Frenesí is a Grammy Award - winning album by American singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt released on September 15, 1992 (delayed from its initial August date).
It was Ronstadt's third Spanish-language album. It reached #193 on the Billboard album chart, #3 on the Top Latin Albums chart, and #17 on the Tropic/Salsa chart. Three singles charted on the Hot Latin Tracks chart: "Frenesi" - at #5, "Perfidia" - at #7, and "Entre Abismos" at #33.
At the 35th Grammy Awards, Frenesí won the Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album. After many years out of print, this album was reissued - along with Ronstadt's two Mariachi discs - in 2016.
Music critic Roch Parisien rated the album poorly in his Allmusic review, writing: "… there's little that sounds street level or rootsy about these sessions. I can't help picturing a wind-up lounge band holding court at some tourist-trap Holiday Inn in Acapulco."
