Background and production

Originally released in Mexico as a double album featuring one disc in English and a second in Spanish, Vertigo became the fourth full-length record by Latin pop artist Fey. It was produced in England and the U.S. by Graeme Pleeth and Robert Jazayeri. Anticipated following the release of the Sé Lo Que Vendrá single, Vertigo achieved gold status in Mexico after selling 75,000 copies in two weeks.

Singles

The album spawned two official singles released over a period of 7 months. The first, "The Other Side", was released in April 2002 to critical acclaim and a successful run on many Latin charts. It is deemed as Fey's comeback single, peaking in the top ten in countries like Argentina, Mexico and Colombia. In late Autumn, the song "Dressing To Kill" was released as the 2nd single. "Romeo & Juliet" was released instead on February 7, 2003 as promo single in Colombia.
