Concept

On April 16, 2012, Isabella Castillo announced she was choosing the songs, some written and composed by her, for her first solo album, which would be released that fall first in Spanish and then in English;[1][2] she signed a record deal with Warner Music Latina on February 27, 2013.[3][4]

The album, titled Soñar no Cuesta Nada, is produced by Martín Chan, was recorded in Miami and produced in three months.[5] Castillo defined it "a disc of transition. There are songs from Grachi, which are for children. But there are also ballads, for adults. [...] It's rather a disc of transition, which tries to mix the two audiences avoiding me to concentrate on just one".[5] The songs are eleven, nine of which were written by Isabella Castillo.[6][7] "Soñar no cuesta nada" was inspired by a fan, who told the singer that she liked a boy, but he ignored her;[8][9] "No me importa" was written during a bout of jealousy; "Alma en dos" and "Me enamoré" are also part of the soundtrack of the third season of Grachi: the first was composed thinking about the love story between Grachi, Axel and Daniel, while the second when the singer was fourteen;[10][11] "Pertenezco a ti" was originally in English and Castillo adapted the lyrics in Spanish; "Lágrimas" is a rock remix of the song that was part of the soundtrack of the second season of Grachi; "El momento" was composed thinking that no one should stop being himself to be with another person; "Esta canción" wasn't initially planned, but occurred while the singer was taking a shower and Warner approved it.[5][12][13]

Release, music videos and promotion

On March 18, 2013, the single "Soñar no cuesta nada" was released,[14] and was used as closing theme for the last ten episodes of the third season of Grachi from April 26 to May 10. On April 15, after a preview three days before,[15] the videoclip for the song was released:[16] recorded at the beginning of the month at LMNT Contemporary Arts in Miami, directed by Rafael E. Rodríguez and produced by Yare Films,[17] it stars the Hungarian model Nordi Novak as male lead.[18] The full album was released on April 23.[19] On August 6, the music video for "Esta canción" was filmed in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires,[20] directed by Cecilia Atán,[21] which aired on television on September 4 and landed on MTV Latinoamérica the next day.[22][23]

Isabella Castillo held several fan meetings through Latin America to promote the album: on April 30[11] and July 18 in Mexico City,[24] on May 8 in Buenos Aires,[25] on July 15 in Monterrey,[26] and on August 11 in Santiago.[27] She then made a promotional tour in Argentina from August 13 to August 23, passing through Mendoza,[28] Neuquén,[29] Rosario,[30] Pilar,[31] Trelew,[32] Morón,[31] and Lomas de Zamora.[33]

A concert tour was expected in October, but got cancelled.[34][35][36]
