OLDIES SUNDAY: @PrinceRoyce – Corazón Sin Cara (2010)

Posted on by swadedavillain

September 15 kicked off “Hispanic Heritage Month” in the United States. Hispanic Americans made significant contributions from entertainment, to sports, to pop culture, and we highlight a number of them on Oldies Sunday. Today, we check out Dominican American Singer Prince Royce and his single, “Corazón Sin Cara“.

Produced by Andrés Hidalgo, Sergio George, and Eduardo Aguilar, Prince Royce’s “Corazón Sin Cara” was released through Top Stop Music in 2010. The Bachata track, which is translated to “Heart Without A Face/Love Is Blind“, was aimed at Women who dealt with low self-esteem, reassuring that it’s not about what they need to wear or how they need to look to someone, as love and attraction to someone is for the most part attributed to their true self, the morals they possess, and there is someone who will see the best in them in every way. The materialistic part is ok, but not the be-all and end-all. The track quickly became a hit for Royce, enjoyed placements on the Billboard US Latin charts, and Latino charts in Venezuela, and between its release and early 2011 was the most requested Latin single on US Radio. The track was featured on Royce’s self-titled debut album, and went on to go Gold in Italy, and 26x Platinum in Latin America. He also released a “2.0” version of the track for Amazon in 2022.

Since the release of “Corazón Sin Cara”, Prince Royce enjoyed a successful career that secured various awards, selling Gold, Platinum, and Diamond records, dabbling in TV/Film, and became of the more successful Latin Artists. “Corazón Sin Cara” remains his signature song.

OLDIES SUNDAY: @Aventura – Obsesión (2002)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Month of June is recognized as “Caribbean American Heritage Month“, and on “Oldies Sunday“, we want to highlight a few Artists who are a part of this. Today’s selection comes from the Dominican-American Bachata band Aventura with the single, “Obsesión“.

Produced by Franklin Romero and released through Premium Latin Music in 2002, “Obsesión” was Aventura’s lead single off of their 2nd official album, “We Broke The Rules“. The track is about a Man who likes a Woman, but it is not of love, and it has gone to the point of obsession. The smooth production compliments the vocals provided by the duo of Lead Vocalist Romeo Santos, and Singer Judy Santos, and was sung in Spanish. “Obsesión” became a hit for Aventura, topping charts in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, and selling Gold in Austria, Platinum in Belgium, Germany, and Italy, and Diamond in France. The track helped to break barriers, modernizing the Bachata sound. An English version of “Obsesión” was featured on “We Broke The Rules” along with an EP featuring various remixes followed in 2002. A Radio remix was released in 2004. It was also covered by the likes of Frankie J, 3rd Wish, and Tropical Family.

Since the release of “Obsesión”, Aventura (consisting of Romeo, Henry, Max, and Lenny Santos) went on to become the “Kings of Modern Bachata“, and becoming the first major Bachata band to have originated in the US (The Bronx, New York). Lead Vocalist Romeo Santos went on to have a very successful Music career, and has reunited and performed with the band a number of times over the years. The band has also released more albums and singles over the years, and they’re currently promoting their latest single, “Brindo Con Agua“, which was released in April 2024. They are recognized during “Caribbean American Heritage Month” for their Dominican (and Puerto Rican via Romeo’s Mother) background. “Obsesión” is still played and loved to this day.

Thank You Aventura For This Hit!
