With “Un Mechón,” Tini opens the pages of her diary to tell a story about resilience and renewal and also serves as a tribute to her love and admiration for her father, who was dealing with health scares at the time of the album’s conception.
“Taking my time to release this very intimate project was important in allowing me to express all the feelings and emotions I was bottling up,” said Tini. “I am extremely excited to share this album. I hope that in some way it can accompany listeners through their dark moments and encourage them to share their truths when the time is right, because in the end…that’s what life is all about, and it’s never too late.”
In the lead-up to the album release, Tini released three singles and music videos: “Pa,” recounting the moment Tini nearly lost her father; an upbeat electronic anthem called “Posta;” and then “Buenos Aires,” a song backed by acoustic guitar — a new sound for the singer, whose last LP leaned more reggaeton.
Tini is nominated for best album in pop for “Cupido” at the 2024 Latin American Music Awards. The project amassed over 5 billion streams worldwide and debuted in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Latin Pop Albums Chart.
