Untitled

Independiente ("Independent") is the thirteenth studio album released by Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona on October 4, 2011. Recorded between the United States and Mexico, the album was produced by Arjona himself, as well as Tommy Torres, Dan Warner and Lee Levin. It is his first album not to be directly released by Warner Music, instead being released by his own independent label, Metamorfosis Enterprises Inc.

The album was composed and written within the period of one year, and it marks the third time Arjona had collaborated with Tommy Torres. In it, the singer returned to his classic and trademark sound after the drastic change he made in Poquita Ropa, in which the artist decided to use the lowest number of instruments as possible, simplifying his sound at the most, and introducing what he called a "stripped-down version of his music". The album received comparisons to his previous works Historias and Animal Nocturno.

Commercially and critically succesful, Independiente became his fourth number-one set on the Billboard Top Latin Albums when it debuted atop the chart on the week ending October 22. It also topped for ten non-consecutive weeks the Latin Pop Albums chart, and reached No.1 on the Mexican Albums Chart. It is his fifth consecutive album to chart on the Billboard 200. It is also his fourth album ever to chart in Spain. Within a week of release, the album received Gold certifications in Chile, United States and Mexico; and Platinum certification in Venezuela and Argentina.

Three singles have been released. The lead single, "El Amor", became a commercial hit, reaching No.1 on both the Billboard Latin Songs and Latin Pop Songs chart, and on several countries on Latin America. Second single "Fuiste Tú" featuring Gaby Moreno reached No.1 on the Latin Pop Songs chart and No.2 on the Latin Sons chart, as well as topping several other charts. Third single "Mi Novia Se Me Está Poniendo Vieja" was released in April 2012. To promote the album, the singer embarked on his third world tour, which he titled the Metamorfosis World Tour.

Background

Independiente is the first album Arjona releases as an independent artist. It was released through his own record label, Metamorfosis, a company he created to refocus his career.[2] This new company, presided by Arjona and some friends, is based in Miami and Mexico City[3], and also includes the photographer and director Ricardo Calderón, Universal Music México's executive Humberto Calderon and BMG's Miriam Sommerz.[3][4]

Metamorfosis record label.

Although, the album is being distributed by Warner Music.[5] Arjona commented, in multiple times, that he considered the way he decided to go independent raised more compromise than freedom, saying that "Inside the word 'Independent', even when it sounds like extreme freedom, there's a big amount of compromise and the responsibility of being able to administrate, in the best way possible, such independence."[6]

Weeks before the release of Independiente, the Guatemalan singer released a letter in which he talked about his past relations with recording companies. In the letter, Arjona revealed that he entered in his first record label by exchange, and that he received the "minimum royalty percentage" out from his most successful albums.[7]

Billboard notes that although other groups have decided to launch independently their works after having a contract with major record labels, Arjona is by far the most important artist in the Latin pop to follow this trend.[3]

Composition

Independiente was composed and written within the period of one year,[8] and it marks the third time Arjona had collaborated with Tommy Torres, who had helped writing, composing, producing and offering backing vocals where needed. The other two albums in which the two artists had worked together are Quién Dijo Ayer, in which Torres helped producing the singles "Quién" and "Quiero", and offering additional work on the new versions of Arjona's hits; and 5to Piso, released in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Also, in the album, Arjona returned to his classic and trademark sound, which Torres has helped crafting it since six years now, after the drastic change he made in Poquita Ropa. On that album, the artist decided to make use of the lowest number of instruments as possible, simplifying his sound at the most, and introducing what he called a "stripped-down version of his music".[9]

Talking about the development of "El Amor", Arjona commented that "so many good things about love has been shown, that somebody had to turn it around and tell the bad ones".

—Ricardo Arjona.[10]

Development of "El Amor" was motivated by Arjona's idea of showing "those big dark events within love that nobody talk about", saying that "love's dark sides are really fundamental to understand its great value".[11] It marks the return of the signature and more mainstream sound of Arjona on a music basis, after the multi-genre and politically charged Poquita Ropa's lead single, "Puente", which failed to make impact on the United States and proved moderate success in Latin America. The album includes "Fuiste Tú", a duet with guatemalan singer Gaby Moreno, and which later became the second single of the album. Arjona commented that he was happy with her, stating that "we had the possibilites to record this song with very well known people, but the possibilities of doing it with her, for me, is a celebration."[12] He further said that Moreno was an "incredibly talented woman", calling her a "countrywoman" and a "fantastic human being".[12] He also named "Fuiste Tú" one of the most important songs on the album.[12]

Arjona commented that one of the songs in the album, "Mi Novia Se Me Está Poniendo Vieja", was written for his mother, Noemí Morales. he said that "I wrote the song as a gift for my mom in a Mother's Day and two sisters (a couple of years ago) [...] and i thought the idea of including it on the album was very good".[13] He also said that he never thought to include the song in an album, just as happened with his single "Señora De Las Cuatro Decadas" from Historias back in 1994.[13]

Arjona stated that "Caudillo" is related to "the image of some friends i had while on the university."[12] He also commented that he "appears so much in there because sometimes one transforms himself in a contradiction of all those things for which you fought for in those seasons. It's the history of a student leader that becomes a President."[12] Arjona dedicated the album to his father, who died in 2011.[14]

Release and promotion

Independiente was first digitally released in some South american countries on 23 September 2011, as a spetial edition dubbed the Cono Sur Edition.[15] This version included a different mix of the song "Reconciliación".[15] On 30 September 2011, the digital download for the standard edition of the album was released in several Latin American and European countries.[16][17] On 4 October 2011, the album was officially released as both a digital download and compact disc in most markets.[18][19] Also, a spetial iTunes Edition was released as a digital download on the iTunes music store. This version included an album-only video at No.15 called "Independiente".[20][21]

On Germany, the album was first available through label Kiwi on 4 October 2011,[22] and later on 11 October 2011 through Warner Music.[23] On Canada and Spain, the compact disc version of the album was available on 25 October 2011.[24][25]

The first single off Independiente is "El Amor", being released in August 23, 2011.[5] In the United States, the song reached No.1 on the Billboard Top Latin Songs, becoming his fourth number-one hit on that list after "Desnuda", "Cuando" and "El Problema", and No.1 on the Billboard Latin Pop Songs. It also became a hit in the rest of Latin America, reaching No.1 in Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala.[26] The music video for "El Amor", filmed entirely in black-and-white, was released on September 8, 2011. It was directed by Ricardo Calderón, who also directed Arjona's music video for "Como Duele", and filmed in Mexico City.[27]

The second single off the album is "Fuiste Tú", the collaboration with also Guatemalan singer Gaby Moreno. The music video for the song was shot in Guatemala, around the tropical locations of Antigua Guatemala, Río Dulce, the Atitlán lake, Semuc Champey and the Tikal ruins; and directed by argentinian Joaquín Cambre.[28] Arjona commented that "this video recreates the battle on the couple when someone starts to talk 'is the beginning of the end'."[29] As of February 2012, the song has reached No.2 Billboard Top Latin Songs, and No.1 con the Billboard Latin Pop Songs.

The third single off the album is "Mi Novia Se Me Está Poniendo Vieja".[30][31] Arjona wrote the song for his mother, Noemí Morales,[13] who told him she didn't like it because it make her cry.[30] The music video was filmed on the Universal Studios in Los Angeles, and is protagonized by himself and his son Ricardo Arjona Jr.[32] It was directed by Robert García.[32][30] The song was used by American telecommunications corporation AT&T on a commercial promoting the Nokia Lumia 900 smartphone, which also features Arjona, and was released to coincide with Mother's Day.[33]

Tour

Starting on 27 January 2012 in Toluca, Mexico, Ricardo Arjona embarked on his third world tour to promote the album. The tour was announced on December 2011,[34] and is planned to visit the Americas and Europe. The show consists of four ambiences on top of a rotatory stage through which Arjona performs and each one of them are directly related to the songs being performed. Fellow Guatemalan singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno has appeard in every concert, only to perform "Fuiste Tú".

The tour has been widely praised by critics and fans alike. Natalie Torres from newspaper Dia a Dia commented that "Arjona knows how to handle his 'girls', with a mix of attitudes from a 'rough' male and seductive lyrics."[35] Jon Pareles from New York Times commented that "Arjona is one of Latin pop’s finest lyricists: observant, nuanced, sometimes wry, sometimes melancholy and especially fond of the play of opposites."[36] He also said that "unlike some of his fellow Latin pop stars, Mr. Arjona is no saccharine lover boy."[36]

The tour has broke many records in terms of its ticket sales, commercial gross and audience attendance. On Buenos Aires, it became the most attended show ever for any artist on the Velez Stadium, with a total attendance of more than 160,000 people on four consecutive sold out concerts.[37] In Guatemala City, Arjona became the first artist ever to have two consecutive sold out concerts at the Mateo Flores Stadium, with more than 50,000 people on both shows.[38] As of April 2012, the tour has been seen by more than 500,000 people in 8 countries.[39]

Allmusic[58]

David Feffries of Allmusic gave the album a somewhat positive review, referencing the return of Arjona to his more mainstream music after his "stripped-down acoustic effort" Poquita Ropa. He, as also Arjona and other media mentioned before, compared the production values and musical style of Independiente with those of past albums Animal Nocturno and Historias.

Finally, he states that "Returning fans will revel in this combination of freedom and growth, and appreciate the return of producer Tommy Torres, the man who has been behind the boards for quite a few of Arjona's most popular releases", referring precisely to the absence of Torres in the production of Poquita Ropa.[58] Website GMI commented that "listening to Independiente is a labyrinth to go through, each song is a guhe path that seems to have no end, because it involves imagination, it invites you to dream, to charm, to bewitch. But neither leaves behind the problematic requirements of love, its loopholes, hideouts and concerns, as well as its bad times in this joke that's life."[59]
