Enamorada de Ti
Enamorada de Ti (English: In Love with You) is the second remix album by American Tejano singer Selena. It was released posthumously on 3 April 2012 through Capitol Latin and Q-Productions. Enamorada de Ti was produced by Sergio Lopes, Leslie Ahrens, Andres Castro, Moggie Canazio, Cesar Lemons and Chilean record producer Humberto Gatica. Gatica had the idea of modernizing songs recorded by Selena into today's popular music genres. Selena's family had already been working on a similar idea, but they set it aside in favor of Enamorada de Ti, which had gained the approval of Capitol Latin. The selection of artists to sing duets with Selena began in late summer 2011. Gatica and Selena's family chose American singer and actress Selena Gomez, Puerto Rican singer Don Omar, Samuel "Samo" Parra from the Mexican rock band Camila, Mexican singer Cristian Castro, Spanish DJ mixer Juan Magan, and the Carlos Santana band, while the remaining songs selected were remixed.
Recording sessions began shortly after the selected artists had been chosen. Once Selena's family released confirmation of a duets album in January 2012, it quickly caught media attention. Gomez used her Twitter account to promote the album's release, a move that Gatica praised. Castro and Samo performed their respective duets from the album during the 2012 Latin Billboard Music Awards. The duet version of "Amor Prohibido" was released digitally on iTunes on 7 February 2012. It peaked at number eight on the US Billboard Latin Pop Airplay chart. Other songs on the album, including the title track (duet with Magan), "Como la Flor" (duet with Castro), "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" (duet with Gomez), and "Fotos y Recuerdos" (duet with Omar), entered the Billboard Latin digital charts for the first time since their original release in the 1990s.
Enamorada de Ti debuted and peaked at number one on the US Billboard Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums charts. It remained at number one on the latter for two consecutive weeks. After debuting and peaking at number 135 on the Billboard 200 chart, the recording slipped off the chart and never returned, as sales declined. Enamorada de Ti peaked at number 56 on the Mexican Albums Chart. The album received a mixed response from music critics, many of whom preferred the original recordings. Carlos Quintana of About.com named Enamorada de Ti one of the "Best Latin Music Albums of the Year, So Far" and one of the "Most Popular Albums of the Year" in 2012.
In 2008, Selena's brother and former principal record producer A.B. Quintanilla III, known as A.B., was planning to quit music and leave the Kumbia All Starz, the successor of Kumbia Kings. Their father and manager, Abraham Quintanilla, Jr., told A.B. that he did not want him to quit music, saying that his dream was that his children would continue in the music industry and never give up. In 2009, after performing to an enthusiastic crowd in Bolivia, A.B. decided to continue recording music.
A.B. and Abraham then planned to release an album featuring Selena, who was murdered in 1995 by her ex-employee Yolanda Saldivar. Their aim was to update Selena's music for the modern music industry. They intended to take vocals from five previously unreleased songs that Selena had recorded before signing a recording contract with Capitol Latin (then EMI Latin) in 1989. The vocals would then be combined into new songs to create a full-length album, as if Selena were still alive.
They announced their forthcoming project in the Spanish media, stating that they were choosing ten songs for the album and that it would be released in the fall of 2011 or early in 2012. In the end they created several more songs than they had planned. When asked if the album might be released in March 2012, marking the 17th anniversary of Selena's death, Abraham said that it was a possibility. Many media outlets called it a remix album. Abraham told the press that it would be released in five volumes, with ten tracks on each.
The projected album was to include five previously unreleased a cappella songs, which were remastered and remixed. Some of the songs in the album were to be duets with Tejano artists, who donated their time to record new tracks featuring Selena. The song "Soy Amiga" ("I'm A Friend"), which first appeared in 1986 on Selena's third LP record, Alpha, was transformed from a Spanish ballad into a modern cumbia recording. The album's central themes would be Abraham's influence on his children's love of music, and bringing Selena's music "back to life". Abraham began negotiating with Capitol Latin to help distribute and market the album throughout the United States.
In the fall of 2011, Chilean record producer Humberto Gatica and Capitol Latin senior vice president Sergio Lopes had the idea of turning Selena's songs into duets in popular music genres. In contrast to the Quintanilla family project, which had been using only Tejano artists, Gatica and Lopes wanted a diverse group. Forty-six artists and eight producers showed an interest in working on the project, and Gatica held a press conference with the Quintanilla family for their input. Abraham chose Selena Gomez to record "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" because of her live cover of the song during several of her concerts. Selena's sister Suzette Quintanilla, formerly drummer of Selena y Los Dinos, chose Samuel "Samo" Parra from the Mexican band Camila, saying that she chose him because she was a huge fan of Camila. Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Don Omar, Mexican singer Christian Castro, Spanish DJ mixer Juan Magan, and the Carlos Santana band were chosen by Capitol Latin. Other artists, such as Cuban American rapper Pitbull, Mexican singers Paulina Rubio and Thalía, Colombian singer Carlos Vives, and Cuban singer Gloria Estefan, were rejected for unspecified reasons, and many other artists could not part take in the project because of scheduling conflicts.
