an unedited version of "Lentamente" track was uploaded to YouTube with previews of additional songs on the upcoming album. On April 21, the complete album leaked onto the internet.
Fey began promotion in Europe in the beginning of 2009 with plans to tour the USA.
The album debuted at number 24 in the official AMPROFON Mexican Top 100 chart, climbing as high as number 2 that same week in the prime Mexican music store Mixup's Spanish albums top ten. In the United States, Dulce Tentación reached the top position in the Latin Pop section of the USA's iTunes, as well as the top five of the overall iTunes Latin department.
On the week ending May 17, 2009, Dulce Tentación reached #8 on the AMPROFON top 10, and reached #5 the following week. That same week, "Lentamente" entered the top five of Exa FM and Los 40 Principales, two of the most important pop stations of Mexico. "Lentamente" became her first #1 hit since "La Fuerza Del Destino", after it reached the top of the Airplay Charts. It also reached #10 in the overall Latin American singles chart.
In the first month of release, the album sold 50,000 copies in Mexico alone. The album is yet to be released world wide.
A review by U.S. Latino newspaper La Vibra praised the album, claiming the singer is one of the few Latin artists to keep up with her American and European contemporaries. The review also praises Fey's ability to reinvent herself as a progressive pop artist.
"Provócame", the second official single from the album, has already begun to play in heavy rotation on Mexican radio stations, reaching high positions in online popularity rankings, including #2 on OYE's Hot Parade.
A remixed version of Dulce Tentación was under production and was to be titled "Dulce Tentacion: The Remixes". The project was slated as Fey began work on her next studio album.

The album contains 11 songs in Spanish plus one bonus remix of "Cicatrices".
