TBT: RBD uploads a high quality version of their 2008 single Empezar Desde Cero

Who?

Nowadays, after urban music has taken over the mainstream radio and became the biggest force when it comes to streaming in Latin America, it's hard to imagine that at some point the Pop genre used to rule the music scene. In the last half of the 00's, RBD was the Mexican band that helped to popularize the teen pop and pop/rock genre even more, and after they disbanded in 2009, no pop act enjoyed a similar level of success as theirs, and then reggaeton and urban music in general took over.

In January 2008 they released Empezar Desde Cero, the second single off their fifth studio album of the same name, released in 2007. An extra cheesy and more bubblegum-pop-ish compared to the rest of their discography, it was chosen by the fans as the next single and it has the particular distinction that is mainly sung by Maite Perroni, a member of the band that wasn't featured a lot in most of the songs throughout their different albums, since she didn't really have a singing background as Anahí or Dulce María did.

After many years since their music was wiped out of music streaming services, due to legal issues with the owners of the group's rights and the record label, their music catalog was finally made available last week, on Spotify, Apple Music and especially YouTube, where they uploaded lyric videos for all of their songs, as well as the official music videos (some were uploaded, while others were unlocked). One of the missing videos though, was Empezar Desde Cero, which has been uploaded today in high quality.

To most of you, RBD might be unfamiliar if you're not used to listen to music in Spanish, and even more a group that's been disbanded for more than a decade, but if you really like pop music, make sure to give it a try:

 

They have a strong fanbase, that is still alive after all these years, and they were the main ones that kept asking for their catalogue to be available again. Last week, they even broke some records on Spotify, with no other promotion than some small Twitter clips made by their members:

Love this song, actually the entire Empezar Desde Cero album is amazing. It is my second fave album by them. Inalcanzable, A La Orilla, Fui La Nina, Y No Puedo Olvidarte are among some of the best and most beautiful RBD songs in my opinion.

I never really liked Clase 406 so the only song I know it's the opening theme by La Quinta Estación

I watched the teen telenovelas before that, like El Juego de la Vida and Locura de Amor, and the ones that came after, like CLAP and Corazones al Límite, but I don't know why I never connected with Clase 406

 so you never heard the music  your missing out on Lynda heaven literally go stream Mirame A Los Ojos and tell me if I'm wrong. They only released two albums but I only recommend the second one if you were to become interested. I also recommend Dos Enamorados it's amazing.

Right  they should have just asked her to be a part of the telenovela and let her sing the songs all by herself, her voice is everything.

You know I don't know if they ever performed it live, I'll go look around on YT and see if I find anything.

well, it was the year she retired, so I don't think she would've been interested to take part in the telenovela, but she could've at least sung the theme by herself, like La Quinta Estación did.

Plus she had already sung the opening for Primer Amor, a Mil por Hora a few years prior to that, so maybe they were like, we need someone else lol

EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW!
