Performer: Selena
Artist: Alvaro Torres Producer: Guillermo J. Page Distributor: EMI Music Distribution Notes: Recorded between 1990 & 1995. Essentially an upgrade of 1999's ALL MY HITS: TODOS MIS EXITOS, 2002's ONES features many of Selena's best-known singles from the earlier collection, adding a few collaborations and alternate versions to the mix. Murdered by the president of her own fan club in 1995, Selena already had a huge following at the time of her death, and this collection provides plenty of evidence for her popularity, including the tracks "Como La Flor" and "Dreaming of You," which respectively reveal the Texan singer's talents for performing Latin-tinged pop in both Spanish and English. Other highlights of ONES include "Buenos Amigos," Selena's emotive duet with Salvadoran crooner Alvaro Torres, and "Donde Quiera Que Estes," her lively, dance-oriented track with the Barrio Boyzz, arguably making this set the best single-disc overview of the beloved artist's all-too-brief career.
The queen of Mexican pop music from the 1980s until her death in 1995, Selena Quintanilla had roots in the Tejano music of her native Mexico, but did more than anyone to introduce the Mexican pop scene into the worldwide mainstream with a sound equally influenced by dance music, R&B, and '80s pop/rock. Selena was recording her first English-language album and was on the verge of a huge international breakthrough when she was murdered at the age of 23 by the crazed president of her fan club. In a tragic irony, that album raced to Number One and Selena achieved posthumous iconic status. Two years later, the biopic SELENA was released, with Jennifer Lopez in the title role.
