Background

edit

Mirada is Iván Cornejo's first album with Interscope Records.[1] He announced the album on June 18, 2024.[2] A trailer for the album was released in the same month, which sees Cornejo sitting in front of a bonfire, containing a background narration between him and an unknown voice.[3] Its tracklist was later revealed at the beginning of July of the same year.[4]

Composition

edit

Mirada is a regional Mexican album, with incorporations of alternative rock.[5] "Quiero Dormir Cansado" is a surf rock cover of Mexican singer Emmanuel's song of the same name,[6] while "Atención" is described by Cornejo as a "dance-y" track due to its time signature being at 4
4
instead of 3
4
, a common time signature used in corridos tumbados.[5]
