Vértigo is the fourth studio album by Mexican singer Fey. It was released on May 21, 2002, by Epic Records and Sony Music Mexico. The album instantly succeeded in Latin America, topping the charts. The album took 2 years to complete. Musically, it incorporates elements of europop, electronica and alternative pop. It debuted at number one in Fey's native Mexico, topping the album charts and opening with an impressive 75,000 copies. Vertigo was the last album Fey released with Sony Music until 2012, when she signed a new record deal with the label.
Background and production
[edit]Originally released in Mexico as a double album featuring one disc in English and a second in Spanish, Vertigo became the fourth full-length record by Latin pop artist Fey. It was produced in England and the U.S. by Graeme Pleeth and Robert Jazayeri. Anticipated following the release of the Sé Lo Que Vendrá single, Vertigo achieved gold status in Mexico after selling 75,000 copies in two weeks.
Singles
[edit]The album spawned two official singles released over a period of 7 months. The first, "The Other Side", was released in April 2002 to critical acclaim and a successful run on many Latin charts. It is deemed Fey's comeback single, peaking in the top ten countries like Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia. The song "Dressing To Kill" was released in late autumn as the 2nd single. "Romeo & Juliet" was released instead on February 7, 2003, as a promo single in Colombia.
