Discography

Her record label is Sony Bmg Spain and her debut album "Edurne", whose first single is "Despierta", was released on 2006. "Edurne" is Edurne's debut album, and has 12 tracks. It mixes many different rhythms and styles, including "Amores Dormidos", a song composed for Edurne by the popular Spanish pop group La Oreja De Van Gogh. In the re-release of the Edurne's debut album included "Te Falta Veneno", the theme song for "Yo Soy Bea" (Spanish adaptation of the Colombian soap opera "Betty La Fea" aired by Telecinco) and 2 remixes from her debut single "Despierta". Also, Edurne recorded "Don't Tell Me Tonight", a duet with the Iranian singer Cameron Cartio for his album "Borderless".

Edurne's second album is called "Ilusión", and it was released on June 19 anticipated by the single "Ven por mi", a cover of Sita's "Come With Me". "Ilusión" includes the track "Fue para los dos", a Spanish-language adaptation of a song originally written in English by Hanne Sørvaag and Harry Sommerdahl under the title "Brief and Beautiful"; this English version was also recorded by Norwegian artist Maria Arredondo and released as a single in 2007.

In 2008, Edurne released an album of songs from musicals called Premiere. The first single is a Spanish version of the Queen song "Somebody to Love". The album has received good reviews from the Spanish press. The reason of doing an album of songs from musicals is that Edurne is working in the musical Grease in Spain, acting as Sandy. Edurne released a new album on March 23, 2010 named Nueva Piel. The first single of the album is called "Soy Como Soy (Girls Will Be Girls)" and it is available to listen on Edurne's official website and MySpace.
