"Edurne", whose first single is "Despierta", was released on
2006. "Edurne" is Edurne's debut album, and has 12 tracks.

"Amores Dormidos". The re-release of the Edurne's debut
album included "Te Falta Veneno", the theme song for "Yo Soy
Bea" (Spanish adaptation of the Colombian soap opera "Betty

single "Despierta". Also, Edurne recorded "Don't Tell Me
Tonight", a duet with the Iranian singer Cameron Cartio for
his album "Borderless".
Edurne's second album is called "Ilusión", and it was
released on June 19th anticipated by the single "Ven por
mi", a cover of Sita's "Come With Me". The album peaked at
#11 position in the official iTunes albums chart. "Ilusión"
includes the track "Fue para los dos", a Spanish-language
adaptation of a song originally written in English by Hanne
Sørvaag and Harry Sommerdahl under the title "Brief and
Beautiful"; this English version was also recorded by
Norwegian artist Maria Arredondo and released as a single in
