On this album, Thalía collaborated again with the Colombian songwriter and producer Estéfano. El Sexto Sentido is an album sung in Spanish, except for three songs translated into English at the end of it. The album overall was well planned, well done and played with emotion. Lyrically, it talks about the loss of a loved one as in "Olvídame", optimism as in "No Me Voy a Quebrar", fun as in "Seducción" and even to an extremely sensual point in "Sabe Bien".

Four singles were released from the album. The lead single, "Amar sin ser amada", is a song that instantly impressed the female audience, thus peaking at the first positions on the charts of Latin America and some European countries. The next three singles, "Un alma sentenciada", "Seducción" and "Olvídame" became moderate hits on the charts.

On 14 February 2006, the album was reissued as El Sexto Sentido Re+Loaded in Mexico (29 May in Spain, 6 June in the US). It includes three new songs that did not appear on the original album. Two of the three new songs were released as singles: "Cantando por un sueño" and "No, no, no", the latter is a duet with American bachata singer Anthony "Romeo" Santos. The reissue was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Album at the 7th Annual Latin Grammy Awards.

Content

El Sexto Sentido is a primarily Latin pop and dance-pop album with slight influences of R&B. It contains some ballads (like "Un alma sentenciada" or "Olvídame"), pop songs (like "Un sueño para dos"), a pop rock/tango song ("Amar sin ser amada"), and Latin dance songs (like "Seducción" and "No me voy a quebrar"). She also covered "Amor Prohibido", which belongs to the fellow Latina Selena, Thalía performed the song Live on Selena ¡VIVE! concert in 2005 and "24,000 Besos", a 1960s Italian hit by Adriano Celentano. On the other hand, El Sexto Sentido Re+Loaded (a reissue of this album) included the bachata-ballad styled song "No, no, no" featuring American singer Anthony "Romeo" Santos.

El Sexto Sentido brings the songwriting and production of the well-known composer Estéfano. The album has also been nominated in both 2005 and 2006 Latin Billboard Awards and Latin Grammy.[3]

This album was a financial success internationally according to Leila Cobo from Billboard and became the first Spanish-language release in the United States to have a preorder campaign through iTunes.[4]
