MIAMI (Dec. 19, 2024) – On the anniversary of the release of their hit “Bebe Dame,” acclaimed música Mexicana groups Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera reunite on new collaboration “MALA MÍA.” The five-track EP powerfully explores the complexities of love, desire and heartbreak, navigating the tension between passion and self-doubt, the pull of toxic relationships and the painful journey of self-realization and emotional growth. “MALA MÍA” is now available on streaming platforms.
Fuerza Regia and Grupo Frontera’s “MALA MÍA” EP Tracklist:
1. ME JALO
2. SOS
3. COQUETA
4. 0 SENTIMIENTOS
5. AURORA ft. Oscar Maydon, Armenta
Seamless traversing between Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera‘s signature styles, the EP opens with “ME JALO,” which delivers a raw and catchy narrative of a tumultuous love affair, detailing a complicated, late-night entanglement with a woman who keeps her lover in the shadows. With its diverse rhythm and playful yet honest lyrics, the song explores the seductive pull of forbidden attraction and the emotional toll of being the “other” in a love triangle. “SOS” and “Coqueta” both explore the complexity of intense, passionate relationships that blur the line between love and lust. While “SOS” captures the urgency and excitement of reconnecting with a lost love who craves the thrill, “Coqueta” reflects a more introspective longing for a fleeting affair, describing the wistful yearning for a second chance to rekindle.
“0 Sentimientos” conveys an emotionally charged story of heartbreak and betrayal, contemplating the personal investment in a relationship that was never genuinely reciprocated. The track expresses the numbness that follows deception, transforming the pain of unrequited love into a powerful statement of self-preservation. “Aurora” closes the EP with a stark, confessional tone. The final track grapples with the painful realization that despite all the love and sacrifices, the relationship was ultimately toxic, leaving one drowning in regret and self-doubt. Capturing the emotional aftermath of a broken heart, “Aurora” encourages listeners to confront their own destructive behaviors and ponder the emptiness left behind by someone who was never truly worth the cost.
Produced by multiple Latin GRAMMY winner Edgar Barrera, alongside Miguel Armenta, Grupo Frontera, Jesus Ortiz Paz, and Moises Lopez, “Mala Mía” was recorded in Fuerza Regida’s hometown studio in California and was created for the fans who have been waiting for the two groups to reunite.
