Gloria Trevi is bring a little amor to the world…

The 47-year-old Mexican singer, known as the “Supreme Diva of Mexican Pop,” will kick off the U.S. leg of her El Amor world tour at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on August 21, the same day she releases her highly anticipated new album.

Gloria Trevi

“These are songs that have transformed my life, that have taught me about love and how I want to be loved,” Trevi said in a statement. “I know I will leave pieces of my soul on this tour, which will be very physically and emotionally demanding but it will be worth it.”

Trevi enlisted Chilean producer Humberto Gatica for the as-yet-untitled new album, with the first single scheduled for release on May 19.

Trevi recently attended the premiere of her new biopic last month at South by Southwest. Directed by Christian Keller from a screenplay by Sabina Berman and starring Sofia Espinosa, Gloria chronicles the pop provocateur’s tumultuous rise to stardom, how she came to be known as the “Mexican Madonna,” her stint in a Brazilian jail due to bizarre criminal allegations, her exoneration and eventual comeback.

“I watched the movie at my fans’ suggestion,” Trevi told Billboard’s Leila Cobo during a Q&A at SXSW prior to the film’s first U.S. screening. “It’s not easy to see your life reflected and I personally had to understand that it’s not a documentary, but a film with dramatic license. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me get angry. It was hard to watch, but even with all the dramatic license it took, it’s a film with a positive message.”

“It’s hard to play me,” she added with wry humor. “I’m like a tragicomedy; I make people laugh and cry.”

Tickets for Trevi’s “El Amor” tour will go on sale April 24 on axs.com. Shows from Los Angeles to El Paso, Texas, have been announced so far, with more to follow.
