Historias de un Capricornio (English: Stories of a Capricorn) is the fourth studio album by American reggaeton singer Arcángel. The album was released on December 20, 2019, through Rimas Entertainment and contains collaborations with Ozuna, Bad Bunny, Manuel Turizo, Dímelo Flow, Sech, and Myke Towers.

Background[edit]

Following the release of his third studio album Ares, Arcángel would end his longtime contract with Pina Records in 2019.[1][2] Through interviews with the singer relating to his then-upcoming album, he mentioned that the album would be dedicated to his mother, and the album would contain appearances by Ozuna, Bad Bunny, and Manuel Turizo, whom Arcángel did not specify at the time.[3]

That same year, the singer would also be involved in various controversies, a court case for domestic violence in April 2019, having a heart attack in September 2019,[4] and an incident that led to the death of Latin trap singer Kevin Fret, whom Arcángel mentioned that they were friends.[5][6]
