Song of the Week

Cuando Me Enamoro- Enrique Iglesias f/ Juan Luis Guerra

This is the first single (released today, 4/26) off of Enrique's much anticipated 9th studio album. He has already called this the best album of his career, a career in which he has sold over 60 million albums worldwide, topped the Billboard 'Hot Latin Tracks' with 20 different songs (most by any artist ever), and has propelled himself as one of the top selling artists of this generation. I bet anyone that this song will, again, top the Billboard charts with many more from this album to follow. Now what makes this album so special? Well this is the first one that Iglesias has recorded with all original Spanish and English songs. Some of his previous albums included English and Spanish versions of the same songs. For this album, he also has teamed up again with mega-producer RedOne. The two had previously worked together on Takin' Back My Love f/ Ciara off of his "Greatest Hits" album. This is the first studio album from Enrique since "Insomniac" back in 2007. He did release 2 compilation albums in 2008 ("Greatest Hits" and "Enrique Iglesias: 95/08 Éxitos"). Furthermore, Iglesias has reportedly included songs featuring rapper T.I., Akon, Usher, Wisin & Yandel, and Nicole Scherzinger.


Now back to the single. What makes this single so special? Well it is an epic duet with Domincan merenguero, Juan Luis Guerra. The track incorporates some Caribbean merengue elements. Apart from the fact that this is another Enrique love song, this song is smoother and more free-flowing than his usual songs and fits perfectly with Juan Luis Guerra's style. Also, he strays away from the dance hits he had been releasing in his most recent albums. However, you can most likely expect more dance hits off of this album (it does include Usher, Nicole and RedOne tracks). This is truly a refreshing song from Iglesias. Billboard, watch out, here comes "Number 1 Hit" # 21.

Favorite Line: "Si pudiera bajarte una estrella del cielo, lo haría sin pensarlo dos veces, porque te quiero"--"If I could bring you a star down from heaven, I'd do it without thinking twice about it, because I love you"
