Sin Frenos (Without Brakes) is the fourth and final studio album release from Spanish music duo, La Quinta Estación. The album received the Grammy Award for "Best Latin Pop Album" in 2010.
During the summer of 2008, the release of the fourth studio album was set for October. Throughout the end of 2008, rumors circulated of a break-up of the then three members of La Quinta Estación, but were denied by the group's vocalist Natalia Jiménez. In December the release of the CD was confirmed for March 2009, along with the confirmation that long-time member Pablo Domínguez (guitar and bass) would leave the group to join a completely new group named Siete Horas. The remaining two members continued as Sin Frenos, releasing their first single as a duo from their new CD, Que te Quería on January 5, 2009. They later released very effect full music video on January 21. Natalia Jiménez described the new CD as a little different still retaining their Pop/Rock style, but having half the tracks be more rockish and less gloomy and the other half a more Latin Mexican sound. The CD included 12 songs, half from Ángel Reyero (guitar) and half from Natalia Jiménez. Four songs: Que Te Quería, Mis Labios Por Tus Piernas, Esta Noche No, and Sin Salida were produced by Tom Lord Alge. The CD contains a duet with Marc Anthony called Recuérdame. iTunes included an extra track for those who pre-ordered the CD: a mariachi entitled Es Cierto. The album received a 2009 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Pop Album by a Duo/Group with Vocals.
