Contents

33 was met with unfavorable reviews by some music critics for having similar music styles to Miguel's previous pop records. 33 received a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Album and a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Album. The record reached number one in Argentina, Spain, and the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in the United States. By 2004, it had sold more than 2.5 million copies.

Background

In 2002, Luis Miguel released Mis Boleros Favoritos , a compilation album featuring boleros from the Romance series. [1] He held a press conference in October 2002 in Spain to promote the album. During the conference, Miguel mentioned that his next studio album would be a pop record and would feature original songs. He also expressed interest in combining pop and bolero for his next project. [2] Miguel had begun enlisting composers for the new album on the previous month. [3] The album's title, 33, was announced on 3 September 2003. [4] Regarding the album's title, Miguel commented: "It is a very personal reflection of me and a way to share it with my fans. It is the demonstration of a different era of my life and it is to inform what someone with this age may be going through." [5] It was recorded in Hollywood, California and produced by Miguel. [6]

Composition

33 is a pop album with musical styles similar to his previous records Aries (1993) and Amarte Es un Placer (1999). [7] Of the eleven tracks on the record, six are pop ballads and five are uptempo numbers. Miguel enlisted the help of songwriters such as Armando Manzanero, Kike Santander and Juan Luis Guerra with several of the compositions in the album. [8] Manzanero composed three ballads for the record: "Un Te Amo", "Nos Hizo Falta Tiempo", and "Ahora Que Te Vas". Miguel also covers Manzanero's "Que Tristeza". [9] On "Un Te Amo", the protagonist appreciates the "small blessings" from his lover. [10] "Ahora Que Te Vas" involves the singer coping with a missed opportunity and having to come to terms with loss. [11] Santander composed two songs: "Y Sigo" and "Devuélveme el Amor". "Y Sigo" is an uptempo number which "contrasts with the song's lyrics of lost love" while "Devuélveme el Amor" has the singer visit "his old friends solitude and desperation". [8] [10]

"Con Tus Besos" is a 1970s-influenced "R&B-tinged, tropical-disco number" with horns on the background. [12] [7] "Eres" and "Vuelve" are uptempo tunes with the same musical style as well. [12] "Te Necesito", composed by Guerra, is a "bouncy, airy pop" song with "finger-snapping beats" and vocals backed by Take 6. [7] [10] The album closes with the ballad "Que Hacer". [12]

"Te Necesito" was released as the album's first single on 3 September 2003; [4] it reached on the top of Billboard 's Hot Latin Songs chart in the United States.

[14] The album's second single, "Un Te Amo", was released on 19 November 2003, [15] and peaked at number 30 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. [13] [16] "Vuelve" was released as a promo single in Mexico in 2003. [17]

Following his performances in Mexico City, he made recitals in the country, singing in Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Tijuana. [22] His concerts at the National Auditorium grossed over $12 million.

An editor for AllMusic rated 33 four-out-of-five stars noting the uptempo songs projected "images of a Spanish Solid Gold-like variety show" and felt that Miguel "delivers" on ballads "Nos Hizo Falta Tiempo," "Ahora Que Te Vas," and "Que Hacer" as examples. [12] The Chicago Sun-Times critic Laura Emerick gave the album 2.5-out-four stars commenting that while Manzanero "drafted some dropdead gorgeous stunners" ballads, she mentioned that they are "smothered under the usual blanket of heavy strings and synthesizers". [28] Alejandro Riera of the Chicago Tribune called 33 Miguel's "weakest album". He panned the album's arrangements as "cheesy, awkward and tedious" and felt they drown the "sincerity" of the lyrics in the record. [11]

The Dallas Morning News critic Mario Tarradell gave the record a "C" rating for having similar arrangements to Miguel's previous pop albums. Tarradell compared "Con Tus Besos" to "Suave" from Aries and "Sol, Arena y Mar" from Amarte Es un Placer (1999) with its "same horns, percussion and soaring chorus". He also regarded the ballads as "all identical". [7] Hiram Soto of The San Diego Union-Tribune rated the album 2.5-out-of-four stars and stated that 33 "re-emphasizes the singer's limitations of recording either pop or boleros" and called it a "safe bet". He praised "Te Necesito" as the record's best track and complimented Santander's composition of "Y Sigo" as "memorable", but found the arrangements of "Ahora Que Te Vas" and "Que Tristeza" to be "sickly". [8] San Antonio Express-News reviewer Ramiro Burr gave the album three-out-of-four stars and praised the production on the record and Miguel's vocals. He called "Un Te Amo" "classy", "Te Necesito" a "dance fun" number, and complimented the "energetic singalong choruses" on "Con Tus Besos". [10]

At the 46th Annual Grammy Awards in 2004, 33 received a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Album which was awarded to No Es lo Mismo by Alejandro Sanz. [29] [30] At the 5th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in the same year, it was nominated for Best Male Pop Vocal Album, [31] which was also given to No Es lo Mismo. [32] It was also nominated for Latin Pop Album of the Year by a Male Artist at the 2004 Billboard Latin Music Awards, [33] but lost to Almas del Silencio by Ricky Martin. [34]

Commercial performance

In the United States, 33 debuted on the top of the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart on the week of 18 October 2003; [35] it spent three weeks in this position. [36] It also peaked at number 43 on the Billboard 200 chart and topped the Latin Pop Albums chart. [37] [38] The album was certified double platinum in the Latin field by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipping 200,000 units. [39] 33 was the bestselling album of 2003 in Mexico and was certified quintuple platinum by AMPROFON for shipping 500,000 copies.
