When Tañón finally returned
to the public arena, she did
so in a big way, releasing a
pair of albums in 2005. First
came Como Olvidar: Lo Mejor de
Olga Tañón (2005), a
compilation of her
pop-crossover work, and three
weeks later came Una Nueva
Mujer, her first all-new album
in two and a half years. A
back-to-basics tropical
exercise reminiscent of her
prime work yet thoroughly
contemporary in style, thanks
in part to José Luis Morín
A., who had a large hand in
the album's songwriting and
production, Una Nueva Mujer
was led by a strong single,
'Bandolero,' and was blessed
with ample critical and
commercial success. Notably,
it was Tañón's first album
since Te Acordarás de Mí to
break into the all-inclusive
Billboard 200 chart,
concurrently peaking at number
five on the Top Latin Albums
chart. In the wake of this
comeback, Tañón left WEA,
the label that had supported
her since her days in
Chantelle, after another
compilation, 100% Merengue
(2006). She moved to
Univision, the leading
Spanish-language company in
the U.S., for Soy Como Tú
(2006). The album's lead
single, 'Desilusióname,'
quickly became a big hit, and
the album itself proved mighty
successful. Produced largely
by Bob Benozzo and Ceferino
Caban, it sounded distinctly
different from past Tañón
efforts, incorporating aspects
of tropical music as well as
Latin pop for a diverse style
that offers something for both
audiences.
