After signing a recording contract with EMI Latin in 1989, the label denied Selena a requested crossover after she made three demonstration recordings. After her Grammy Award nomination for "Live" (1993) was announced, Selena signed with SBK Records to begin recording her crossover album, which was front-page news in "Billboard" magazine. In March 1994, she released "Amor Prohibido"; in interviews she said her English-language album was still being developed. Recording sessions for "Dreaming of You" began in December 1994; Selena recorded four tracks slated for the album. On March 31, 1995, she was shot dead by Yolanda Saldívar, the former manager of her Selena Etc. boutiques over a dispute about claims of embezzlement.
