Seis (album)

Laferte found inspiration for the album from Regional Mexican music and also after watching the documentary Chavela about Costa Rican-born Mexican singer Chavela Vargas, with whom she felt a connection due to both having the life story of coming to Mexico as an immigrant and living in Tepoztlán. The album explores themes of power, desire and womanhood in song such as "Se Me Va la Vida" ("My Life is Running Out") alongside the banda Mujeres del Viento Florido, which is about Chilean women prisoners and "La Mujer" ("The Woman") with Gloria Trevi, which according to Laferte, started as a "toxic" song but was re-written afterwards and turned into a song about "ending a relationship and the survival instinct", describing it as a "healing process". The album title, Seis (six in Spanish), refers to the fact that the album is her sixth under the name Mon Laferte; however, it is actually her seventh album overall since her first studio album, La Chica de Rojo (2003), was released under her legal name, Monserrat Bustamante. ==Singles==

Thom Jurek from AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, naming the album a "milestone" alongside Norma in Laferte's career, he also wrote that "each track is delivered with the consistency, care, honesty, and obsessive attention to detail that Laferte's poetic lyrics and melodies require", ending the review with "the humble presentation here contrasts with her songwriting ambition in what amounts to a truly visionary work of popular art". ==Track listing==
