Background and release
editIn February 2024, Tiago PZK released "Piel" with Ke Personajes, as the first preview of the album.[4] The singer stated that the album has been in development for a year and a half,[5] and that also during development they made more than 90 songs, but selected only 14 for the track-list.[2]
On 21 June 2024, Tiago PZK announced through his social networks the release date of the album, and also the list of songs and collaborations.[6]
Composition
editThe album is made up of 14 songs, with "Alegría" which was revealed and released a month after the album's release.[5] The album mixes various musical genres, such as reggaeton, merengue, latin trap, ballads, R&B and EDM.[7]
Songs
editThe album begins with the first track "Todas Las Estrellas" which begins in a romantic, nostalgic way and with certain regrets about the facts. Entering the song, the rhythm changes, as if "Tiago gave the microphone to Gotti A" and the rap, the bars and the spirit of battles with which PZK was known arrive, even using the double-tempo resource in certain cases.[5] It is followed by "Adicción", a salsa track with romantic lyrics that reflect the reality of those impossible loves.[5] The third track "De Vuelta" with Colombian singer Manuel Turizo, is also the focus track of the album.[5] A merengue song, it revolves around the themes of longing, regret, and desire for a past relationship.[8] The fourth track "I'm Blessed" with compatriot singer Trueno, is a trap and hip hop song while the lyrics celebrate gratitude and success while reflecting on the journey from humble beginnings to fame and fortune.[9] In addition, it is the third collaboration between both singers, after "Salimo de Noche" and the remix of "Hood". The fifth track "Alegría" featuring Brazilian singer Anitta and Argentinian Emilia, a song that had not been released until a month later. A funk carioca song with Portuguese lyrics, PZK declared that funk "is breaking it" and that when he showed the song to Emilia she loved it and then sent it to Anitta without knowing that she would also join the song.[5] The lyrics intricately weave themes of nighttime enjoyment, cultural celebration, and emotional openness through their lively lyrics and vivid imagery.[10] In "Party BB" with American singer Justin Quiles, it is a reggaeton song where the lyrics "breathe night, party, bowling and passion". Tiago had revealed that initially, Panamanian singer Sech was his first choice to join the song, but that Quiles' result was what he expected the most.[5] The song "Piel" by the Argentine cumbia group Ke Personajes, and the song would later become a hit, is a cumbia described as "sensual and confessional"[11] and the lyrics revolves around themes of love, connection and the desire to be with someone.[12] The eighth song "La Despedida" is a latin pop song that talks about a loving farewell and how to face a breakup, showing how difficult it is to continue and move on in life.[5] The ninth track "RCP" with compatriot singer Duki, is an EDM song and the lyrics convey the thematic elements of love, intense connection, longing and the transformative power of relationships.[13] The song also finds sounds that are reminiscent of the productions of Bizarrap, Martín Garrix or David Guetta.[5] The tenth track "Mi Corazón" has a calm melody that is combined with Tiago's melodic voice as it tells the story of a couple who, no matter how much they have tried, cannot return to what was before in their relationship, which ends up becoming in a breakup.[14] The eleventh track "Cristal" with compatriot singer Nicki Nicole, is an experimental R&B with lyrics that talk about infidelity, manipulation and resentment that is reflected in "crystal tears".[5] Tiago said in an exclusive that he had traveled to Sweden and that he had met with the singer to record the song and that it is undoubtedly one of his favorites on the album.[5] The twelfth track "Tony" is where the singer ventures into Argentine rhythms such as the chacarera. The entire song is accompanied by an acoustic guitar and the lyrics reflect on fame, respect and money.[5] In the song "Griselda", the same name as the song that the singer's mother has, it was written for her from the heart and tears as a tribute for everything she did for Tiago.[5] The album closes with "La Última" where in the song, you can hear the two best versions of Tiago and Gotti A, fused into a reggaeton with references to Bad Bunny and a Daddy Yankee sample. Additionally, it is the longest song on the album.[5]

editThe album's first single, "Piel" featuring Argentine cumbia band Ke Personajes, was released on February 1, 2024, and received widespread success.[15] It was preceded by the second single "Mi Corazón", released on May 23.[16] On July 4, with the release of the album, the third single "De Vuelta" was released with Colombian singer Manuel Turizo, and also considered the focus track of the album.[5] The following month, on August 8, the album's fourth single and missing song "Alegría" was released alongside Brazilian singer Anitta and Argentine singer Emilia, and it also turned out to be a hit.[17]
