La Tormenta (transl. The Storm) is the second solo and Spanish-language extended play (EP) by American singer Christina Aguilera. It was released through Sony Music Latin on May 30, 2022 as the second part of her ninth studio and second Spanish-language album Aguilera (2022), following up La Fuerza. Aguilera decided to release the album in an unconventional way, one part at a time. While La Fuerza focused on strength and female empowerment, the content on La Tormenta is centered around vulnerability and heartbreak.[1] Argentine singer Tini provides guest vocals on the EP's lead single "Suéltame".[2][3][4]
La Tormenta was released as an EP on May 30, 2022, featuring five original songs. The version of La Tormenta featured on Aguilera features an additional version of "Cuando Me Dé la Gana" with Mexican singer Christian Nodal as the closing track. La Tormenta was followed by the third and final EP of Aguilera, titled La Luz.
While recording her second Spanish album in Miami, Aguilera thought about a way to combat the fact that she takes "a long time between records", wanting to find a new way to release music. She developed the concept of a three part album, with each part reflecting a different theme: strength, vulnerability and healing.[5] The first part of the album, La Fuerza (transl. "The Strength") which was about strength and womanhood, was released on January 21, 2022.[6][7] The full Spanish album, Aguilera was released on May 31, 2022, and features all of the songs from the EP La Tormenta as well as its predecessor La Fuerza, and a new version of "Cuando Me Dé la Gana" featuring Christian Nodal.[8]
The release of the EP was postponed for a few days due to the Uvalde school shooting.[9][10] La Tormenta premiered on May 30, 2022, and was released commercially for digital download and on streaming platforms worldwide by Sony Music Latin.[11]
