Chicas Malas is the fourth studio album by Mónica Naranjo and, probably, the most dance-oriented of her entire career. It is a deliberately provocative title, with a nocturnal energy and a more international approach in sound and composition, marking a turning point due to its direct character and pop ambition.
On this record, Naranjo surrounds herself with key names in international songwriting and production, such as Gregg Alexander, Gary Barlow, and Diane Warren, strengthening a repertoire that blends vocal power with more forceful rhythmic foundations. From this come songs that became essential in her catalog, like “Chicas Malas,” “No Voy a Llorar,” and “Sacrificio,” alongside tracks very representative of the album such as “Libérame,” “Hot Line,” or “Lágrimas de Escarcha.”
This 20th anniversary edition on picture disc vinyl presents the album on an LP with a very marked visual focus and a selection of songs that keeps the dance pulse without losing the characteristic drama of the artist. It is a clear way to return to a record that did not seek to please everyone, but to affirm an aesthetic, a sound, and an attitude.
