βIntense, unpredictable, dramatic, magical, authentic and unique.β That is how Karol G describes her upcoming album, βTropicoqueta,β as well as the epic telenovela teaser she released to promote it.
The Latin superstar reunited some of the biggest stars in Mexican telenovela history, showcasing the intense passion and pleasure that fans can expect from her new music.
The mini Spanish soap opera is described as a βstory of love and nostalgia,β opening with Karol fawning over a throwback photo of Ricky Martin from his own telenovela heydays.
It then shows a heartbroken AnahΓ, from βRebeldeβ fame, also pining Martin.
It only gets steamier when the coquette Ninel Conde, as her legendary character Alma Rey from βRebelde,β emerges in her signature bustier.
But jaws drop when iconic telenovela villain Soraya Montenegro from βMaria La Del Barrio,β portrayed by ItatΓ Cantoral, emerges on screen, furious and knife in hand.
The drama continues with Karol and AnahΓ getting into a physical fight, hair pulling and all, before Cantoral delivers one of Sorayaβs classic lines.
βΒΏQuΓ© estΓ‘n haciendo? Β‘Con mi hija no te metas, maldita Lisiada!β, which translates to, βWhat are you doing? Donβt mess with my daughter, d— Lisiada.β
Just when fans think the drama has been contained, Gaby Spanic reprises her “La Usurpadora” role, along with Azela Robinson, to re-create a memorable scene. Fans online even put the two scenes side-by-side.
Karol later shared photos from the set on Instagram, describing the project as βa dream come true.β
βHow crazy,β she wrote, adding in part, βYou marked our lives with each of your characters.β
Thanking the actors for their participation, calling them βwonderful, iconic queens. An honor to be in the same place with you!β
βTropicoquetaβ is Karolβs fifth studio album, set to be released on June 20. The 20-track record includes collaborations with Marco Antonio Solis, Greeicy, and Mariah Angneliq, among others.
Karol, known for her different hair colors to coincide with her eras and albums, told TODAY.com about going back to a more natural shade for her next project. The Colombian star rocked pink locks for βMaΓ±ana SerΓ‘ Bonito,β her last album released in 2023.
βI just went back to my natural color of my hair, because there is so much going on right now, so much coming right now,β she said. βAnd I think I really wanted to be my most natural and original and authentic and genuine version of myself.β
