About Aries (album) in brief
Aries is the ninth studio album by Mexican recording artist Luis Miguel. It was released by WEA Latina on 22 June 1993. The record was produced by Luis Miguel, who was assisted by Kiko Cibrian, Rudy Pérez, David Foster, and Juan Luis Guerra. Three singles were released to promote the album. Aries peaked at number one on the US Billboard Latin Pop Albums, where it stayed for 19 weeks. It received mixed reviews from music critics; they were divided on the dance tunes and ballads, although Luis Miguel’s vocals and the album’s arrangements garnered positive reactions. Luis Miguel received several accolades, including the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop album. The album was certified triple platinum in Mexico, where It sold over one million copies. It also sold over two million copies worldwide through 2000. The first two singles, \”Ayer\” and \”Hasta Que Me Olvides,\” topped the US billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and the third, \”Suave,\” peaked at no nine. The rest of the album consists of four dance numbers, which San Antonio Express-News editor Rro Burr compared to Miguel’s earlier recordings before Romance.
Miguel said the mixture of ballads and uptempo music was done to keep a steady musical line because he did not want his music to be unrecognizable. The dance tunes are a mixture of Latin hop and R&B influences, while a solo by American musician Kirk Whalum features a saxophone solo and a trumpet solo on the track “Que Nivel de Muor Amor” Aries was the first record by a Spanish-speaking artist to be certified gold in Brazil, Taiwan, and the United States. In 1991 Miguel released his eighth studio album, Romance, a collection of classic boleros, the oldest of which originated in the 1940s. It revived interest in the bolero genre and was a commercial success in Latin America and sold over seven million copies world-wide. In spite of the success, Miguel didn’t want to release a follow-up record that was similar to Romance. He began working with the composers for the album a year before recording in a studio in 1992. Miguel announced that the name of his new album would be Aries during a presentation at the 1993 Festival Acapulco.
