Background

Laferte found inspiration for the album from Regional Mexican music and also after watching the documentary Chavela about Costa Rican-born Mexican singer Chavela Vargas, with whom she felt a connection due to both having the life story of coming to Mexico as an immigrant and living in Tepoztlán.[5]

The album title, Seis (six in Spanish), refers to the fact that the album is her sixth under the name Mon Laferte; however, it is actually her seventh album overall since her first studio album, La Chica de Rojo (2003), was released under her legal name, Monserrat Bustamante.[6]

SEIS was ranked at number 14 in the list for "The 35 Best Spanish-Language and Bilingual Albums of 2021" by the American magazine Rolling Stone.[7]
