[edit] The Title

Before the album's release, Ginger announced that its title, Valor Del Corazon, was Spanish for "strength of heart". On his website, he comments on what appears to be a grammatical error:

"I have Spanish and Mexican friends and I obviously asked them for the correct way of translating that title literally. They all told me that the proper way to say it is Valor DE Corazon. Thing is, I woke up one morning with the title right in my face, and while I know it isn't text book Spanish, I was getting tons of spiritual information, divine support and genuine paranormal weirdness around me. So much so that I took it for granted that this was completely natural within the whole 'fixing yourself' process. Anyway, I wasn't going to argue with an album title given to me from sources beyond my surroundings. So, as illiterate as it may read to my Spanish speaking fans I stuck with it!"
