Amarte Es un Placer (English: Loving You Is a Pleasure^[1]) is the thirteenth studio album by Mexican singer Luis Miguel. It was released by record label WEA Latina on 13 September 1999. Produced by Miguel, it is a pop album with R&B, pop ballad, and jazz influences. Miguel was more involved with the songwriting on this record than on earlier albums, and was assisted by other composers including Arturo Perez, Armando Manzanero, and Juan Carlos Calderón. Despite the popularity of his contemporaries such as Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias crossing over to the English-language market, Miguel preferred at the time to sing and record in Spanish.

Four singles were released to promote the album: "Sol, Arena y Mar", "O Tú o Ninguna", "Dormir Contigo", and the title track. Miguel embarked on the Amarte Es Un Placer Tour, performing in Spain, South America, Mexico, and the United States, which lasted from September 1999 into May 2000; it became the highest-grossing tour by a Spanish-speaking recording artist at the time.

Amarte Es un Placer debuted at number one in Spain and on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in the United States. It was certified gold in the United States, and achieved multi-platinum status in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Spain. The album had sold more than three million copies as of 2007. On its release, the record received mixed reviews from music critics; several praised the production as well as Miguel's vocals and the compositions, but others felt it did not differ from his earlier recordings and found the music outdated. Miguel received several accolades, including the Latin Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album and a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Performance.

Background

In 1997, Luis Miguel released his twelfth studio album Romances, the third record in his Romance series, in which he performs covers of classic Latin American boleros.^[2] It sold more than 4.5 million copies and won the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance in 1998.^[3]^[4] To promote Romances, he embarked on a tour of the United States, Latin America, and Spain lasting more than a year.^[5] By 1998, Miguel was among the most bestselling Latin artists internationally with his albums having sold more than 35 million copies worldwide.^[6] On October 1998, Mexican composer Armando Manzanero, who worked with Miguel on the Romance albums, confirmed that he was assisting with Miguel on a new project.^[7] After an absence of two years from the music business, Miguel announced on 19 July 1999 that he would release a new album by September.^[8] He indicated the upcoming album would be a return to pop recordings as opposed to the bolero cover versions he had recorded on the Romance series.^[9] The album's title, Amarte Es un Placer, was announced on 17 August 1999.^[10]

Miguel held a press conference at the Las Ventas building in Madrid, Spain on the album's launch date of 13 September 1999.^[11] Miguel confirmed that it was the first album where he was more involved in the tracks' composition: "Here something special was done, probably because I had more time to write a few things," he added.^[12] When asked why he opted not to record an English-language album as other Latin acts such as Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin had successfully done, Miguel replied: "I think that Spanish is a good language. I like my language and I really feel proud of it. I'm not saying that I won't do it in the future, sing in English, I mean. But it's just that it's not the right time for me. Why should I do it, just because everybody else is doing it?"^[12] He was also asked about the lack of a duet with his then-girlfriend, American singer Mariah Carey, to which he responded that he does not like to involve his personal life with his career; he did add that the music he performs is based on his feelings at the time, and hinted that the album's title was influenced by his relationship with Carey.^[12]^[13]

As well as co-writing several of the record's tracks, Miguel was assisted by other composers including Manzanero, Juan Carlos Calderón, and Arturo Perez.^[9]^[14] Recording took place at the A&M Studios, Cello Studios, Ocean Way Recording, Watersound, and the Record Plant in Hollywood, California with Miguel handling the productions himself.^[15]^[16]

Composition

Luis Miguel "O Tú o Ninguna"

A 19 second sample of Miguel's "O Tú o Ninguna", which was composed by Juan Carlos Calderón. The Orange County Register editor Daniel Chang describes it as a "tender bolero that defines Miguel's signature style of heart-melting charm and warmth."^[17]

Amarte Es un Placer is a pop album composed of twelve love songs, consisting mainly of orchestrated romantic ballads — and several uptempo numbers.^[1]^[16] Unlike his previous pop record Nada Es Igual... (1996), which featured dance music and hip-hop influences, Amarte Es un Placer's emphasis is on adult contemporary music.^[1] The opening track, "Tu Mirada" is a rock ballad with a guitar solo.^[19] Manzanero composed three ballads for the album: "Soy Yo", "Dormir Contigo", and "Ese Momento".^[19] "Ese Momento" deals with a "narrative account of the instance when two bodies merge in fiery passion".^[20] On "Dormir Contigo", the protagonist talks about the joy of sleeping with his love interest.^[6] "Sol, Arena y Mar" is a horn-driven uptempo track with jazz influences which describes the "pain of separation" of a love that "disappeared as quickly as the foam at the seashore".^[20]^[21]

"Quiero" is an R&B "groove" track which incorporates strings on its crescendo, a saxophone solo, and brass instruments.^[6] "Tú, Sólo Tú" is a disco-influenced mid-tempo "groove" song.^[6]^[19] "Dímelo en un Beso" is a pop ballad which also incorporates disco music.^[6]^[17] "O Tú o Ninguna" is a bolero composed by Calderón, while "No Me Fío" is reminiscent of a 1980s power ballad.^[1]^[17] "Te Propongo Esta Noche", the album's only dance number,^[1] begins as a "smooth" R&B track until it changes to percussion-driven club music halfway through the song.^[16]^[20] The album closes with the title track which features "dramatic orchestral sweeps" on the tune.^[18] The song caused a controversy when Mexican composer Marcos Lifshitz accused Calderón and Miguel of plagiarizing his composition "Siento nuestro aliento" which he wrote in 1997. A court ruled in favor of Lifshitz and ordered Miguel and his record label to pay 40 percent of the song's royalties as compensation.^[22]

Singles

"Sol, Arena y Mar" was released as the first single from Amarte Es un Placer on 19 July 1999.^[8] It peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs in the United States.^[23] A remix of the song by American DJ Danny Saber was also released as a single;^[24] it peaked at number two in Spain.^[25] "O Tú o Ninguna" was released as the album's second single on 6 September 1999,^[3] and it reached the top of the Hot Latin Songs chart in the US.^[23] A music video for the track was filmed in San Francisco, directed by Rebecca Blake.^[5] The third single, "Dormir Contigo", was released in January 2000 and peaked at number 11 on the Hot Latin Songs chart.^[26]^[23] In the same month, the music video for the fourth single, "Amarte Es un Placer", was filmed in Bel-Air, California, directed by Alberto Tolot.^[5] The title track peaked at number six on the Hot Latin Songs chart.^[23]

Promotion

To promote Amarte Es un Placer, Luis Miguel began his Amarte Es Un Placer Tour on 9 September 1999 in Gijón, Spain.^[27] In Madrid, he performed three sold-out shows,^[3] and spent a month touring in Spain. His performances in Barcelona, Marbella, and Tenerife were among the country's highest grossing shows of 1999.^[28] Miguel then toured South America where he performed in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and Venezuela.^[5]^[29] In Argentina, he drew more than 50,000 attendees at his concerts,^[30] and more than 101,800 spectators attended his eight shows in Chile, the largest audiences of the year for an artist.^[31] The first leg of the tour ended on 15 December 1999 in Maracaibo, Venezuela.^[32] A concert was planned for the San Jose Arena in California on New Year's Eve, but was canceled because the gross income would not meet Miguel's requirements.^[33]

Miguel commenced the second leg of his tour at the Centennial Garden in Bakersfield, California on 1 February 2000.^[34]^[35] Two days later, he performed at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, California for five consecutive nights drawing more than 24,000 spectators. In the same month, he performed four shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and grossed $1.4 million.^[36] He also appeared in Minneapolis on 12 February and in Fairfax on 14 February.^[37]^[38] Following his concerts at Radio City Music, Miguel performed 21 consecutive shows at the National Auditorium in Mexico City beginning on 24 February; beating the previous record of 20 set by Mexican group Timbiriche, and set the record for most attendees with an overall count of 255,000 patrons.^[39] The concerts drew more than 255,000 attendees, another record for the artist.^[39]

Miguel returned to touring in the United States on 24 March 2000, performed in several cities including Miami,^[40] Chicago,^[41] Atlantic City,^[42] and Houston.^[43] He later presented five shows in Monterrey, Mexico from 13 to 17 April 2000,^[44]^[45] and after a few more performances in the US, ended the tour in San Diego on 6 May 2000.^[46]^[47] Miguel had the 23rd highest-grossing tour in the country with more than $15.7 million earned from his 44 shows in the US.^[48] The tour was recognized by the William Morris Agency as the highest-grossing tour by a Spanish-speaking artist.^[49]

Miguel was accompanied by a 13-piece band during his tour which included horns, keyboards, guitars, and three female backup singers.^[37]^[50] His hour-and-a-half show consisted mainly of pop songs and ballads from Amarte Es un Placer and his earlier career, as well as medleys of boleros from the Romance-themed albums.^[51] During his concerts in Monterrey, he was joined by Cutbert Pérez's band Mariachi 2000 and performed live covers of Mario De Jesús Báez's "Y" and Rubén Fuentes "La Bikina".^[52] The shows included a large live-screen behind the stage and featured fireworks and confetti.^[37]

Of Miguel's performances in Los Angeles, The Orange County Register editor Daniel Chang commented that he "delivered a classy show that was as much fun to watch as it was to hear". Chang noted that Miguel "emotes a contagious energy through dramatic facial expressions, fetal-position-like contortions and physical outbursts in time with the music" and complimented his dance moves and the visual sets.^[53] Regarding his concert in Houston, Michael D. Clark of the Houston Chronicle said that Miguel "proved, once again, that it isn't necessary to change languages to reach U.S. audiences". He observed that Miguel seemed "determined to balance the upbeat with the overwrought" in contrast to his previous concerts, which were dominated by ballads. Clark was disappointed that the boleros were sung in medleys which did not allow any of them to stand out.^[43]

Jon Bream commented in the Star Tribune that Miguel's presentation in Minneapolis was "one of the most ambitious concert spectacles ever presented at the theater" and that the singer had a "captivating presence", but added that Miguel's music was "not particularly distinctive". He likened Miguel's uptempo songs to Earth, Wind & Fire albeit without the "rhythmic and jazzy sophistication", considered his ballads to be "conservative pop, bathed in synthesized strings with Chicago-like horn filigree," and felt let down by Miguel's choice to perform his boleros in medleys.^[37]

On 24 October 2000, WEA released the Vivo live album and video from Miguel's concerts in Monterrey.^[54] AllMusic editor Perry Seibert gave the video album two-out-of-five stars and criticized its lack of subtitles, closed captions, and supplemental materials, but stated that it should not "dissuade fans of Latino music from checking out this entertaining DVD from Warner Bros".^[55]

On its release, Amarte Es un Placer was met with mixed reviews from music critics. AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars, noting that from the title "one can deduce that the material consists of romantic music, mostly in the form of ballads". He felt that the horn sections on "Sol, Arena y Mar" and "Quiero" gave the songs a "jazzy, sophisticated, adult-leaning feel" and called "Te Propongo Esta Noche" "one of the album's most interesting songs". He criticized the inclusion of "overblown ballads", citing "No Me Fío" as an example. Promis called the production "flawless" and concluded that ballads are "what the fans have come to expect" from Miguel.^[1] John Lannert of Billboard magazine was not impressed with the record; he panned "Sol, Arena y Mar" as a "vapid, uptempo dance number". While Lannert regarded "Soy Yo" and "Dormir Contigo" as a "pair of moving romantic ballads" that could help the disc stay on top of the Billboard Latin charts, he opined that it was time for Miguel to record an English-language disc and have Carey and her producers assist with the album.^[58] Roger Catlin of the Hartford Courant felt that when the ballads "pile on", it was like a "Telemundo soap-opera overkill". Nonetheless, Catlin praised Miguel's "timing" on the uptempo songs and said his vocals makes the dance tunes more "exciting".^[59]

Houston Chronicle critic Joey Guerra gave the album two-and-a-half out of four stars, and he was underwhelmed with the production for sounding like Miguel's previous recordings. He recognized that Miguel was capable of handling love songs because of his "rich, deep voice" on songs such as "Tu Mirada", "Soy Yo", and "O Tú o Ninguna", but felt that Miguel "runs into trouble" on the dance tracks as he did on his prior albums. He chided "Sol, Arena y Mar" for its "tepid mix of blaring horns and uninspired lyrics" and said the other uptempo songs "don't fare any better"; he criticized the over usage of horns on every fast-paced track as "dated" and "repetitive".^[16] Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News wrote a more positive review of the album. He complimented "Te Propongo Esta Noche" and lauded the ballads such as "Dormir Contigo" and "Ese Momento" as "sensual and solemn". Tarradell closed his review by calling Amartes Es un Placer an "enjoyable balance between high-brow ballads and hardwood workouts".^[20] Miami Herald editor Leila Cobo was disappointed with the record. She expressed that while Miguel's vocals are still "dazzling", the production sounded "dated". She found "Tú, Sólo Tú" and "Dímelo en un Beso" to be "discoish duds that lack the oomph to get you on the dance floor". Cobo also commented the tracks suffer from a lack of "strong hooks or melodies" despite Miguel having the ability to "elevate pretty much any style". Even so, Cobo praised "Dormir Contigo" for its "few memorable lyrics" and "No Me Fío" for its arrangements.^[6]

Fred Shuster of the Los Angeles Daily News rated the record three out of the four stars and complimented the arrangements which he found to be "gorgeous". He felt the best tracks were the ones that Miguel co-wrote and highlighted "Sol Arena y Mar" and "O Tú o Ninguna" as standouts.^[14] The Los Angeles Times critic Ernesto Lechner gave the album two-and-a-half out of four stars, lamenting that it "continues Latin pop's disheartening search for the glossiest production imaginable". He found the ballads to be "drenched in orchestral accompaniment," although he commended Manzanero's compositions. Regardless, Lechner opined that the uptempo tracks "lack the sophistication that defines most pop today".^[56] Richard Torres, who wrote a more favorable review of the album for Newsday, stated that Amarte Es un Placer continues Miguel's talent of infusing "lushly orchestrated torch songs with genuine passion". He praised Miguel's vocals for being able to convey the "giddy rush of romance followed by the ache of love lost". He also admired the dance tunes for their musical styles and proclaimed the songs penned by Manaznero to be the best tracks.^[19]

Daniel Chang of the Orange County Register rated the album three-and-a-half out of five stars and touted the delivery of Miguel's voice as well as the songs which help him convey his message. Chang stated that "Even on weaker numbers, Miguel makes it work.".^[17] The San Diego Union-Tribune editor Ernesto Portillo, Jr. gave the disc three out of four stars. While he regarded "Sol, Arena y Mar" as a "jaunty pop tune that sounds vaguely like previous Miguel horn-driven numbers," he felt that Miguel excelled best on the ballads citing "Soy Yo" as precedent. He called the record the best outside of the Romance series.^[57] Eliseo Cardona writing for El Nuevo Herald noted that even though Miguel's musical style does not evolve, he still retains the finesse required to produce an album, and remarked that the jazz elements and the symphony work well on the album.^[60]

Accolades

At the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2000, Amarte Es un Placer received a nomination for Best Latin Pop Performance,^[61] which went to Tiempos by Rubén Blades.^[62] At the inaugural Latin Grammy Awards in the same year, Miguel won the Latin Grammy Award for Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance (for "Tu Mirada").^[63] Miguel did not attend the award ceremony and declined an invitation to perform.^[64] At the 12th Annual Lo Nuestro Awards, it was nominated for Pop Album of the Year,^[65] but lost to Supernatural by Santana.^[66]

At the 2000 Billboard Latin Music Awards, the album won the award for Pop Album of the Year by a Male Artist.^[67] Miguel received two nominations at the 2000 El Premio de la Gente in the categories of Male Pop Artist or Group and Album of the Year;^[68] he lost both awards to MTV Unplugged by Maná.^[69] In Argentina, he was nominated for Best Male Latin Artist and Best Latin Album for Amarte Es un Placer at the 2000 Premios Gardel and awarded Best Latin Album at the 1999 Premios Amigo in Spain.^[70]^[71] The record was nominated in the category of Best Pop Album by a Male Artist at the 1999 Premios Globos which was awarded to Ricky Martin's self-titled album.^[72]

 Jon Bream commented in the ''[[Star Tribune]]'' that Miguel's presentation in Minneapolis was "one of the most ambitious concert spectacles ever presented at the theater" and that the singer had a "captivating presence", but added that Miguel's music was "not particularly distinctive". He likened Miguel's uptempo songs to [[Earth, Wind & Fire]] albeit without the "rhythmic and jazzy sophistication", considered his ballads to be "conservative pop, bathed in synthesized strings with Chicago-like horn filigree," and felt let down by Miguel's choice to perform his boleros in medleys.<ref name="orpheum"/>

-On its release, ''Amarte es un placer'' was met with mixed reviews from music critics. [[AllMusic]] editor Jose F. Promis  gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars,&nbsp; noting that from the title "one can deduce that the material consists of romantic music, mostly in the form of ballads". He felt that the horn sections on "Sol, arena y mar"&nbsp; and "Quiero"&nbsp; gave the songs a "jazzy, sophisticated, adult-leaning feel" and called {{nowrap|"Te propongo esta noche"}} "one of the album's most interesting songs".

+On its release, ''Amarte Es un Placer'' was met with mixed reviews from music critics. [[AllMusic]] editor Jose F. Promis  gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars,&nbsp; noting that from the title "one can deduce that the material consists of romantic music, mostly in the form of ballads". He felt that the horn sections on "Sol, Arena y Mar"&nbsp; and "Quiero"&nbsp; gave the songs a "jazzy, sophisticated, adult-leaning feel" and called {{nowrap|"Te Propongo Esta Noche"}} "one of the album's most interesting songs".

-''Houston Chronicle'' critic Joey Guerra gave the album two-and-a-half out of four stars, and he was underwhelmed with the production for sounding like Miguel's previous recordings. He recognized that Miguel was capable of handling love songs because of his "rich, deep voice" on songs such as "Tu&nbsp;mirada", "Soy yo", and "O tú o ninguna", but felt that Miguel "runs into trouble" on the dance tracks as he did on his prior albums. He chided "Sol, Arena y Mar" for its "tepid mix of blaring horns and uninspired lyrics" and said the other uptempo songs "don't fare any better"; he criticized the over usage of horns on every fast-paced track as  "dated" and "repetitive".<ref name="guerra"/> Mario Tarradell of ''[[The Dallas Morning News]]'' wrote a more positive review of the album. He complimented "Te propongo esta noche" and lauded the ballads such as "Dormir&nbsp;contigo" and "Ese momento" as "sensual and solemn".
