Sofia Reyes is finally back with a new album…

The 26-year-old Mexican pop singer has released her highly-awaited sophomore album Mal De Amores, five years after her debut set Louder!

On her new set, Reyes not only experiments with new musical approaches but also flaunts her maturity over the years.

She’s unapologetic, and the opening track “MUJER” is proof of that — a saucy cumbia with elegant violins where she simply says “I don’t regret being a woman.”

It follows with the galactic reggaetón banger “Marte,” the set’s focus track, performed in collaboration with Maria Becerra — a friendly reminder that women should never tolerate toxicity.

Reyes also navigates musical styles in Mal de Amores ranging from norteño (“GALLINA”) to corridos (“Amigos” with Adriel Favela, Danny Felix) to her signature pop-urban.

The 17-track set includes previously-released collaborations such as “1, 2, 3” with Jason Derulo and De La Ghetto, “R.I.P.” with Rita Ora and Anitta, “A Tu Manera (Corbata)” with Jhay Cortez, “De Casualidad” with Pedro Capo, and the Becky G-assisted title track.

Reyes also teamed up with Warner Music newcomers Leon Leiden and The Change.

Sofia Reyesis putting the BS to rest…

The 23-year-old Mexican singer-songwriter has joined voices with Anitta and Rita Ora for the trilingual track, “R.I.P.

The new song follows Reyes’ 2018 one-off single “1,2,3,” which featured Jason Deruloand De La Ghetto.

Kicked off with a cumbia shuffle and infectious hook, the Fliptones-produced song shrugs off negative vibes in English, Spanish and Portuguese. 

“R.I.P. to the bullshit/Brush it off like Cool Whip,” recommends Reyes, who maneuvers a Catholic cross into a dance move. 

Shot in Los Angeles, the sumptuous video, directed by Eif Rivera, sees the international trifecta strut their troubles away amid a lush jungle refuge.

“We all need to be encouraged to walk away from all the bullshit that’s holding us back,” said Reyes in a press release. “It was also incredibly empowering for me to work with these two super women. I loved that we got to mix all of our cultures up with one message that we can all agree on.”

“R.I.P. to boring people, to wasting time!” adds Anitta, who suffused the song with her native Portuguese.

Signed at 16 to D’León Records— Prince Royce’s label under Warner Music Latina— Reyes released her full-length debut, Louder!in 2017. 

She is currently working on new music.

The upbeat and energetic Spanglish track, the theme song for Garnier Fructis Mexico #NoCortes campaign, will be part of Reyes upcoming debut album.

“This song represents the completely fun side of what music should be,” the “Solo Yo” singer said about the tune, which she co-wrote with her manager, Charlie Guerrero, and Scott Effman.

“It’s a song that happened in a very natural non-forced way. That’s why it feels so free, so fun. Roman X randomly sent us the track and Charlie (my manager) and me sat down and wrote it for fun, and it just happened. ‘Louder!’ channels all the freedom of being who you are, doing what you love and living every single moment. Working with Spencer and Francesco was not only a delight but a privilege. They brought so much to the table and they have the vibe we want to channel: Don’t let anything ever stop you, live the life to the max, enjoy it as nothing makes more noise than love. #LoveIsLoud.”

Entitled “You’re Mine,” the song is a moving ballad that is a tribute to her late boyfriend and co-star, Cory Monteith, who died in July.

Michele gave fans an early listen to one of her most personal tracks by sharing a link to the full audio track for “You’re Mine.”

“My next . . . track #YOUREMINE (available tomorrow) is my favorite song on #LOUDER,” she tweeted Monday. “It’s so special to me & its story is so close to my heart.”

The song’s heartfelt lyrics include, “And you said those three words I’ve been waiting for/ You became a part of me,” as well as “You’re mine, for life/ And I’ll be by your side/ We are entwined/ You’re mine, for life.”

Michele spoke about the song, and its special meaning, to Elle late last year. “The album was done, and the label said, ‘Do you want to add anything?’ I was like, ‘I might regret it if I don’t,'” she said at the time. “It makes me think so much of Cory. It was ours. When I think if him, I play this.”

Her debut album, Louder, is set to be released on March 4, 2014.

It’s the Glee star’s first-ever music video as a solo artist.

“OMG THIS IS SUCH A DREAM COME TRUE!!!! I hope you guys like it!!! #CannonballMusicVideo,” wrote Michele on her Twitter account on Friday. “So thankful to everyone who helped me make my #CannonbaFrodllMusicVideo and to all of you for watching.”

Directed by Robert Hales and styled by Estee Stanley, the clip evokes the mid-tempo track’s lyrics of self-empowerment through light beams, wreckage and Michele’s dramatic outfits.

At first, Michele sits folded over in a dark, destroyed mansion, posed with the same distraught facial expressions she wears when singing an emotional ballad on the Fox musical dramedy. She knocks over a piano while dressed in a black crop top and mid-length tulle skirt with matching black nail polish.

The video then shows light filling the room as she paces and begins to smile. She later emerges in rooms of mirrors, stringed white lights and a backdrop of colored light beams, wearing white dresses and white nail polish while smiling from cheek-to-cheek.

“Cannonball” is the first single off her debut album Louder, which will be released on March 4.

The track was written by Sia Furler.

Michele has already filmed the music video for the track. “SO EXCITED SHOOTING MY VERY FIRST MUSIC VIDEO TODAY FOR THE FIRST ALBUM SINGLE!” she tweeted earlier this month. She also posted several photos taken from the set.

Michele, who stars as Rachel Berry of Fox‘s hit musical dramedy, plans to release her first studio effort in early 2014. In an interview with Elle for the magazine’s December issue, she revealed that her album would be featuring a song that she recorded for her late boyfriend, Cory Monteith.

The song is titled “If You Say So“, which were the last words Monteith said to her before he died back in July.

Michele said that she initially had no plan to include the song in her album.

“The album was done, and the label said, ‘Do you want to add anything?’ I was like, ‘I might regret it if I don’t,’ ” she said of adding the song to the tracklist at the last minute.
