Mirada (transl.Gaze) is the third and major-label debut studio album by the American singer-songwriter Iván Cornejo. It was released on July 19, 2024, by Interscope and Zaragoza Records, making it Cornejo's first album to be released under those labels, and his first to not be released by Manzana Records.

Background

[edit]

Mirada is Iván Cornejo's first album with Interscope Records.[1] He announced the album on June 18, 2024.[2] A trailer for the album was released in the same month, which sees Cornejo sitting in front of a bonfire, containing a background narration between him and an unknown voice.[3] Its tracklist was later revealed at the beginning of July of the same year.[4]

Composition

[edit]

Mirada is a regional Mexican album, with incorporations of alternative rock.[5] "Quiero Dormir Cansado" is a surf rock cover of Mexican singer Emmanuel's song of the same name,[6] while "Atención" is described by Cornejo as a "dance-y" track due to its time signature being at 4
4
instead of 3
4
, a common time signature used in corridos tumbados.[5]

Promotion

[edit]

"Aquí Te Espero" was released on July 27, 2023, as the lead single from Mirada.[7] "Dónde Estás" was released as the album's second single on October 12, 2023.[8] "Baby Please" was released on March 16, 2024, as the album's third single.[9] It peaked at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number eight on the US Hot Latin Songs chart.[10] He later announced, on June 18, 2024, that he would embark the album's supporting tour.[11] "Intercambio Injusto" was released on July 12, 2024, as the fourth single from the album.[12] The song was also featured in a short film published by Apple, ¡Suerte!, which stars himself, María Zardoya of the Marías and Edén Muñoz as characters of the Lotería.[13]
