[edit] Album information

During the first worldwide "RBD Day" press conference, on October 4, 2007, RBD confirmed the name of the album and announced it would had it's release on November. Later it was confirmed that it was going to be released on November 20, 2007.

Empezar Desde Cero produced by Carlos Lara includes more self-written songs and solo parts than before, some having full solo songs on it. On the previous albums, it was Christopher and Alfonso who were lacking in solo-tracks, now both have written their tracks wich are featured on the album. "Sueles Volver", composed by Christopher and "Si No Estás Aquí", written by Alfonso. A demo version of the first leaked onto internet on May 2007, even before the album was announced. Maite's solo song "Tal Vez Mañana", which also leaked along with "Sueles Volver", is not included on the standard album.

Wal-Mart released the official tracklist, while OpenDisc released a similar track listing with three songs having altered names behind the original.

In Wal-Mart stores, there is an enhanced album which features a bonus DVD entitled Así Es RBD. [1] The bonus DVD features a one hour never before seen footage, videos, soap scenes and performances.

The first single promoting the record is "Inalcanzable" a beautiful song written by Carlos Lara, which was released to radio stations on October 8, 2007. On January 29, 2008, Esmas announced the second single was "Empezar Desde Cero", after being chosen by fans trough an online poll on the group's official website. [2] Meanwhile, in Colombia, "El Mundo Detrás" was released as a single, and reached the Top 5 Charts, while "No Digas Nada" was chosen the second single for Brazil and reached the Top 10 in many radio stations. Esmas announced that the song "Y No Puedo Olvidarte" is RBD's third single of the album "Empezar Desde Cero", which was released to radio stations on June 5, 2008.

The brazilian version of the album will include six songs of "Empezar Desde Cero" in portuguese, and five unreleased songs.

On June 17th, RBD will release the Empezar Desde Cero Fan Edition to Mexico. It is a CD + DVD. The CD will be much like the original, but will also include 3 new tracks. Te daria todo sung by Dulce Maria, Tal vez mañana sung by Maite Perroni, and Elige Estar Bien sung by the entire group of RBD except for Maite who was too busy to record at the time, + Kudai and Eiza Gonzales. There will also be Karaoke songs included on the disc. This is RBD's first official release of karaoke songs. The DVD is said to include some if not all of RBD's music videos and maybe some unknown extras as well. No word yet on when it will be released to other countries but Mexico.
