About Corazón de Poeta

Corazón de poeta (pronounced [koɾaˈθon de poˈeta]; Spanish for "Heart of a poet") is the fourth studio album by English-born Spanish singer Jeanette, released in June 1981 on RCA Victor. After releasing an LP record in France and an unsuccessful foray into disco in Germany, Corazón de poeta was Jeanette's return to the Spanish market, as well as to the soft, sentimental ballads she had been known for. The album was almost entirely written and produced by composer Manuel Alejandro, who had written "Soy rebelde", Jeanette's 1971 breakthrough as a canción melódica singer. Corazón de poeta intended to reinvent Jeanette's childlike image into a more mature one, reflected in its erotic tone and its promotional campaign. Three singles were released from the album: the title track, "Frente a frente" and "El muchacho de los ojos tristes", with the former two becoming hits and aiding Jeanette's resurgent popularity in the Spanish market. The singer's best-selling studio album to date, Corazón de poeta was a commercial success upon release, performing well in Spain—where it received a double Gold certification—as well as Latin America—where virtually every song from the record found success. It remains Jeanette's most acclaimed album, and is considered by the singer herself as her best work. Various tracks from the album are among Jeanette's most famous songs, and several of them have been covered by other artists more »
