A Mucha Honra is the twentieth studio album by Mexican singer and actress Thalía. It was released on April 26, 2024, under the Sony Music Latin label.[1][2]
The album consists of 9 tracks and explores the Mexican regional genre, featuring various collaborations with artists such as Ángela Aguilar, Grupo Firme, and Estilo Sin Límite.[3] It was co-produced by Thalía along with Jimmy Humilde and Edgar Rodríguez.
The album's title refers to her song "María la del Barrio" from 1995, which served as the theme song for the eponymous telenovela starring Thalía and Fernando Colunga.
Background
[edit]In 1997, Thalía released "Amor a la Mexicana," her first song to incorporate a mix of Mexican regional music with pop. In an interview with Billboard Español, the artist pointed to this song as one of the reasons for recording this album.
"For me, singing about Mexico and singing the styles of our music has been a constant in my discography. If you look for songs, videos, and hits by Thalía that have a regional or Mexican sound, there are many songs, many projects, and the classic of my entire career is 'Amor a la Mexicana'," said the artist.
For this album, a new version of the song was recorded, which Thalía considered one of the best of the several she has had.[4]
The album was first announced at the Billboard Latin Music Week 2023. Thalía attended the 2nd day of the event in an exclusive Premiere Party and, during the interview, also revealed the titles of other tracks from the album.[5]
The album cover art was revealed during the artist's appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on February 15, 2024.[6]
