El Tiempo es Oro (Spanish : "Time Is Gold") is the third studio album by Mexican pop singer Paulina Rubio, released simultaneously on 21 March 1995 by EMI Mexico in 18 countries. [1] It was recorded in the autumn and winter of 1994 in Madrid, Spain, and Miami, Florida. The album was produced by Miguel Blasco as with her previous studio albums, but included new producers and collaborations including Marco Flores, Adrián Posse and Claudio Bermúdez. Aged 23 at the time, Rubio was more involved in the creating and arranging process compared to her two previous albums, leading her to a new, bolder image and a more dance-influenced sound, exemplified by the lead single. El Tiempo Es Oro deals with many subjects about love including relationships, passion, crushes, cheating, disappointment, and happiness.

Contents

The album spawned four singles. "Te Daría Mi Vida" became one of Rubio's biggest successes with the EMI label, charting inside the top ten in Latin America and selling more than 140,000 copies in Mexico and the United States combined. [2] The music video was an output of her "girl in love", showing Rubio at her funniest and most spontaneous. The album had a fleeting promotion in Spain and is noted for beginning her international pop singing career.

The following singles—"Nada De Ti", and "Hoy Te Dejé De Amar"—all peaked inside the top 10 in Mexico. The last single, "Bésame En La Boca", was released to promote the film of the same name, in which Rubio also starred. She further promoted the album with a show touring South America. The album was re-issued in Spain in 2001 by Virgin Records.

Background

Rubio's third album was produced, like the first two, by the Spanish producer Miguel Blasco. On the album, Rubio used a more stylish and contemporary dance sound, and later said she had aimed to "talk about what I am, what I represent for people and also open my heart". [3]

Composition

El Tiempo Es Oro is a pop record. The second track, "Te Daría Mi Vida" is a dance-pop song in the europop style. [4]

Promotion

Rubio promoted the album in 1995 and 1996 by performing a series of concerts in Latin American countries including Mexico and Costa Rica, and on American and Mexican television programs such as En Vivo, Siempre en Domingo , and Sábado Gigante . Rubio traveled to South America in July 1995 and performed in clubs such as El Divino of Colombia, where she sang the album's singles.

With El Tiempo Es Oro, Paulina Rubio had the opportunity to perform for the first time in Spain. Her first performance was in February 1996 during the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where she performed some of her hits including "Te Daría Mi Vida" and "Nada De Ti". [5] A month before performing at the Tenerife Festival, the singer had appeared in different magazines in Spain, where she was shown as the girlfriend of architect and socialite Ricardo Bofill Jr. [6]

Upon its release, El Tiempo Es Oro received mixed reviews from music critics. The album was acclaimed for its musical production. [8] In its launch review, newspaper El Semanario de México denoted the "rhythmic and danceable" vibe on the album, and noted that Rubio follows "the same line that has characterized her since 1991", referring to the concept of 'Golden Girl'. [9] In the book El Huracán Mexicano, Paulina Rubio argued El Tiempo Es Oro is the final chapter to complete the "gold trilogy", after La Chica Dorada (1992) and 24 Kilates (1993), constituting Rubio's projects as "Golden Girl", and all produced by Miguel Blasco.
