Reception

Yolandita Monge, is coming more "Mala" than ever with her new single. A woman gets tired at some point of the injustices of men, and Yolandita is no exception. In the first single, "Mala", which gives its name to her latest album, Yolandita reminds us that you will pay it if you play with the heart of a woman. "Mala", comes with 10 songs produced by José Luis Pagán. Yolandita Monge is one of the most important voices of Latin America and returns to shine once more with this new project. This album comes with songs by prominent writers; such as, José Luis Pagán, Maria Isabel Saavedra, Jorge Luis Piloto, Yoel Henriquez, and Alexis Grullon among others. The sale of her records has been one of his most noted victories and no doubt with "Mala" she'll triumph once again.[1]

Background

In this new album, Yolandita Monge is back with her old image and long blond hair. But this time, comes back much more harsh than before. It is said that this album will be better accepted than the previous one, "Demasiado Fuerte", and that will be the official return to the stage of this wonderful singer.[2]

In addition, at her Facebook website, there is a public image never seen before where Yolandita is seen promoting her coming tour "Mala... in Concert 2009", which allegedly will be the continuation of the concerts of her past, "Demasiado Fuerte Tour".[2]
