Thalia's English Single Has Early Launch in New York

TW reporters: Lorena & Nelson

Radio stations around the USA received their promotional copies of Thalia's first English single by Thursday, but today New York station KTU 103.5 jumped the gun and debuted "I Want You". The slow, urban hip-hop collaboration with Fat Joe of The Terror Squad is not like anything we have heard from Thalia before, and fans had been calling the studio to request it for days although they had no idea what to expect. The official launch date had been given as April 28th, with the single available for sale on April 29th.

Apparently, Thalia herself heard that the song was being played on KTU and called for a spontaneous interview. (Note: If MdC can make a copy of the interview for us, we will post it here for you.) Besides telling the listeners about her hopes for the song's success, she also revealed that the video for "I Want You" will be filmed in the Bronx this following Monday and Tuesday. All fans are invited to come, she cheerfully said, signing off before giving any further details.

(NOTE: Now we have to hope that the official website, http://www.thalia.com, will provide us with snapshots of the video shoot as they have in the past. Residents of the US and Mexico can also watch El Gordo y La Flaca on Monday for possible coverage of this event.)
