Vendetta (Ivy Queen album)

[9] It was announced in September 2013, that Queen had changed management and returned with Jorge "Goguito" Guadalupe, president and co-founder of Filtro Musik, to release her ninth studio album, entitled Vendetta.

[16] The tour, launched on 29 January 2014, included performances at various gay clubs in cities of the United States and Puerto Rico, such as New York, Orlando, Miami, Houston, Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Atlanta, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Tampa, and Ponce.

[18][19] According to Queen, she named the album Vendetta, because of the sexism she received from concert promoters and businessmen due to the fact that she was impregnated.

[22] The album is to have collaborations with Jowell & Randy, Tempo, De La Ghetto, Ñengo Flow, and MC Ceja.

It is also to have a rerecording of "Ángel Caído" from her 2004 studio effort, Real and a cover of Celia Cruz's "Quimbara" and "Bemba Colorá".

[24] The tribute cover of Celia Cruz's "Quimbara" and "Bemba Colora" appear as the sixth track.

[25] "Casi Te Envidio" was previously recorded by Andy Montanez, in 1988,[26] who is featured on Queen's rendition of the song.

The song was composed in major key tonality, with individual verses being delivered by the trio, and group vocals performed during the chorus.

It features simple harmonic progressions, a brass-horn ensemble, prominent percussion, synthesizers, techno synths and accordion or bandoneon playing.

[32][33] In September 2015, it was announced that the four albums would be released again, due to the folding of VeneMusic, the project's record label in charge of distribution.

[44] On the salsa release, Jefferies selected "De Pronto Desperte", "Un Hombre Bueno", "Se Me Vuelve A Olvidar" and the tribute to Celia Cruz as the stand out tracks.

[45] On the bachata release, he selected "No Soy Aquella", "Mas Feliz Asi" and "Por Un Descuido".

[46] On the hip hop release, Jefferies selected "Vamos A Guerrear", the title track, "I Don’t Know" and "Dime A Mi Quien".

[47] On the urban release, he selected "Sacude & Levantate", "Te Sirvo De Abrigo", "Naci Para Amarte" and "Soy Libre", while naming "Vamos A Guerrear", "Vendetta", "Naci Para Amarte" and "Soy Libre" as the key tracks from the album.

[49] Marcelo Baéz for Manero magazine praised "Te Sirvo De Abrigo" and "Quiero Castigo" for being "two of the heavier, dirtier tracks" on the album.
