Jacqie Rivera Breaks Down 5 Essential Songs From Her New Album, ‘Corazón Desnudo’: ‘A Very Healing Process’

Jacqie Rivera releases her 12-track second studio album, *Corazón Desnudo*, on 16 October, blending pop-rock with regional Mexican, R&B and Latin influences. She says writing the record was a healing process shaped by experiences over recent years, while she also leads the company managing her late mother Jenni Rivera’s music and legacy.

Rivera discusses five songs that explore self-worth, break-ups and loving someone from a distance. The album also features a duet with her mother on Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You”, combining Jenni Rivera’s archival recording with Jacqie’s vocals; it was released as the first single on 24 July, recalling a song they once performed together when Jacqie was a teenager.
