Untitled

Independiente ("Independent") is the thirteenth studio album released by Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona on October 4, 2011. The album is the first by Arjona not to be directly released by Warner Music, instead being released by his own independent label, Metamorfosis Enterprises Inc., and then distributed by the former.[2]

The album became his fourth number-one set on the Billboard Top Latin Albums when it debuted atop the chart on the week ending October 22. Within a week of release, the album received a Gold certification in Chile, United States and Mexico; and Platinum certification in Venezuela and Argentina.[9] The album has been heavily promoted with TV appearances and shows, and a worldwide concert tour, the Metamorfosis World Tour. By the end of February 2012, Independiente has sold approximately 750.000 copies worldwide.[10]

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.[11] This new company, presided by Arjona and some friends, is based in Miami and Mexico City[12], and also includes the photographer and director Ricardo Calderón, Universal Music México's executive Humberto Calderon and BMG's Miriam Sommerz.[12][13]

Metamorfosis record label.

Although, the album is being distributed by Warner Music.[2] 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."[14]

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.[15]

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.[12]

Composition

Independiente was composed and written within the period of one year,[16] 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 Independiente, 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".[17]

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".[18] 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.[18]

Singles

The first single off Independiente is "El Amor", being released in August 23, 2011.[2] 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.[19] 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.[20]

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.[21] Arjona commented that "this video recreates the battle on the couple when someone starts to talk 'is the beginning of the end'."[22] 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".[7] Arjona wrote the song for his mother, Noemí Morales,[18] who told him she didn't like it because it make her cry.[7] The music video was filmed on the Universal Studios in Los Angeles, and is protagonized by himself and his son Ricardo Arjona Jr.[23] It was directed by Robert García.[23][7] 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.[24]

Allmusic[27]

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.[27]
