Paulina Rubio - Don't Say Goodbye (2002)
12 December 2007 // 3:25 PM
Mexican singer Paulina Rubio for her start in a children's pop group called Timbiriche in the 1980s. But by the early 1990s she struck out on her own and began recording and releasing music specifically for the Latin American and South American markets. After the late 1990s Latin invasion in the US, many labels demanded their Spanish-speaking artists record crossover material. Rubio was no different. Her smash Spanish-language single "Yo Sigo Aquí" was recorded in English and received a small-scale release in various European countries in early 2001. It went by unnoticed but Universal were adament that Paulina record a full album of English material.
Paulina enlisted the help of the same crew who had put together her hit 2000 album "Paulina" to record English versions of various tracks from the album as well as a few new songs. The end result was the "Border Girl" album. Despite major TV promotion from both Paulina and the label, both the lead single, "Don't Say Goodbye," and the album flopped miserably. "Don't Say Goodbye" landed just outside the Top 40 in the US and peaked at #32 in the UK.
