"Fotos y Recuerdos" is a Rock en Español song with influences of dance pop and house music. The song garnered acclaim from music critics, who called it an improvement over the Pretenders' original version. The song peaked at number one on the United States Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart for seven consecutive weeks, her fourth successive number one song. "Fotos y Recuerdos" also peaked at number one on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart, her second consecutive number one. "Fotos y Recuerdos" became Selena's first posthumous number one song, following the shooting death of the singer in March 1995. The recording became the second-most successful Latin single of 1995 and ranks as the twentieth best Hot Latin Songs chart single of all-time. Many musicians have since recorded the song and released it on their respective albums including Dominican salsa singer José Alberto "El Canario" and Mexican pop singer Paulina Rubio.

Inspiration, production and songwriting controversy

While flying back from New York, A.B. Quintanilla—the brother-producer of Selena—heard the Pretenders' 1983 single "Back on the Chain Gang" on the radio. [1] At the time, A.B. was having a nervous breakdown after realizing he was running out of material to record for Selena's fourth studio album, Amor Prohibido (1994). [1] He likened the idea of reworking "Back on the Chain Gang" into a Spanish-language cumbia song. [1] Keyboardist of the group, Ricky Vela wrote the Spanish lyrics into a cumbia-style that A.B. envisioned for the recording. [1] The Amor Prohibido album was pressed for a release date of March 13, 1994, and was halted for distribution due to the copyrighting issues with "Fotos y Recuerdos". [1] Vela retold in a 2002 interview how he was awaken by Selena and A.B. because they did not have the clearance for "Fotos y Recuerdos". [1] Singer-songwriter Chrissie Hynde's music producers reported the song to Hynde who did not allow Selena to continue with "Fotos y Recuerdos" until she received an English-language writing of the song. [1] It was only after Vela re-wrote the song into English that Hynde gave Selena the clearance for the recording. [1] Musicologist James Perone, noticed how the song was the shortest track off of Amor Prohibido. [2] He further wrote how Vela "stripped some of the edge off of Hynde's text but retained the basic premise of ["Back on the Chain Gang"]" [2] Perone found A.B.'s arrangement to be "an example of [his] universal Latin approach". [2]

Music, theme and lyrics

"Fotos y Recuerdos" is a mid-tempo cumbia and rock song with influences of dance pop and house music. [3] [4] [5] [6] Cary Darling of The Buffalo News noticed the mixture of house and ranchera music in "Fotos y Recuerdos". [7] Author and contributor to The New York Times , Joe Nick Patoski found the song to use the same melody of the Pretenders' new wave sound. [8] Author Lori Beth Rodriguez, also found similarities between the Pretenders' mainstream sound and "Fotos y Recuerdos" but noticed how the song enchoed a cumbia undertone with "lyrics [that] are similar in theme, yet different from those in the original English version." [9] The song features a synth-driven violin, ostinatish-percussion, and a steel drum under a cumbia beat. [9] [10] [2] Perone found the song to have "small hints" of music found in Jamaica, Cuba, and Trinidad and Tobago. [2] BuzzFeed contributor Brian Galindo, called the song "upbeat and dancy". [11] Written in the key of D minor, the beat is set in common time and moves at a moderate 90 beats per minute. [12] Rebecca Thatcher of the Austin American-Statesman , found the lyrical content of "Fotos y Recuerdos" to be a "lilting ode to a lost love". [13] Lyrically, the song describes a lonely female protagonist who "kisses the photo of her [lover] each night before falling asleep." [14]

[20] The York Dispatch believed the song "outshines" all other tracks on the Amor Prohibido album. [21] Author Ed Morales believed the song "has a lot of personality". [22] Don McLeese of the Austin American-Statesman wrote how the song became a popular radio song in South Texas and believed it to be one of her signature songs. [23] Musicologist Frank Hoffman, called it a "hard-edge rock" song. [3] The Monitor editor Jon LaFollette, wrote differently; calling the song a "simultaneous effort to celebrate multiculturalism" in a way to "grow her bank account". [24] Nonetheless, he listed the song as part of his "key tracks" for the Amor Prohibido album. [24] Zach Quintance, also from The Monitor, wrote how readers of the newspaper chose Selena's 1994 single "No Me Queda Más" and "Fotos y Recuerdos"; citing that "fans loved the feeling and musicianship in those two songs." [25] Federico Martinez of La Prensa, called the song an "enduring hit". [26] Since its release, the song has been included on many music critics "best of Selena songs" list including the BuzzFeed (at number six), [11] and Latina (at number eleven). [27] In 2016, Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone magazine included the song at number 47 in the list for the "50 Best Songs of the Nineties". [28]
