Revelación Celebrates Gomez's Latin Heritage
Revelación Celebrates Gomez's Latin Heritage
The former Disney star's first Spanish album was a passion project recorded from home
Revelación is Selena Gomez’s 4th EP, released March 12, 2021, and her first Spanish language release According to Gomez, the pop star has felt drawn toward the idea of creating a music project in Spanish for more than 10 years, adding that Latin music seems to “globally just make people feel things.”
Apparently it made critics and listeners alike "feel things," boasting the best Metacritic score of any of Gomez’s projects at 83/100, featuring multiple songs reaching top 30 on Billboard Latin charts, and debuting at 22 on the Billboard 200. Critics praise the reggaeton grooves and her smooth Spanish vocals, which word to set this EP apart from her previous works.
Notably, Revelación was recorded mostly remotely in a home studio just after the COVID-19 lockdowns began. In fact, like many remote workers over the past few months, those involved in the creation of the album communicated over Zoom. And while Gomez has Mexican heritage, she had to work to make sure she was up to the challenge of recording an album in Spanishl. In fact, the former Disney star hired a language coach to help her with her Spanish vocabulary, accent, and slang to make the EP as authentic as possible- and critics and listeners alike agree that this hard work certainly paid off.
