Her North American side did no take long to surface and “BORDER GIRL” was her Anglo Saxon consolidation, showing off all the influences she experienced in life. “PAU-LATINA” was the definitive blending result of all Paulina´s merging musical influences released in 2004.

“It was a musical workshop”, she admits regarding her work plenty of collaborations and experiments. A golden year for the “Golden Girl”, who climbed all the way up to the peak being the top selling Latin American artist in 2004. 2006´ s “ANANDA” was another brilliant album.

It is by far her most autobiographical work as well as the album where she most actively participated, being involved in each and every part of the creative process. “ANANDA” another hit in Paulina ´s career that achieved the platinum status in physical sales, contained Ni Una Sola Palabra (a Latin Billboard Awarded song), was a multiplatinum certificated. 2009 will see the release of her new album: “GRAN CITY POP”, an imaginary mega city where Paulina gathers in one sight some her musical and life experiences happened to her in the last past years in different cities of the world.
