It also reached the top of the Latin Rhythm Albums chart, being his first appearance on the chart since Mas Flow: Los Benjamins in 2006. In Spain, the album debuted at the top of the chart.

Background

Tainy came to prominence at age 15 when he collaborated in Luny Tunes's album Mas Flow: Los Benjamins (2006), where he worked with various reggaeton artists such as Wisin & Yandel, Don Omar and Arcángel, among others. [3] During the 2000s, he produced albums like Wisin vs. Yandel: Los Extraterrestres (2007), Daddy Yankee's El Cartel: The Big Boss (2007) and Arcángel's El Fenómeno (2008), furthering his career as a producer within the reggaeton industry. [4]

In 2021, Tainy released his debut studio album Dynasty , a collaborative album with Puerto Rican singer Yandel. [5] The same year, he released "Lo Siento BB:/", a collaboration with Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny and Mexican musician Julieta Venegas, the song would eventually become the first single for Data. [6] According to Tainy, the album took around three years to make, with the first ideas for the album coming after a trip to Tulum, Mexico. [7] Most of the recording for the album took place in Miami with additional recording in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Spain, New York, Los Angeles and Kioto. [8] The album consists of several collaborations with reggaeton artists that Tainy had previously worked with such as Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny and Wisin & Yandel, among others, as well as non-reggaeton artists like Julieta Venegas and the Marías, and emerging Latin acts like Young Miko, Álvaro Díaz and Kris Floyd. Tainy said that "Data is a representation of who I am as a person and as a music fan, being able to have my own album is very special, I'm putting my all into this, everything I've learned since I started working with the people I admire". [9]

In 2023, after the released of the album's third single "Obstáculo", Tainy announced the release date for the album. [10] On 16 June 2023, he shared the tracklist via his Instagram. The post showed a tracklist composed of twenty songs including "Colmillo", featuring Colombian singer J Balvin, Puerto Rican rapper Young Miko and Puerto Rican duo Jowell & Randy, as the tenth track. [11] "Colmillo" was discarded from the album, lowering the final number of tracks to nineteen. [12] However, "Colmillo" was later added on the album and released as the 6th single on October 11, 2023, completing the album.

Singers Myke Towers (left), Rauw Alejandro (center) and Arcángel (right) appear in multiple songs in the album.

The album is composed of nineteen tracks, each featuring at least one artist. Some singers make multiple appearances in the album such as Myke Towers ("Obstáculo" and "Pasiempre"), Rauw Alejandro ("Volver" and "Sci-Fi"), Sech ("11 y Once" and "La Baby"), Jhayco ("Pasiempre" and "Fantasma | AVC"), Arcángel ("Pasiempre" and "Me Jodí...") and Bad Bunny ("Mojabi Ghost", "Lo Siento BB:/" and "Pasiempre", the latter uncredited). About the collaborations, Tainy said "I wanted to pay homage to some of the first artists who gave me a chance", referring to the artists with whom he worked at the beginning of his career. [8]

Data deals with themes of success, struggle and technology. "Pasiempre" features lines about success within the music industry as well as having a lasting career as an artist. In the song, Arcángel raps the line: "Because I'm not an artist of the moment, I'm an artist forever". [13] In the same song, Bad Bunny, who makes an uncredited appearance, references Tainy's career mentioning his influence in reggaeton music while also giving a shout-out to Nely el Arma Secreta and Luny Tunes, producers that helped bring Tainy into the industry. [4] [14] Similarly, in the opening track "Obstáculo", Myke Towers raps about the struggles in life and the obstacles he had to overcome throughout his career. [10] [4] In the closing track "Sacrificio", which has been called the "most personal song in the album", rapper Xantos talks about the sacrifices one has to do to succeed. [13] [4] Technology makes appearances throughout the album specifically in relation to human connections. In "Fantasma | AVC", Jhayco raps about "getting ghosted in a relationship in which you'd like to go further", while in "En Visto", which can be translated to "On Read", Ozuna sings about the feeling of missing someone and wanting to reconnect with them. [15]

Mainly a reggaeton album, Data explores various genres and musical influences. "Pasiempre", blends hip hop with experimental and electronic sounds towards the end, [16] "Todavía", a minimalistic "classic reggaeton song" [7] [4] and "En Visto", described as "one of the more reggaeton sounding songs of the album". [4] Poppier sounds appear in "Mojabi Ghost", which mixes reggaeton and electro-pop with 80s new wave influences [15] [4] and "Paranormal", a mix of electro-pop and "spacey effects". [4] More electronic songs are "Fantasma | AVC", which contains drum and bass elements [16] and "Volver", which features an EDM beat. [8] Finally, urban influences appear in the R&B-infused "Si Preguntas por Mí" [16] and "Sci-Fi", a fusion of pop, space electronic, and Spanish R&B. [4]

The album also features more slower and atmospheric songs such as "11 y Once", a "heartfelt slow perreo" [4] that features electric guitars and puts enphasis on Sech's voice while also using robotic effects to represent the fusion between technology and human emotions, [16] [15] "mañana", a pop ballad with trap influences, [16] "Me Jodí...", an old school hip-hop song that features "smooth synths and spacey oriental inspired strings" [4] and the stripped "Sacrificio", whose instrumental feature violins and a classical piano. [4]

Concept

The album explores the themes of human connections and technology. Its name comes from the idea of music and songs as informacion that we receive, "data" that shapes the way we are. In response to that, Tainy envisioned the album as a film about a cyborg named Sena who comes to life through songs. [8] [17] Continuing the idea, Tainy has said that the album "serves as a series of uploads that ultimately bring a cyborg named Sena to life". [18] The cover art features Sena, a pink haired android that seems to have come to life, it was designed by Stillz, Elliot Muscat and Hiromasa Ogura, the latter of whom was the art director of Mamoru Oshii's 1995 animated film Ghost in the Shell . Sena also appears in the music video of "Lo Siento BB:/" as well as in the cover art for the single. [17] [7]

Its music video, shot in New York City in March 2022, was directed by Mexican director Fernando Lugo and depicts "futuristic visuals" in which both artists perform the track in a "dystopian-looking stage" and a "video game-like setting." It was written by Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny and Puerto Rican producers Juan "Gaby Music" Rivera, Ovimael "OMB" Maldonado and Tainy, and was produced by Daddy Yankee and Tainy.

"Tarot" is a song by Puerto Rican singers and rappers Bad Bunny and Jhayco from the former's fifth studio album Un Verano Sin Ti (2022), on which it appears as the seventh track. It was released on May 6, 2022, by Rimas Entertainment alongside the rest of the album. The song was written by the performers while its production was handled by Tainy, La Paciencia, Albert Hype and Jota Rosa. This marks the fourth time Bad Bunny and Jhayco collaborated each other, following the remix version of "No Me Conoce", "Cómo Se Siente" and "Dakiti". The song's title refers to the pack of playing cards of the same name.

Joshua Omar Medina Cortés, known professionally as Omar Courtz, is a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter.
