Daniela Romo (album)


Daniela Romo is the debut album by Mexican pop singer Daniela Romo, released in 1983. A previous album had been released in 1979, but it was not promoted nor commercially significant, and it is not considered her debut. This album had a commercial appeal targeted to teenagers and young adults with catchy pop songs and was a big success in Latin America.

History

To critics and fans, this is seen as Romo's debut, as the real first album did not meet with any success, and few know of its existence. She debuted as a writer on several songs. Danilo Vaona wrote "Mentiras" ; another prominent singer who wrote for her was Miguel Bosé on the song "Pobre secretaria".
