After seven Mecano albums and fame in Europe and Latin America , months of continuous touring were taking their toll on the band, especially on Ana who was starting to develop vocal problems. In 1993 the band announced a "temporary split". While José and Nacho composed solo albums, Ana chose to travel round the world to visit places like Hawaii , Bombay and New York , cities she had sung about while fronting Mecano. It was in New York that she set up home and took dance classes. By 1997 Ana felt confident enough to sing again and moved to London to record her first solo album ''Puntos cardinales''. The album marked a curious change for Ana, as her new songs were not written from a male point of view by the Cano brothers, she felt she could express herself in Spanish as a woman for the first time. The first single from the album ''A contratiempo'' was a Spanish Cover of an old Bette Midler song, "Bottomless". The Video showed a "new" Ana Torroja with plumper Lips and other Attributes Hitherto Unseen on the former Mecano star. In 1998—partially due to the expense and Commercial Failure of José María's Opera project—Mecano reformed for the double-disc Greatest Hits compilation ''Ana, José, Nacho'', which also featured seven new songs. In 2004, Ana duetted with Mexican singer Aleks Syntek on his song "Duele El Amor", from his "Mundo Lite" album, which became a smash hit in Mexico. |
