About This Album
The fourth Soraya greatest-hits compilation released by Universal Latino in a year's span, Herencia certainly is less than necessary. It practically mirrors the track listing of her Éxitos Eternos collection, though thankfully it does resequence the songs chronologically and offer more appealing packaging, while adding one more song (the pricier Deluxe Edition adds yet more and is recommended if you don't mind paying a little extra). The release of Herencia, it's safe to say, was triggered by her tragic passing on May 10, 2006, at the young age of 37. That's reason enough to get product like this out in the market, since there was a heightened interest in Soraya in the wake of her passing. But anyone who already has a satisfying amount of her Universal catalog will find nothing new here on Herencia. It compiles the highlights of her three albums for the label: En Esta Noche (1996), Torre de Marfil (1997), and Cuerpo y Alma (2000) (discounting On Nights Like This, which is an English-language version of her debut and is not featured here). If you're unfamiliar with Soraya's back catalog, here's the short of it: Those three albums for Universal are all good, but not so good that you need them in their entirety.
