Future Women's History Month: Sofia Reyes' Crucial Crossover Potential
Fuse is celebrating Women's History Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Women's History before our eyes. While Hispanic artists have become and continue to be an integral part of the U.S. music industry, when it comes to the representative females there's an obvious imbalance. While the likes of Selena, Thalia, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez made important crossover moves for Latin acts, there's been a lack of new talent to continue their legacy. Yet, it finally feels like this current drought of Latina superstars may end with someone like Sofia Reyes.
Last year, the Mexican singer-songwriter who's become known for her brand of bilingual bangers (see "Conmigo (Rest of Your Life)" or "Muévelo"), saw "Solo Yo"—which was released in both Spanish and English—hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart making her the first female in five years to score the top slot as a lead artist. The last lady to accomplish such a feat? None other than J.Lo.
