Abraham Quintanilla, the father of the late Selena Quintanilla, shared that a new album from the Queen of Tejano will drop next month.
As per CBS, Quintanilla told Latin Groove News that the record will include 13 songs that her brother, A.B. Quintanilla, worked on. “Selena’s been gone 26 years now,” he said. “It’s amazing how fast time flies… What amazes me, and Suzette, my family, A.B., is that 26 years later and the public still remembers Selena. They haven’t let go of her. They’re waiting for a project like this to come out, and I know it will be well received by the public.”
The Queen of Tejano’s father also revealed that the album will be “unique” as it is comprised of recordings from a 13-year-old Selena reworked to make it sound like she was 23 years old, her age when she was killed in 1995. “My son worked on Selena’s voice with the computers and if you listen to it, she sounds on this recordings like she did right before she passed away,” Quintanilla explained. He added that Selena’s sister Suzette will be involved in the creation of the album art.
Warner Music Group has not shared a statement as of writing.
