Sueños (Dreams) is Yolandita Monge's thirteenth (13th) studio album and third with CBS Records (now Sony Music Latin). It includes the hits "Sola", "Siempre Tú", "La Distancia", "Acéptame como Soy", "El Amor", and the title track. This album marked a change for a more contemporary pop sound for the singer, along with a change of image. For this release, Monge worked with international producers of the likes of Oscar Gómez & Mariano Pérez, in an effort to market the singer outside of Puerto Rico.
This release marked an important transition in the career of Yolandita Monge. So far all her records had maintained a similar musical concept and arrangements. However, with this production the singer launched a new, fresh and modern international pop sound that served as the preamble to the "boom" that broke out with her next album, Luz de Luna. This production also marked her foray into dance pop and the first of several radical image make-overs that would place her at the forefront of fashion trends in Puerto Rico.
The album was re-issued on CD format in 1993 and is currently out of print in all media formats. Several hits songs appear in various compilations of the singer available as digital downloads at iTunes and Amazon.
