AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Julieta Venegas


Artist:Julieta Venegas f/Anita Tijoux

Song:Eres Para Mi

Album:Realmente Lo Mejor


Julieta Venegas started out as a popular rock singer in the late 90s and then went in a more pop direction and became one of the most popular singers in Mexico. The 2006 single Eres Para Mi is one of her biggest hits from her biggest selling album Limon y Sal. She was born Nov. 24, 1970 in Long Beach, CA but she grew up in Tijuana, Mexico. Her parents are photographers and so is her sister. Julieta studied piano as a child. She also plays guitar and accordion. And she's a songwriter. She was in the successful ska band Tijuana No!. Julieta moved to Mexico City and formed the band La Milagrosa. But when BMG offered her a record deal, she decided to record as a solo artist. Her 1997 debut album Aqui was produced in Los Angeles by Argentine producer Gustavo Santaolalla. She was a rock singer at first and she had some success. With the 2003 album Si, Julieta went in a more pop direction with Argentine producers Cachorro Lopez and Coti Sorokin. The album was certified 2XPlatinum and the single Alga Esta Canbiando topped the Latin Pop chart. The success continued with the 2006 album Limon y Sal also produced by Lopez. The album was a big success in Latin American countries outside Mexico. The album was certified Platinum. Eres Para Mi featuring Chilean rapper Anita Tijoux reached #2 on the Latin Pop chart. Julieta's next album was MTV Unplugged which was also very successful. That's probably the height of her success. This comp is available as a digital download. Limon y Sal is available on CD. Julieta took time off to have a child. And she moved to Argentina. She left Sony in 2013 and has recorded a couple of albums for smaller labels. It looks like she has a new album coming as the 2021 single Lo siento BB:/ was a big hit. But that may be because Bad Bunny appeared on it and he's pretty hot right now. Here's the video for Eres Para Mi by Julieta Venegas featuring Anita Tijoux.
