[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 to date has sold more than 1,300,000 copies worldwide.

[edit] El Sexto Sentido: Re+Loaded

On February 14, 2006 Thalía re-released her El Sexto Sentido with a formal name: El Sexto Sentido Re+Loaded in Mexico (May 29 in Spain, June 6 in USA).

It contains 4 new tracks:

  • "Cantando Por Un Sueño"
  • "No, No, No" (featuring Anthony "Romeo" Santos)
  • "La Super Chica"
  • "Un Alma Sentenciada [Hex Hector Remix]"

Thalía's self-titled 2003 effort was meant to be her English-language breakthrough, with guest shots from Fat Joe and photography that resembled a Spiegel ad, or maybe a Shania album. But it was too superficial, and there was little crossover appeal in the music itself. In contrast, 2005's Sexto Sentido is sung entirely en español, but for English versions of its three singles tacked onto the end. It's a straightforward Latin pop album, with the requisite balladry (the rousing "Olvídame" really shows off her voice), bouncy hybrid pop (the bandoneón-flavored opener "Amar Sin Ser Amada"), and exuberant anthems you can imagine the entire dancefloor singing along with "Seducción," "No Me Voy a Quebrar." It also features "Amor Prohibido," Thalía's rendition of Selena's Tejano classic. (Thalía performed the song at an April 2005 concert event that remembered Selena on the ten-year anniversary of her murder.) Sexto Sentido features songwriting and production throughout from Estéfano, and Thalía vocals are buoyant, particularly on the biggest notes. "24000 Besos (24000 Baci)" is a highlight, a dizzyingly upbeat track where the catchiness isn't lost in translation. Like the majority of Sexto Sentido, it's slick and perfectly arranged and performed with gusto. The album might not be the domestic breakthrough that Thalía's been hoping for since 2003, but it's a capable Latin pop effort that will get the crowd moving or the emotions flowing depending on the track. It's sure to appeal to her diehards. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

"Loca", "Amor Prohibido" and all of the English tracks, which were songs from the original edition, were removed.
