    Released: 1995

Sólo para Ti (English: Only for You) is the twenty-fifth studio album by Mazz and was released on September 12, 1995 with EMI Latin. The album was named Hot Shot Debut at #4 on the Billboard Latin 50 chart.[2] It contains the cumbia hit "Estúpido Romántico", which peaked at #6 on Billboard Hot Latin Tracks,[3] and other popular Mazz songs "Amigo Mio", "Vuelve Conmigo", and "Más y Más".

Production

[edit]

"Vuelve Conmigo" is backed up by Tejano singer Rebecca Valadez, who later also worked with Mazz co-founder Jimmy González and his iteration of Mazz after the original group's 1998 disbanding. Music videos were recorded for "Estúpido Romántico" and "Más y Más".[4][5] Sólo para Ti also contains a reinterpretation of the then especially popular dance song "Macarena" and a "remixed" (or potentially re-recorded) version of "Traicionera", a ranchera Mazz previously recorded for their 1993 album Mazz Románticos Que Nunca, in a sort of hip-hop style.

The EMI Times commented that Sólo para Ti "represents the group's natural style and maturity", with Mazz lead singer Joe López adding that it "has more arrangements, more percussion and [...] is more thought out".[6]
