Overview:
Cuts Both Ways is a 1989 album by Gloria Estefan. It was the first studio album credited to Estefan as a solo artist, but is her 11th album overall including her work with the band the Miami Sound Machine. Although Estefan’s name is on the front cover, on the spine of the album’s vinyl LP format, it credits Estefan and the band (as with the previous album, Let It Loose).

In Spanish-speaking territories, the album was titled Doblemente Herida

By 1989, Gloria Estefan was one of the most succssful female Latin artists in the world. After a decade of being the lead singer of Miami Sound Machine, she had been credited above the group name (Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine) on their 1987 album Let It Loose. With the release of Cuts Both Ways, it was widely believed that Estefan had gone solo, but Miami Sound Machine continued to perform as her backing band in the studio and on tour (however, the only original member of MSM to play on the album besides Estefan was her husband/producer, Emilio).

The album contains pop, rock, dance music and Latin rhythms. It has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, reaching the Top Ten on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, and peaking at #1 in the UK, Belgium, Australia, and Ireland.

The first single from the album was “Don’t Wanna Lose You”, which became one of Estefan’s biggest hits, reaching #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (her second U.S. number one) and was certified Gold by the RIAA. It also reached the Top Ten in The Netherlands, Ireland, Brazil and the UK.
