Changing Paths

In 1995, Yuri promoted her new album Espejos del Alma; at the same time she was diagnosed with tumors in her vocal cords.

In appreciation to her miraculous recovery she dedicated an album to God in Mariachi genre titled Mas Fuerte Que la Vida; that year she was recognized as the Reina VI del Festival Mundial de Mariachis. The album is received well by her fans, but the record does not sell well; afterward she asks her record label, Sony Music to allow her to retire so that she could dedicate more time to herself.

The music label, Poligram, records her new single Sabor a Mi which was supposedly going to be part of a new album that took almost the rest of the year to be produced. The Christian album titled Mi Testimonio was produced but was only distributed among Christian music libraries throughout Latin America.

In 1998 Yuri decides to release a new Christian record titled Huellas in the inspirational pop genre. Soon after, Yuri finally decides she is really going to exit the entertainment business so she could dedicate herself to her new faith and family.

Struggles to Renew Fame

In 2002 after four years of absence in mainstream Latin Entertainment, Yuri signed a contract with Televisa

Televisa

to compile her thirty best hits in an album titled Mis Treinta Mejores Canciones. She promoted her record by going on several Latin TV shows and singing her old songs with a new twist.

Soon she signs a new contract with a record label Español MUXXIC, her new album titled Enamorada with the single Ya No Vives en Mi did not reflect the level of success she had in 80s and early 90s. Media critics and fans agreed, the CD proved that Yuri was still a powerful and diverse pop artist. Regardless of her talent, her absence had taken a toll, and some tracks barely made the top ten in a few countries like Baile Caliente in Chile.

In 2004, Yuri goes back to record label Sony Music, she releases a new album titled Yuri, A lo Mexicano but the album had even more disappointing sales that was partially due to the lack of promotion.
