Untitled

Quién Dijo Ayer is the compilation album released by Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona on August 21, 2007. The album is his first compilation to include new material in the form of re-worked songs featuring additional appeareances of various artists such as puertorrican singer Marc Anthony, spanish singer Marta Sánchez and mexican ska band Panteón Rococó, among others.

Critically and commercially successful, Quién Dijo Ayer topped the US Latin Pop Albums chart and reached No.2 on the Top Latin Albums chart. The album became a hit on Latin America, receiving Gold certifications in Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia, Chile and Peru; and Platinum certifications in Argentina, Mexico and the United States.

It spawned to commercially successful singles, "Quién" and "Quiero". After spending the majority of his career signed to Sony, and later, Sony BMG, Arjona signed a long-term recording deal with Warner Music Latina.[1] The deal was closed in September 2008.[1] This made Quién Dijo Ayer the last album he released under Sony.[2]

Composition

On this compilation album, Arjona re-worked some of his past songs to fit them into a new style, or just masterize them. By example, his song "Si El Norte Fuera El Sur" was totally overhauled and transformed into a ska style, and performed with the aid of Panteón Rococó.[3] Argentinian Jazz musician Fernando Otero was featured on the new version of "Jesús, Verbo No Suatantivo".[4]

Marc Anthony sang along Arjona on the salsa version of "Historia de Taxi".

"Historia De Taxi" was transformed into a salsa song, and saw the help of American singer Marc Anthony[3] and pianist Sergio George,[5] who commented that "It's been interesting to work with to figures from different music worlds on the interest of making good music."[6] He further stated that "every time a reunion of this kind happens, it a reason to celebrate."[6] "Realmente No Estoy Tan Solo" was also re-recorded with singer Sandro. This turned out to be the last song recorded by the latter, who died in 4 January 2010.[7] Arjona's manager told argentinian newspaper Clarín that "[the singer] had the idea of inviting Roberto [Sandro] for his album, he [Sandro] showed enthusiasm and manifested the same degree of apreciation to Arjona. It seemed to him he [Arjona] was an artist who proclaims the same values he proclaimed."[8]

This album included three new songs. "Quién" was written by Arjona and produced by himself and Tommy Torres.[9] It was released as the lead single off the album on June 19, 2007.[10] Arjona commented that "'Quién' is the world out of the window and the prison built by ourselves. It's the freedom to chose the path or to prefer loneliness as an argument of nostalgia. 'Quién' is a story with the hurry of the desperate, is the flashback of those who end up loving alone."[11][12]

"Quiero" was also written by Arjona and released as the second single on November 2007. Website ADN Mundo called the song "bohemian" and "hippie", saying it was "a love story that doesn't speak about love, but instead about the recent events on the world we live and finally comes to the search of an indidivual who challenges nostalgia finding entertainment on the impossible."[13]

In 2009, "Quiero" was awarded, along with other selected songs, the Pop/Ballad Songs of the year award by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.[14] The third new song on the album was "Espantapájaros".

Release

Quién Dijo Ayer was released, in most markets, as a double-disc compilation album. The first disc contains sixteen songs, of which thirteen are new versions of past hits by the singer. On this disc appears the duets made with Panteón Rococó on "Si El Norte Fuera El Sur"; Marc Anthony on "Historia de Taxi"; Marta Sanchez on "Tarde (Sin Daños A Terceros)"; Eros Ramazzoti on "A Ti" and Sandro de América on "Realmente No Estoy Tan Solo".[15] This disc also contains the new songs "Quién", "Quiero" and "Espantapájaros". The second disc contains the same songs on the first disc but on their original versions, remastered.[15]

On Canada, Germany, Brazil and Mexico, a digital spetial edition was released.[16] This version featured only six songs on the second digital disc instead of 13.[17][18] The songs included on the second disc on this version were "Se Nos Muere El Amor", "Dime Que No", "Si El Norte Fuera El Sur", "A Ti", "Tu Reputación" and "Cuando".[19] This brazilian version featured a different cover art.[16] The album was also released as a single disc version with only the first disc.

Also, in Mexico, two physical single-disc versions of the album was released. The first includes the first single from Quinto Piso, "Como Duele" as a bonus track at No.17[20] This version was also released in Spain.[21] The second does not include "Espantapájaros", which was at No.7 and "Realmente No Estoy Tan Solo", which was at No. 17; it also includes "Como Duele" as a bonus track at No.15[22]

Singles

The first single released off the album is "Quién". It is a latin pop song written by Arjona and produced by Tommy Torres, alongside Lee Levin and Dan Warner. The song charted on the Billboard Latin Songs at No.21. It reached its peak the week ending August 25, 2007.[23] The song was more successful on the Latin Pop Songs chart, reaching No.4. The music video for "Quién" was filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada.[11]

The second single released was "Quiero". The song reached No.12 on the Billboard Latin Songs chart, being more successful than its predecessor, "Quién", which only reached No.21. It also managed to reach No.8 on the Latin Pop Songs component chart. "Quiero" was also very popular in centroamerican countries like Honduras, Nicaragua and Panamá.[24] The music video for "Quiero" was filmed in the Dominican Republic and premiered in November 2007.[25]
