Mala, is the 31st studio album by Puerto Rican singer Yolandita Monge released by Universal Music Latin Entertainment after the acquisition of Univision Music Group. This album was released on November 25, 2008, and follows the same musical and lyrical style as Demasiado Fuerte and produced once again by José Luis Pagán.
Puerto Rican singer Yolandita Monge has been releasing albums regularly since the 1970s, moving steadily toward a sleek, commercially friendly Latin pop sound. This goal is fully realized on this album, but as both the title and the forbidding cover imply (the cover art features a dramatic close-up of Monge's mascara-smeared eyes), there is something darker here. Indeed, the songs are mournful and moody, even on the uptempo, cabaret-style title track. Fortunately for long-time fans, there's no shortage of Monge's usual flair for pop hooks and excellent dramatic delivery.
The album is currently available as a digital download at iTunes and Amazon.
The album achieved commercial success in Puerto Rico and some Latin America countries. A highly stylized music video for the track Mala was filmed and it is also available to download at iTunes.
A tour to promote the album will begin on April 24, 2009 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Yolandita Monge, will begin her tour in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, which will tour several countries in Latin America.
