Piel de Ángel (Skin of Angel) is the thirteenth album from Mexican pop music singer and actress Lucero. It was released in 1997.

Contents

For this album, the singer choose to work with Italian producers Claudio Guidetti and Maurizio Fabrizio to achieve a new sound on her music, since she had already three back to back ballad albums written and produced by Spanish songwriter Rafael Pérez-Botija.

Piel de Ángel was released just after Lucero's wedding with Manuel Mijares (one of the highest rated events in Mexico history), and was another successful recording for her, selling 600,000 copies only in her native country; rarely certify three gold records for their high sales.

Gerardo Flores wrote seven out of eleven tracks included on the project, including an adaptation of the "Il Postino" score, written by Luis Bacalov, by Lucero's request, since her mother was a big fan of the movie.

As usual for a first single for the singer albums, "Tácticas de Guerra" (War Tactics) and hit the No. 1 spot in Mexico and also the No. 13 on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart.

The track "Si Tú Llegaras a Amarme" (If You Would Love Me) is the result of a contest in México for the soap opera "Lazos de Amor" (also starring Lucero).

"Quiero" (I Want) was released as second single reaching No. 8 in Mexico. The third single "Toda la Noche" (All Night Long) had a first video directed by Adolfo Pérez Butrón, the photographer behind almost every cover of the artist albums.

On her second live album Lucero En Vivo Auditorio Nacional the track "Historias de Amores" (Love Stories) and the single "Tácticas de Guerra" appears on the setlist.
