Background

edit

After signing with D'Leon Records in June 2014, Reyes released her debut single "Muévelo" and scheduled the release her first album for early 2015.[1][2] From that date to January 2017, the singer released three more singles, one promotional single and featured on Cash Cash's "How To Love" and Spencer Ludwig's "Diggy". In November 2016, it was announced that Reyes' debut studio album would be titled Louder and that it would be dropped in February 2017.[3]

Singles

edit

Reyes' debut single "Muévelo" was released on August 22, 2014 and featured guest vocals from Puerto Rican rapper Wisin. Reyes co-wrote the "nightclub-friendly anthem" with Wisin, Toby Gad, Lil' Eddie, Eritza Laues, Marissa Jack, and Slikk.[4] The song peaked at number 25 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and at number 18 on the Mexico Airplay chart. In Spain, it peaked at number 13 and was certified platinum.[5]

"Conmigo (Rest of Your Life)" was released as the album's second single in early 2016. The song has been described as "a breezy, bilingual pop record with an R&B sensibility" and was written and produced by Romanian producer Andrei Mihai, Nuyorican Lil' Eddie and Reyes.[6]

The third single, "Solo Yo", which features American singer Prince Royce, was released on January 28, 2016. With "Solo Yo", Reyes became the first solo lead female act to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Latin Pop Songs chart in five years. The last time a woman crowned the chart was in 2011 when Jennifer Lopez spent five weeks atop the chart with "Ven A Bailar".[7] An English version of the song titled "Nobody But Me" was released on March 3, 2016.

On October 21, 2016, Reyes released "Llegaste Tú" featuring Reykon as the album's fourth single.

Promotional singles

edit

"Louder! (Love Is Loud)" featuring Canadian artist Francesco Yates and trumpeter Spencer Ludwig, was released as a promotional single on September 2, 2016. The "upbeat and energetic Spanglish track" was the theme song for Garnier Fructis Mexico #NoCortes campaign.[8]
