It’s been two years since Ivan Cornejo dropped Dañado, the album that peaked at No. 1 on Regional Mexican Albums for 37 nonconsecutive weeks, the fourth-most since the chart launched in 1985.
Today, he’s unleashed his highly-anticipated MIRADA, his first major-label debut (via Interscope Records), after offering previews like “Intercambio Injusto,” “Dónde Estás” and “Baby Please,” which debuted at No. 8 on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart in March — his first top 10 on the tally since 2021.
Last month, the 20-year-old hitmaker from Riverside, Calif., announced the album with a cryptic post. “Ivan, do you think you’ll fall in love again?” A voice asks him as the pensive artist sits in front of a bonfire. “I don’t want to,” Cornejo quickly responds. In his Billboard digital cover story from January, Cornejo teased his third studio album saying it would be “bigger” than Dañado thanks to “improvements musically and lyrically.”
The Mexican-American singer-songwriter broke out in 2021 with his first single, “Está Dañada,” which landed him a No. 1 entry on Billboard’s Latin Songwriters chart dated Oct. 30, 2021, while also becoming the second regional Mexican song to appear on the all-genre Hot 100. So far, the singer-songwriter has placed 14 songs on the Hot Latin Songs chart, and he landed at No. 10 on Billboard’s 2023 year-end Top Latin Artists chart.
Currently, he’s on his Mirada Tour, which kicked off July 6 at Summerfest in Milwaukee, Wis. Check out the complete list of dates here.
