As of 2013, Gabriel had released twenty studio albums, three live albums, and fifteen compilation albums. Three Gabriel albums reached number one on the Billboard Latin Pop Albums, and seven singles reached number one on the Billboard Latin Songs chart, including "Ay Amor", "Es Demasiado Tarde", and "Quién Como Tú". Her work earned her numerous awards and accolades, including a Grammy Award nomination, four Latin Grammy Award nominations, thirteen Lo Nuestro Awards, as well as awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers; in 2006, she received the Excellence Award at the Lo Nuestro Awards.
In 1987, Ana Gabriel won third place at the OTI Festival in 1987, celebrated in Lisbon, Portugal, where she performed an orchestral version of the pop-power ballad song "Ay Amor", which later was released as a single in its album version; it climbed to the top position in Mexico, all-over Ibero-America and on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart for 14 consecutive weeks.
In 1988 Gabriel released her first album, Tierra de Nadie, followed by Pecado Original in 1989, which met with some chart success. Her 1990 album Quien Como Tú made her a force within the Mexican music industry. Eight months later, her live album En Vivo showcased her powerful stage act and scored several hits: "Hice Bien Quererte", "Propuesta", and "Solamente una Vez".
Throughout the 1990s Gabriel released an album almost every year. A versatile singer, she showcased her talent as an interpreter of many different musical styles, from lambada to mariachi and romantic ballads to pop music. She also honed her skills as a songwriter and a producer, releasing Mi Mexico, a ranchera-influenced, mariachi-backed pop album, in 1991. This unique blend of styles was also reflected in the songs, all written by Gabriel. Her lyrics described strong, active women involved in their love lives, counter to their passive, traditional depiction in older songs. The album also included a tribute to Mexico's most popular singer-songwriter, Juan Gabriel (no relation).
Gabriel scored a number-one hit with the duet "Cosas del Amor" in 1991, which she sang with Vikki Carr, a Mexican-American pop singer famous in the 1960s. The single earned Gabriel a Lo Nuestro Award for Song of the Year in 1992. At the same awards ceremony Gabriel was also named Female Artist of the Year in the Regional Mexican category and Pop Female Artist of the Year; Mi México was named Regional Mexican Album of the Year. In 1993, Gabriel was awarded Best Pop Female Performer at the Lo Nuestro Awards.
In 1996 she released the pop-oriented Viven-cias. She followed this with the traditional ranchera album Con un Mismo Corazón in 1997, an album she wrote and produced herself. Of particular interest is her title-track duet with Vicente Fernandez, one of the most prolific and popular ranchera singers in Mexican history. Burr wrote of the duet, "The beauty here lies in the melding of two great voices—Gabriel's husky sensuality and Fernandez's powerful, understated expressions—set against a 25-piece symphony."
Gabriel released another live album in 1998, En la Plaza de Toros Mexico, a 30-track boxed set. That same year she traveled to Miami to work with the renowned producer Emilio Estefan, Jr., on her 1999 album Soy Como Soy. The result was a pop-influenced ranchera album that went gold in the Latin music market and helped Gabriel win the Ritmo Latino Music Award for Female Pop Artist of the Year in 2000.
With the release of Eternamente in 2000 Gabriel returned to mariachi love ballads, using only guitar as accompaniment. That same year she also appeared with other Mexican music icons in an independence day television special called Viva Mexico, a celebration of Mexican music and history. In 2001 Gabriel released Huelo a Soledad, once again balancing the traditional sounds of Eternamente with sophisticated pop songs, a cappella numbers, and dance tracks.
In 2002 Gabriel's platinum-selling album Sagitario was released. In that same year she won the Billboard Latin Music Estrella Award in recognition of her contribution to the Latin music industry, performed at a tribute concert for Vicente Fernandez sponsored by the Latin Music Awards, and participated in the ninth annual Las Cruces International Mariachi Concert and Festival in New Mexico. In December of that year she was scheduled to perform at the eleventh annual Christmas Mariachi Festival in Phoenix, Arizona, but was denied a work visa and refused entry into the United States.
Gabriel is a devout Catholic, telling Luther Orrick-Guzman of QV Magazine, "I believe and have a lot of faith in God." She places a red rose and a white carnation onstage at each of her performances, telling Orrick-Guzman the flowers symbolize "communication between myself and God." Her performances are also noted for their power and the respect she has for all of her fans.
Evidencias
Ana Gabriel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es porque te amo
Cuando digo que no quiero mas de ti,
Es porque te quiero
Mas tengo miedo de entregar mi corazón
Y confesar que ando toda entusiasmada
Yo no puedo imaginar que va ser de mi si te perdiera un día
Veo mi paz que se desprende por doquier
Que después te entrego
Necesito hablar las cosas que yo se
Y después me niego
Y la verdad es que estoy loca ya por ti
Que tengo miedo de perderte alguna vez
Necesito aceptar que Dios jamas va a separarte de mi vida
Es una locura el decir que no te quiero
Evitar las apariencias ocultando evidencias
Mas porque seguir fingiendo sino puedo engañar mi corazón
Yo se que te amo
Ya no mas mentiras si me muero de deseos
Yo te quiero mas que a todo, necesito de tus besos
Le haces falta a mis días, mas sin ti no se que hacer,
Que hacer sin ti, yo quiero que conozcas mas de mi
Son mis temores los que me alejan,
Lo cierto es que te quiero mas que a mi
Son mis temores los que me alejan,
Lo cierto es que te quiero mas que a mi
Es una locura el decir que no te quiero
Evitar las apariencias ocultando evidencias
Mas porque seguir fingiendo sino puedo engañar mi corazón
Yo se que te amo
Ya no mas mentiras si me muero de deseos
Yo te quiero mas que a todo, necesito de tus besos
Le haces falta a mis días, mas sin ti no se que hacer
Que hacer sin ti, yo quiero que conozcas mas de mi
Son mis temores los que me alejan,
Lo cierto es que te quiero mas que a mi
Son mis temores los que me alejan,
Lo cierto es que te quiero mas que a mi
Son mis temores los que me alejan,
Lo cierto es que te quiero mas que a mi
Son mis temores los que me alejan,
Lo cierto es que te quiero mas que a mi
In Ana Gabriel's song "Evidencias," she sings about her fear of fully giving her heart to someone she loves. She opens by saying that when she says she doesn't want to love him anymore, it's because she already loves him too much. Similarly, when she says she doesn't want more of him, it's because she wants him too much. She then reveals her fear of confessing her true feelings and losing him one day. She emphasizes that she needs to express what she knows, yet denies doing so because she fears the consequences. Finally, she admits that she is crazy for him, but fears losing him and needs to accept that God will never separate them.
The song conveys the complexity of emotions that come with loving someone deeply and being afraid of losing them. Gabriel articulates these emotions through her lyrics and powerful delivery. She acknowledges her fear of losing her lover while also expressing her need to confess her feelings. She ultimately reaches a point where she can no longer hide her love and cannot bear the thought of losing him. The song's catchy melody and Gabriel's soulful vocals add an extra layer of emotion to the already powerful lyrics.
