"Génesis" is the name given to the third studio album by the Puerto Rican singer, songwriter and actress, Mary Ann Acevedo, released in January 1, 2012 worldwide through digital download and in December 7, 2012 on compact disc.[1] Originally the album was confirmed for release in February 2010 as "El Amor es la Solución", but with the birth of her daughter, Mary Ann had to delay the departure of the album to April 2010; then GT Musik announced the album release was delayed for a few months. She agreed that her homonymous first album was a continuation of her tenure in the third edition of "Objetivo Fama". On that album, the songs were chosen when Mary Ann left the reality show; in December she was released a special production titled Cántale a tu Bebé.[2]

Background

This album is the comeback of Mary Ann to the music. After her pregnancy, her album of lullabies and being a contestant in the reality show Idol Puerto Rico, Mary Ann took more time to delay the album's release. It was thought that the album would be called "El Amor es la Solución" (Love is the Solution), but apparently "Genesis" proved to be a more commercial and more welcoming to the public as the first single from the CD is titled the same way.[3] "Génesis", the official single from this album was released on March 2010, popularized by Lucecita Benítez. Mary Ann wants to convert it back into a hymn as she did Lucecita Benítez in 1969. She hopes that her fans know this song that was a success in the '70s. For Mary Ann is an honor to sing this song was an anthem of Puerto Rico through the beautiful voice of Lucecita. She has sung the theme in the concerts of "Los Favoritos".[2] Genesis is an album that portrays the influence of Mary Ann, including covers of songs that the public has known in the voices of Rocio Durcal, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and other singers. In addition, Mary Ann includes a new version of the song "Todo para Mi" featuring the jazz flautist Néstor Torres; song that is on her first album with the title "Todo Eres Tú." Besides, this production integrates a merengue version of the song "Mírame".
