Peligro (Reik album)

Peligro is the fourth studio album from Mexican pop group Reik, released on July 5, 2011 through Sony Music. According to the band, the album has a more aggressive, experimental and electronic sound than their previous productions.

Background

For this album the members of the pop trio wanted to venture into more adventurous sonic terrain, which not only targeted at a remote location in Tornillo (Texas), but also recruited several producers to find that new sound they sought in their new songs. Rey Palacios (Julieta Venegas, Belanova, Andrés Calamaro), Kiko Cibrian (Luis Miguel, Rocío Dúrcal) and Ettore Grenci (Yuridia, Kalimba Marichal) were selected to make the new delivery from the band, a little more classical, without losing that romantic touch to their well-known romantic ballads.

"The first single "Peligro" is the most experimental song on the album. Acoustic instruments still exist and there are also ballads. We remain being ourselves, but we decided to just make things a little more danceable. It's good to have songs that put people in a good mood," said member Bibi, at a press conference held upon the album's release.

Peligro (Shakira album)

Peligro (English: Danger) is the second studio album by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, released on 25 March 1993, by Sony Music Colombia.

Background and composition

Author Ximena Diego wrote that "the first fifteen years of Shakira's life gave her a taste of how sweet stardom could be"; She was signed to Sony Music Columbia at the age of 13, with the deal being to record three albums, which were Magia, Peligro and Pies Descalzos. While Magia, her debut album, wasn't much of a success commercially, with only 1,200 copies sold, the songs from that record garnered frequent radio play on Colombian radio stations, and, according to Diego, showed her potential.

Despite Magia's lack of sales, Sony Colombia had higher expectations for Shakira's second album, hoping that it would heighten the small popularity she was already having. Diego wrote, however, that the time during the production and release of Peligro would prove that "the road of the artist was not an easy one." The several months of producing Peligro was one of Shakira's most frustrating periods in her career, resulting in an "odd album" that did not fare well with the singer. The album features songs written by Shakira and other composers, including Eddie Sierra, who wrote "El Amor de Mi Vida" from Ricky Martin's self-titled debut album. The press release by Sony Colombia, who seem satisfied with the final product, described Peligro's lyrical content as "profound", "direct" and "filled with magic and poetry". Musically, the record has a "North American ballad treatment", with instrumentation of rock guitars, acoustic pianos and Kenny G-style saxophones.
