[edit] Album information

El Sexto Sentido is completely sung in Spanish, except for three songs in English at the end of the disc. The album contains some exquisite ballads (as "Un Alma Sentenciada" or "Olvídame"), pop rhythm songs (like "Amar Sin Ser Amada", and "Un Sueño Para Dos") and Latin dance songs (like "Seducción" and "No Me Voy a Quebrar"). She also covered "Amor Prohibido", which belongs to the fellow Latina Selena, and "24.000 Besos", an 80's Italian hit by Adriano Celentano. On the other hand, El Sexto Sentido Re+Loaded (a special version of this album) included the bachata-ballad styled song "No, No, No" featuring Anthony Romeo Santos.

El Sexto Sentido brings the well-known composer's songs and producing Estéfano. The album in general was well planned, very fact and acted with emotions. The album has also been nominated in both 2006 Latin Billboard Awards and Latin Grammy.

The album debuted at sixty-three in the Billboard Top 200 however it fell off the chart the next week.

Producer(s) Estéfano

"Amar Sin Ser Amada" is written and produced by the Colombian Estéfano and Jose Luis Pagán. The English version was written by Thalía.

Literally translated "Amar Sin Ser Amada" means "To Love without Being Loved". In the song, Thalía advises women who are "heartbroken" to leave it all behind and try not to think of their exes anymore. When she unintentionally does think about him and miss him, she has to recall the pain she's been through, so she will never go through it again. The english version didn't do it well in the english charts in USA.
