Selena Quintanilla New Album: Here's What to Expect From 'Moonchild Mixes' Album

Selena Quintanilla's fans will hear new versions of some of her songs as the Tejano music legend's family releases a new album. Selena's first new album in 27 years, "Moonchild Mixes," was released on Friday, August 26.

The latest album was announced by her estate, with her brother, A.B. Quintanilla, telling ABC News that they have to fuse old school ways with new school ways to produce Selena's new album.

According to NPR, this album was described by Warner Music Latina, a collaborator in the project, as a combination of ballads and cumbias, which was sourced from various parts of Quintanilla's family catalog.

The said album was crafted for more than a year and arrived nearly three decades after Selena's death. Selena's brother noted that they hope the singer's new album will "breathe new life into this old music" and create "new for the newer generation."

Selena's father, Abraham Quintanilla, noted that they worked to age the voice of the Queen of Tejano music and make it "fuller."

"My son worked on Selena's voice with the computers and if you listen to her, she sounds on this recording like she did right before she passed away," Abraham noted.

It was composed by the singer's brother, A.B. Quintanilla. This song is a mix of Tejano and cumbia music.

Dreaming of You

Although not included in "Moonchild Mixes," "Dreaming of You," is a Selena song you must listen to.

This song, which is included in her fifth and final studio album, has been compared to the ballads released by Madonna and Paula Abdul.

"Dreaming of You" gave Selena Quintanilla an award from Broadcast Music Incorporated Pop Award for having two million airplay impressions in 1996.

The song became one of the Latina icon's most popular and recognizable recordings, and various artists have since covered it.
