14 DAY TRIAL // Enrique Iglesias is preparing for the release of a brand new album, his first material that will be released in bilingual edition. Though the album does not have a name yet, it will be released this summer and fans can already get a taste of it with the single “Cuando Me Enamoro” and the English version, “I Like It.” The latter leaked over the weekend and will hit radio today, Gather informs.
“Cuando Me Enamoro” dropped on April 26 and is already available for purchase on iTunes. The English version is a collaboration with Pitbull and even includes a cameo from none other than Lionel Richie, with whom Enrique joined forces once before for a track. The leaked song, also available below, does not have the cameo from Richie yet, but it is believed it will be included for the radio version, which goes into heavy rotation today.
“We have all new music from Enrique Iglesias. The all-new dance track that features Pitbull is set to hit radio stations on Monday, but the song was leaked on the Internet early Saturday morning. The song titled I Like It also includes a cameo performance by Lionel Richie. He performed a bit of his classic 80s song, All Night Long, to be included in the song,” Gather writes.
“The song is a first single off his next to be released album. He has been writing new material for the effort for the last four years apparently. Enrique had the following to say about the process: ‘I can’t wait to finish making this album. It’s like nothing I’ve ever done before. It taps into so many different styles of music – it’s been really exciting for me to experiment and explore new territory’,” the same e-zine writes.
In a press release that started to circulate a few days before the leak of the track, Enrique himself describes his upcoming album as the most eclectic to date, saying it will certainly surprise fans. At the same time, he says the experience of tapping into so many different styles and sounds was truly an incredible one. Fans get a first taste of Enrique’s new material thanks to “I Like It,” which is bound to go straight to number 1 in dance charts, the same press release says.
