Becky G's new album reflects both sides of her personality.
The 29-year-old singer has just released Baraja Bendita, her fifth studio album, and Becky feels proud of the record because it's honest to every side of her personality.
The chart-topping star - whose real name is Rebbeca Gomez - told CBS Mornings: "I feel like this album really marries the Rebbecca side of me ... the sensual, more vulnerable side of me, the intimate side of me, and then also, you know, who I am.
"The boss in the boardroom and the boss on the stage."
Becky's album title loosely translates to, a blessed deck of cards. And the singer claims that she's "gotten really good at playing the game" during the course of her career.
She said: "We all know that quote of we can't necessarily control the cards that we were dealt – but what we can control is how we play them.
"I feel like throughout my years of, of doing what I do, personally and professionally, I've gotten really good at playing the game and I think that that's something that especially as women, as we've become more empowered, we're almost taught to feel more shameful about that and I think I'm just owning it."
Becky previously admitted to feeling isolated during the early years of her music career.
The singer - who was born to American parents of Mexican descent - recalled being the "youngest" and the "only brown girl in the room" at various points in her career.
Becky - who released her debut album, Mala Santa, in 2019 - told Interview magazine: "This industry can be very lonely, and sometimes I really crave a connection with people who really understand what it is to be in my shoes.
"For so long, I was the youngest person, or the only woman, or the only brown girl in the room. I felt isolating. So finding artists who understand the hard work and sacrifice that comes with success makes all of it feel more meaningful."
