Performer: Selena
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution Notes: Although there has been no shortage of Selena collections since the revered Texan performer's tragic death in 1995, 2007's THROUGH THE YEARS distinguishes itself by not only offering up hits ("Fotos y Recuerdos" and "Dreaming of You"), but spanning the range of the Latin pop singer's relatively short career. Of particular interest to Selena diehards will be her naive yet emotive cover of "Feelings," a version recorded before she was even in her teens.
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.
