I really don't know what's going on with this album

I disagree. As a long time fan 'I Like It' onward was great for no other reason that it was the first time in a decade it seemed Enrique actually enjoyed and believed in the music he was putting out there. Whether that's because he thought it was a good creative direction or because he strongly felt that was hit material. Personally I think both I mean he fought Interscope over releasing 'I Like It' for two years. I doubt he'd have ever done that for a much of his previous material.

Besides you make it sound as if Pitbull actually had any input into those tracks beyond his rap. All the Enrique tracks that he has featured on were made independently of him. 'I Like It' was originally to feature a different rapper that apparently let him down. Pitbull stepped in at the last minute.


He's not working with Redone. That being said I kinda agree about Pitbull however I don't think it's too much of a problem. In regards to Enrique the general public are probably are only aware of 'I Like It' it's not like Jennifer were he's been front and center of three much hyped launch singles.

There's also something to be said that there seems to be genuine camaraderie between these artists.

Back when he released 'Finally Found You' he said that he was going to release lots of different songs before the actual album released. Seems to me they are just following that strategy.

Were it gets confusing how each has been marketed. Enrique repeatedly said he didn't view 'Turn The Night Up' as the real first single and he didn't promote it beyond a couple of radio interviews. However it had a Clear Channel deal and a social media push to get it a good start.

'Heart Attack' in comparison had Enrique performing it on a number of high profile TV shows and is generally comes off as getting the treatment a "proper" single gets yet lacks any of the behind the scenes push

Interestingly 'I'm a Freak' has been floating around since 'Finally Found You' was released. A bunch a radio DJs had heard it and pegged it as a huge hit in the making. I'm guessing Universal feel it's their trump card.

Well hopefully he has a "real" hit this time

HA is one of my favorites songs recently... so bad didn't do as well as I expected.

Let's see what happens with this one

All they have to do is play the cards right with this one. They need to push it on radio. And I hope they understood that Pop alone will not help...

It sounds bad and I've said this before, but his English is so weird and annoying. It's as if he's trying really hard to sound American by singing the words from the side of his mouth or something.

His power tbh.

Nawt Pitbull again.

Can Enrique and JLo just release a ****ing collab already?

And what single is this from his album now.

Finally Found You should have smashed.

There better be a JLo collab!!!

Enrique and J.LO need to stay away from both RedOne and Pitbull

I need official single cover

Like his last 10 singles... :|

That would be the best for sure

Not impressed, he can do so much better

Disappointing.

He needs to go back to his Escape sound.

WAIT this is actually good!

Yes, it's cheap, but it's actually really catchy and fun this time

Party hit

Let's be real, it's probably because they are Hispanic artists and Pitbull is more than happy to help a brother (and sister) out.

Anyway, the song is cute. I much prefer HA though.

I'd say this is along the lines of his Escape sound.

The Escape album was mostly fun uptempo pop numbers with somewhat of a dance production. This seems to me that sound transposed to the current definition.

I agree somewhat but I do think there's more to it than that. At the time that Enrique released 'I Like It' Pitbull had a two smash hits but was having difficulty following them up. He's also featured on a number of records with other singers which had flopped. He was really in no position to help anyone out. I'd argue at the time featuring on two high profile songs like 'I Like It' and 'DJ Got Us Falling In Love' actually helped establish him better.

For more than a decade Enrique seemed desperate to be seen as a popstar that happened to be Latin and not a latin or latin-pop singer, a difficult task considering Interscope seemed intent on him sticking with that sound and he seemed to avoid the idea he should be associating with other prominent Hispanic acts simply because he is latin. He seems to have relaxed his stance on these issues considerably recently but it's not like Enrique (or Jennifer for that matter) are short on choices for featured guests of a similar caliber that'd be willing to feature on their songs.

All this being said I do prefer 'Heart Attack'. He's performing on New Years Rockin' Eve and while on the one hand it would be good promo for 'I'm a Freak' I perhaps naively think he could still get a better position for 'Heart Attack'. He could perform them both I suppose then again there's a rumor his section will be pre-recorded anyway as he's supposed to be at Pitbull's NYE party that night. Although he could do both.
