Dulce Tentación (Sweet Temptation) is the seventh 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 (Mi Rey Music) and is also her first in three years.
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 (Marilyn Manson, Duran Duran and Daddy Yankee), Cynthia M. Camacho, Francisco Gil (Fey's Brother) 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."
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.
Fey 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.
