Fórmula, Vol. 1 is the debut studio album by American singer Romeo Santos, released on November 8, 2011, by Sony Music Latin.

The album experiments with the sound of bachata and other genres including R&B and flamenco. It features several Anglophone and Hispanophone guest artists including Usher, Tomatito, Mario Domm, and Lil Wayne. Recording for the album took place in 2011 at The Castle, Fight Klub, and EMG Studios in New York City.

In the U.S., Formula, Vol. 1 peaked at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums and Billboard Tropical Albums charts and was the best-selling Latin album of 2012. It was certified three times platinum (Latin field) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipping 300,000 copies and had sold 328,000 copies in the U.S. by February 2014. It ranked number thirteen, twenty-six, and seventy-seven on the Argentine, Mexican, and Spanish album charts respectively.

Santos promoted the record by touring the U.S., Latin America and Europe. It was generally well received by critics, who praised the production of the bachata tracks although some of the duets—including those with Mario Domm and Mala Rodríguez—were criticized as obvious attempts to appeal outside of the bachata audience. The album earned Santos several accolades, including a Grammy Award nomination, three Billboard Latin Music Awards, a Billboard Music Award, a Lo Nuestro nomination, a Premios Juventud award, and a Soberano Award. Six singles were released from the record, four of which, "You", "Promise", "Mi Santa", and "La Diabla", reached number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in the U.S.

Background

edit

Romeo Santos began his career as the lead member of Aventura, an urban bachata infused band.[2] The band rose to popularity in the 2000s, has sold over 1.7 million albums in the U.S., and had the best-selling Latin album of 2009, The Last.[3] Soon after the band's separation in early 2011,[4] Santos signed a record deal with Sony Music Latin and Jive Records to record his debut solo album, Formula, Vol. 1.[3] According to his manager Johnny Marines, the contract was worth US$10,000,000.[5] Santos felt that the record was a continuation of his career rather than a new beginning.[6]

Composition

edit
 
American singer Usher (left) performed "Promise", a bilingual bachata song where Usher performs in English and Santos in Spanish.
 
Mexican singer Mario Domm (right) performed with Santos, "Rival", a pop ballad song.

Formula, Vol. 1 contains fifteen tracks, most of which were written by Romeo Santos and co-produced by Ivan Chevere.[2][6] Santos said he intended to write more English-language recordings on the album but did not want to stray far from his musical origins.[3] The songs were recorded at The Castle, Fight Klub, and EMG Studios in New York City.[6]

The album begins with a skit featuring American comedian George Lopez, in which Santos confesses his "sins" about his fortune and fame to a priest played by Lopez.[7] The first song "La Diabla" ("She-Devil") is a bachata track about a man who regrets making a deal with a she-devil after losing the game of love.[6] The third song, "Que Se Mueran" ("Let Them Die"), attacks the public for their criticism of the age difference between lovers.[8] "Mi Santa" ("My Saint") incorporates elements of bachata and flamenco, and features Spanish guitarist Tomatito.[9]

"Promise" is a bilingual bachata tune that features American singer Usher and was produced by Rico Love. Santos said the collaboration was his idea, and that Usher enjoyed the duet despite not speaking Spanish.[10] "Debate de 4" ("Battle of 4") features Dominican bachata musicians Antony Santos, Raulín Rodríguez, and Luis Vargas, who also feature in a skit preceding the track.[11] "You" is a bilingual bachata record and was the first composition written for the album.[3][12]

"Magia Negra" ("Black Magic") is a mixture of bachata and hip hop music, and features Spanish rapper Mala Rodríguez.[13] "Rival" is a ballad duet with Mario Domm, the lead singer of Mexican band Camila.[14] It was recorded at Ocean Way Recording in Los Angeles. "All Aboard" is a hip hop track, featuring American rapper Lil Wayne and produced by Rico Love.[3][15] Santos said he approached Wayne after writing the song.[16]

Three men from the audience were selected to perform "Debate de 4" with Santos.[33] The tour opened with three consecutive shows—two of which sold out—at Madison Square Garden.[32][34] The concerts at Madison Square Garden were recorded and later released as a live album titled The King Stays King: Sold Out at Madison Square Garden on November 6, 2012.[35] By May 2012, the tour ranked at number five on the Top 20 Concert Tours grossing over US$749,885 in the country according to Pollstar.[36]

The Washington Postfavorable[56]

Thorn Jurek of Allmusic gave the album a positive review, and called "You" an "easy summertime groove" and "Promise" a "shimmering duet".[11] He also wrote that Santos's mix of genres creates "an intoxicating brew."[11] Mikael Wood of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B rating and wrote that Santos' "solo aspirations include cracking the R&B mainstream", and that the album "generally sticks to the successful blueprint advertised by [its] title."[54] An editor for Terra Networks gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, noting that while Santos takes risks with the sound and collaborates with other artists from different genres, the bachata tracks sound alike in the production.[55] Peter Margasak of the Chicago Reader wrote a positive review for the album, describing the album as a successful "balancing act between past and present".[53] He said the production of the album "gives everything vivid colors and gauzy textures",[53] but that some songs—including the duets "Magia Negra," with Mala Rodríguez and "Rival" with Mario Domm—were "less-than-convincing detours", describing the former as a "throbbing EDM" and the latter as "treacly power balladry".[53] Sarah Godfrey of the Washington Post gave the album a favorable review, admiring Santos for appealing to the Anglophone market without the need to "sell out bachata die-hards", citing "Promise" as the main example.[56] Godfrey said Santos retains his style on the duet "All Aboard", and that the collaborations were "obviously meant to pull in folks who’ve never heard of Aventura".[56] She praised the compositions, including "La Diabla" and "La Bella y Bestia", which she said are "impossible to resist, whether one understands all of the lyrics or not."[56]

At the 19th Billboard Latin Music Awards, Formula, Vol. 1 was nominated for Album of the Year, Digital Album of the Year, and Tropical Album of the Year.[57] At the 20th Billboard Latin Music Awards, the record received the three aforementioned awards.[58] It was also recognized as the Top Latin Album of the Year at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards and earned a nomination in the same category the following year.[59][60] At the 2012 Juventud Awards, the album won a "Lo Toco Todo (I Play Every Song)" award and a nomination for the promotional tour for the album.[61] At the 55th Grammy Awards, Formula, Vol. 1 received a nomination for Best Tropical Latin Album, which was awarded to Marlow Rosado and La Riqueña for his album Retro.[62] At the 25th Lo Nuestro Awards in 2013, the record was nominated for Tropical Album of the Year, but lost to Phase II by Prince Royce.[63][64] In the Dominican Republic, the record was awarded Album of the Year at the 2013 Soberano Awards.[65] At the 2013 Mexican Oye! Awards, it was nominated for Urban Album of the Year by a Soloist or Group.[66]

It contains all the tracks including the 5 extra songs from the Walmart deluxe edition.[70] In the U.S., the album debuted and peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200 chart and debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums and the Billboard Tropical Albums charts.[71][72][73] 65,000 copies were sold in its first week, making it the biggest debut sales for a Latin album since El Cartel: The Big Boss by Daddy Yankee in 2007.[56] It was at number one for seventeen non-consecutive weeks on the Top Latin Albums chart, and thirty non-consecutive weeks on the Tropical Albums chart.
