Indispensable is the nineteenth studio album by Mexican singer Lucero. The album was released on 21 September 2010 in the United States and Mexico. The first single from the album, "Dueña de tu Amor" (Eng: Owner of your love), is part of the soundtrack of the #1 telenovela in Univision Soy tu dueña. This album is considered her comeback after 4 years since her last studio album Quiéreme Tal Como Soy.
After 4 years of absence from the music world, Lucero returned with "Indispensable", under record label Siente Music and Universal Music on 21 September 2010.
In this production, Lucero takes risks and gets a CD in which we find the privacy of their ballads and rhythmic themes very strong, surprising even more in her new facet as a composer and producer.Lucero, who was in the middle of the recordings of the internationally telenovela Soy tu dueña, helped in the composition of the songs included in this long-awaited production, which also co-produced with Cesar Lemos and Ric Wake. The latter is highly sought because of his works with Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston, and also collaborated in her 2000 studio album Mi Destino.
At the time of its release, Indispensable has received generally mixed reviews from critics; for example critic John Witzgall from Allmusic.com states that "the tracks start off with an intro of highly processed sounds, which are actually sort of appealing. The mixing is also pretty stellar", however he felt that her "production style is simply boring, rather than outright laughable". The songs Esta Vez la Primera Soy Yo, Eres Todo and Ahora Estoy Sin Tí were labeled an "AMG Track Pick". Michael Quaid, En El Show from Mexico, compares her to Dulce María, and he thinks the album is very synthesized and robotic for her voice, and "dangerously juvenile" for a consolidated singer like her, where "she must put her vocal talents in the hands of great composers and leave this kind of rhythms to disposable bushleague artists". The critic Manuel Diaz from El Nuevo Herald stated that "Indispensable is a dizzying musical album with gripping lyrics", where he highlighted that the album is "too young, too disco" for her audience.
