She continued, 'It’s a dream to share my history, my love and my respect for a part of me that’s so dear to my heart. 

'I’m proud to explore more about myself & my musical passions with every new project. It’s been incredibly special to get to work with so many talented artists in bringing this body of work to life…and this is only the first chapter! Con amor…'

Late last year she began promotion for the EP as she dropped the Becky G., Nicki Nicole, and Nathy Peluso collaboration Pa' Mis Muchachas.

The song and music video premiered at the end of October, with the vocalist calling it 'a celebration of individuality.'

In November she continued the rollout of new music when she performed the ballad Somos Nada at the Latin Grammys.

The stunning video was directed by Venezuelan director Nuno Gomes and shot in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Earlier this week, the mother-of-two gave her Instagram followers a sneak peek at the video footage as she shared multiple looks from the shoot.

One variation showed her in a red latex jacket with shoulder pads, while another fashion number offered the same material, but in a corset with very long matching gloves.

She posted an image with her collaborator, Ozuna, who matched her in a red leather outfit of his own.

With this latest music endeavor, the blue-eyed beauty is calling back to her Ecuadorian heritage. 

Speaking with CNN en Español she reflected, 'Mi Reflejo had been such a beautiful, special time in my life, but it was 20- plus years ago when I was coming on the scene. I was so green to the business. I was baby Christina.'

She added that now, more than 20 years later, 'I'm a grown woman who had such an incredible career. Now I get to come back having reflected on that.'
