Selena’s family accused of trying to profit off of posthumous album

Selena Quintanilla Pérez’s legacy lives on as one of many best Tejano singers of all time.

Her household is planning to launch a posthumous album in April 2022, nearly 27 years after her homicide.

However, some followers aren’t proud of the venture and really feel that her household is exploiting the Texas-born starlet — who was shot in 1995 by crazed fan Yolanda Saldívar — for revenue.

Selena’s brother, A.B. Quintanilla, just lately shared particulars in regards to the report in an interview with Tino Cochino Radio.

“It’s a crazy concept album,” Quintanilla stated on the radio program. “I remixed all her vinyls and just, with this album, with an EDM world, with arpeggiators and with keyboards, I made her flow to cumbia. Normal songs that were not normally recorded in cumbia.”

Cumbia is a musical rhythm and conventional people dance that originated in Colombia within the Nineteen Forties.

Quintanilla went into extra element in regards to the manufacturing aspect of the album, revealing that the workforce was in a position to digitally alter her voice to make her sound aged. Several of the tracks have been recorded when she was a teen.

“We were also able to de-tune her voice to make her sound older than what she was. So, she was 14 or 15, we were able to make her sound like she just stepped out of the booth at 23 years old,” he acknowledged.

However, “by de-tuning her voice a little bit, it actually made her sound deeper, like she sounded before she passed.”

Fans tweeted out their concern in regards to the album, with a number of questioning its authenticity. “There’s literally no other reason to do this except $$$,” one person wrote.

“This is sickening. Abraham Quintanilla should let his daughter Rest In Peace,” another asked on Twitter. “How hard up for cash is Abraham?”

One person penned, “It’s not authentic.”

Abraham Quintanilla, the daddy and supervisor of Selena, informed Latin Groove News that the album could have greater than 12 songs produced by her brother.

“If you listen to it, you know, she sounds on these recordings like she did right before she passed away,” Abraham famous in his interview.

“I said right after she passed away that I was going to try to keep her memory alive through her music, and we have done that,” Abraham added. “Twenty-six years later, Selena is very present in today’s music world.”

Selena’s life was dramatized within the 1997 Jennifer Lopez drama “Selena” and the 2020 Netflix miniseries of the identical title.
