Pau-Latina
Pau-Latina is the seventh studio album by Mexican singer Paulina Rubio, released on February 10, 2004, by Universal Latino. Musically, Rubio wanted to make a "futuristic folk" or a "cocktail of different music genres", thus incorporating eclectic latin music in its sound with instrumentation from techno beats, guitars, drums, synthesizers, strings and Spanish guitars musical instruments. Its themes range from love, dancing, friendship and feminist. Contributions to the album's production came from a wide range of producers, including Emilio Estefan, Chris Rodríguez, Toy Hernández, Marcello Acevedo and Sergio George.
Upon its release, the album received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who complimented its production and they considered it as the "follow-up" of her album Paulina (2000). Pau-latina debuted atop the Latin Albums Billboard charts in the United States, and was certified double Latin Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album sold at least 500,000 copies worldwide, making Rubio the best-selling Latin artist of 2004.
Four singles were released from the album. It became Rubio's most successful era in the US Latin charts, being her first album to score four top-ten singles on the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs, with "Te Quise Tanto", "Algo Tienes", "Dame Otro Tequila" and "Mía", two of these peaking at numbers one. Rubio promoted the album with television performances and the Pau-Latina Tour.
Rubio first expressed her intent to re-record an "entire album in Spanish" at the Spanish press release of her first and only English album to date, Border Girl, in June, 2002. She also revealed she wanted to collaborate with Manu Chao and Armando Manzanero, who composed the ballad "Tal Vez, Quizá", for her fifth studio album, Paulina (2000). Jorge Villamizar, lead member of Bacilos, told Billboard in September 2003, he co-wrote a track with her wife, Sandra Uribe, for Rubio's upcoming album. He revealed the name of the song: "Perros", and said the singer record it in English and Spanish. In January 2004, a month before the album's release, Argentine composer Ferra announced she and Reyli Barba wrote Rubio a song called "Amor Secreto", "a bolero, and the story is tender, very romantic. The song was chosen by Paulina and adaptations were made to it that she suggested."
Pau-Latina marks Rubio's return to the Spanish-language market after her English debut album. For the production of the album, she collaborated with songwriters and producers Chris Rodríguez, M. Benito, Andrés Levin, Ileana Padrón, Coti, Marco Antonio Solís, Jorge Villamizar, Emilio Estefan, Ricardo Gaitán, Alberto Gaitán, Reyli, Tim Mitchell, Claudia Brant, and Richard Vission. Also, it is the second time, since Planeta Paulina, that Rubio participates as a songwriter in three of the album's tracks: "My Friend, Mi Amigo", "Baila Que Baila" and "Dame Tu Amor".
Pau-Latina was released on 10 February 2004. The cover art of the album, as well as other promotion shoots, show Rubio covered in intense colors such as Mexican pink, red, orange and purple. She wears folklore skirts, a rose pin in her blonde hair, and shiny rings. Rubio showed a style that highlights her roots as a Latin woman, although she added glamor to her outfits.
"Te Quise Tanto" was released on December 22, 2003 as the lead single from Pau-Latina. Universal Latino moved up the release date because the song was illegally leaked on the Internet. It garnered critical acclaim, with Rubio's fresh vocal interpretation delivery receiving particular praise.
