Selena Quintanilla’s Teenage Vocals Get a 2022 Upgrade in ‘Moonchild Mixes’
Thania Garcia At the core of Selenidad — the enduring tribute to Latina superstar Selena Quintanilla — is the shared relatability to her story and of course, the Queen of Tejano’s transcendent vocals. Now, 27 years after her death, subsequent generations get to experience “new music” from the singer with “Moonchild Mixes,” out today (Aug. 26) via Warner Music Latina. Containing 13 songs in total, 10 of which are new variations of tracks from Selena’s catalog, “Moonchild” was produced by Selena’s brother and original Selena y Los Dinos composer/bass player/producer, A.B. Quintanilla III. “Moonchild” pulls from the band’s 1998 “Preciosa” album, refashioning the songs “Carino Mio,” “Sabes” and the album’s lead single “Como Te Quiero,” which received three different remixes including a pop, cumbia and regional Mexican rendition.
