Eugenia León, a renowned Mexican singer, is venturing into songwriting with her upcoming album titled 'Mis canciones', which will showcase her own compositions for mariachi. This marks a significant shift in León's extensive career, as she has primarily been known as an interpreter rather than a composer. During an interview with Milenio, she expressed her excitement about this new direction, noting that she has around 15 songs in the works for the album.

The album has faced some delays as León continues to refine her compositions. She has released singles like 'Ya no te quiero ver', 'Anoche te soñé', and 'Carita de cielo', which are potential candidates for inclusion in 'Mis canciones'. León emphasized that the creative process is still ongoing and that she wants to ensure the best quality of work before finalizing the album's tracklist. With a self-defined enough repertoire, she is nonetheless cautious about deciding on the final selections.

León's shift into songwriting not only broaches a new chapter in her artistic journey but also highlights the importance of personal expression within the traditional mariachi genre, typically characterized by its rich cultural roots and collaborative nature. Her anticipation to present the album later this year hints at a fresh, introspective angle on beloved musical styles, potentially enriching the landscape of contemporary mariachi music further with her unique voice as a composer.
