Miguel Hernandez, the Texas-based Tejano artist known for his powerful voice and musical versatility, has released the lead single “Nunca Volverás” from his upcoming album Anthology, Vol. 1. This project will feature re-recorded versions of some of Hernandez’s most beloved songs from his early career, showcasing his evolution as an artist while paying homage to his musical roots.
In an exclusive interview with Tejano Nation Radio host Romeo, Hernandez shared the inspiration behind Anthology, Vol. 1. “This brand new single is off of the Anthology album,” he said. “I’m recreating and re-recording some of the songs from my first couple CDs. And Nunca Volverás is the first installment off of that Anthology album.”
The song was co-written with Andrés Trejo, hailing from Toledo, Ohio, and originally recorded in 1996. Hernandez noted that the track had never truly seen the light of day at the time. “It’s just something that I wanted to do, you know, like I said, recreating some of the songs that maybe didn’t get to be heard. Maybe they were just songs that people forgot, and I just wanted to bring them back to existence.”

Hernandez’s decision to re-record songs from his early days with his first band, Pasión, is a way to give fans a chance to hear these tracks with a fresh perspective. He reflected on his journey, saying, “These were songs that I created back when I was living in Detroit before I made the move to Texas in 1994. It’s something special, bringing it all back after all these years.”
The Anthology, Vol. 1 album is set to be released in October of this year, with a new single being released each month leading up to the full album. Hernandez is keeping his fans engaged with new music while preparing for an exciting year. “In addition to the Anthology album, I’m also working on another album with new songs and arrangements. It’s going to be a busy year,” he said.
Hernandez has had an illustrious career spanning over three decades, and his influence on Tejano music continues to grow. His most recent releases, including the ballad “Nadie Más Que Tú” and the more recent track “La Duda,” show his musical range and commitment to delivering quality music.
In addition to his musical success, Hernandez was recently inducted into the Tejano ROOTS Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 class, cementing his place as one of Tejano’s most respected artists.
As fans eagerly await the release of Anthology, Vol. 1, Hernandez promises more exciting music and a busy year ahead. Stay tuned for more updates and new releases as he continues to share his passion for Tejano music with the world.
