Fey (born '''María Fernanda Blásquez Gil''' in Mexico City , July 21 , 1973 ), is a Mexican pop artist that became a symbol for her country by the middle-end of the 1990s. Daughter of parents dedicated to music, Fey became involved with the music industry since she was little. Fey became well-known in Latin America with her debut album, ''Fey'', it was her next album, however, ''Tierna la noche'' which rose her to worldwide fame. HISTORY The 90's and The Fey-Mania In 1995 , under the label of Sony Music Mexico, Fey released her first album ''Fey''. The public's feedback could not have been better for the artist. In just a couple of months Fey had been a total hit in her native Mexico , and had reached #1 with ''"Media naranja"'', ''"Gatos en el balcon"'', ''"Me enamoro de ti"'' and ''"La noche se mueve"''. Fey also had a massive tour in Mexico , including consecutive concerts in the Teatro Metropolitan, one of Mexico's well-known auditorium, and all of Latin America , and reached ''Gold status'' sales by the end of the year. And The World is for Fey In 1996 Fey launched ''Tierna la Noche''. ''Azucar Amargo'', the CD's first single, lasted in the Billboard chart for more than 30 weeks. However, not only did Fey position all of her singles (9) in the international top 20 and the Mexican top 10, she also imposed a fashion period in Mexico and Latin America. Everything from shampoo to notebooks were endorsed by the artist, all becoming an instant hit. Her tour, Tierna la noche, was also very successful. With this tour, Fey proved that the ''Feymania'' was here to stay, by consecutively filling what is considered Latin America's biggest resitum, El Auditorio Nacional, in Mexico , with more than 10,000 people in each. Overall the tour consisted of more than 40 presentations in Mexico , the U.S. and Latin America , as well as some presentations in Europe . Point apart is Brazil, where the success of the Spanish-language production lead to the Portuguese version of the CD, which itself became an instant hit in the country. The Color of Her Dreams In 1998 , and after more than 8 months of absence, Fey released her third album "El color de los suenos", which itself was different to the preceding two in that the album was a mix of different rythms and styles. ''"Ni tu ni nadie",'' the album's first single, instantly reached number one in the Latin charts; ''"Diselo con flores",'' ''"Canela"'' and ''"Cielo Liquido"'' soon followed. Although the record did very well in sales, it did not compare to the over-the-top success of "''Tierna la noche''". After almost a year of promotion and platinum record sales, Fey announced, in a 1999 charity concert, that: "everything has a cycle, and this is the end of mine". For the following days and weeks, Fey appeared in magazines and newspapers all over Latin America, U.S. and Europe, declaring that over-the-top promotion and excessive work were the causes of her retiring. Vertigo, the first failure After 4 more years without Fey, she returned ( 2002 ) with a new CD, ''Vertigo'', which wasn't as successful as the past ones, it reintroduced Fey to a more grown-up crowd, which had waited four years for her return. Vertigo presented a new, more mature Fey, expressing what she was going through in the record. Vertigo was recorded in English, and it was produced by R. Jazayerí. As a present to her Mexican fans 'Vertigo' was released as a double edition with both the English & Spanish album. The English album contains three songs not included on the Spanish version. This album; Vertigo is considered by most Fey fans as her best album to date. The Force Of the Destiny, reconquering the public Fey relaunched her career with '' La Fuerza Del Destino '', a tribute to the Spanish group Mecano . This album was successful with the three singles ''La Fuerza Del Destino'', ''Barco a Venus'' and ''Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte'' With this album she visited the festival Vine Del Mar, besides the festival Selena Vive! And she reached high sales. The record did amazingly sales-wise, and it gave Fey her very first Latin Grammy nomination for "Best Pop Female Vocal Album". ]] HER MUSIC Albums |
