Thalía (English-language album)

Thalía is the ninth studio album and first English-language album by Mexican singer Thalía. Released on July 8, 2003, by Virgin Records, it represents her first full-length project recorded entirely in English and a significant step in her effort to expand into the global pop market. The album’s production marked her first collaboration with Virgin Records, which also reissued her previous EMI catalog worldwide in support of this new international phase of her career.

The record generated notable attention for its lead single "I Want You", featuring rapper Fat Joe, which achieved commercial success in several countries and became her most successful English-language hit. Despite its strong promotional campaign, Thalía received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its polished production and R&B influences but criticized the album’s reliance on bilingual versions and lack of artistic risk. Commercially, it debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200 and earned Gold certifications in multiple markets.
