El Alma al Aire (transl. The Bared Soul) is the sixth studio album recorded by Spanish singer-songwriter Alejandro Sanz, It was released by WEA Latina on 26 September 2000. It is one of his more suggestive and emotive works. It beat all the records of sale of the Spanish market on having reached the 1,000,000 copies in the first week.[1]

Background and recording

[edit]
Spanish musician Vicente Amigo, who worked with Sanz on Más (1997), collaborated with the artist once more on the Spanish guitar.

In 1997, Alejandro Sanz released his fifth studio album Más. It sold over six million copies and would eventually become the bestselling record of all-time in Spain.[2][3] To promote Más, he embarked on a tour of the United States, Latin America, and Spain in 1998.[4] In 1999, Sanz announced he was taking a hiatus from the music scene for a year to focus on his private life.[5] On 7 January 2000, Spanish newspaper ABC reported that Sanz was set to record a new album that would be released sometime in the year.[6] On May 2000, Sanz moved to Miami and began working on his next disc.[7] Recording took place at the Hit Factory in Miami, Florida with Emanuele Ruffinengo handling the album's production. Ruffinengo had previously produced Sanz's last two studio albums, 3 (1995) and Más.[8]

The album's title, El Alma al Aire, was announced on 7 July 2000 and that it would feature ten original songs.[8] "Whenever I make an album I am very afraid, but in this case I felt very comfortable. I reconciled myself a little with my defects and found a path that makes me feel very safe", Sanz explained on the making of the album.[9] In addition, he also stated that not only has his way of composing changed, but also the musicians who accompany him have really enjoyed playing.[9] Ruffinengo commented that Sanz explores and polishes his style by going "all the way" without sparing creativity or efforts, but also remarked the challenges of an artist that continues with their style without being repetitive.[10]

Ruffinengo described having several studios set up for the musicians, explaining that "[t]here is a studio for brass, another for strings, one for voice and another for percussion in which the variety of musical options we have is diversified and thus ensure that the needs of the song are met to the letter. One of the peculiarities of recording the songs is that the musicians learned the scores to feel the song more".[10] Several musicians involved in the recording had worked Sanz on Más including Vicente Amigo (Spanish guitar), Alfredo Paixao (bass), Lulo Perez (brass), Ludovico Vagnone (guitar), and Luca Jurman (background vocals),[10] while José Miguel Carmona of Ketama fame collaborated on the record as well.[9] Recording and post-production for the album took a total of eight months.[11]

Composition

[edit]

El Alma al Aire is a contemporary pop album and consists of ten tracks,[12] all composed by Sanz,[13] featuring ballads and "flamenco-tinged" uptempo numbers.[14] In comparison to his previous album, which mixed pop and flamenco, El Alma al Aire leans more towards ballads.[15] Billboard magazine editor Leila Cobo described the songs as "harmonically and melodically complex, with multiple sonic and stylistic layerings and meandering melodic lines".[16] The opening track, "Cuando Nadie Me Ve", is a ballad that tells of a "man's loneliness, of pain as a subtle punishment".[17][18] Other ballads in the album include "Para Que Me Quieras", "Llega, Llegó Soledad", "Silencio", and "Me Iré" (the latter being described as "nostalgic").[18][19] On "Para Que Me Quieras", Sanz chants about "those little moments that you give me".[18] "Llega, Llegó Soledad" is dedicated to Buenos Aires, Argentina and has a little bit of swing influence.[20] According to Sanz, it "emerges as an invitation to slide through the music and its soft cadence".[21]

The closing track "Silencio" tells of "two children telling each other a poem" and "[s]ilence is requested to listen to them".[18] It is also a "reflection on the value of learning in which he criticizes those who talk a lot and say nothing".[11] "Silencio" also includes a hidden track, "Desde Mis Centros", which was written by Ruffinengo.[22] On "Hay un Universo de Pequeñas Cosas", Sanz invites the audience to "reflect on the small details that make up the world in which we live".[19] "Quisiera Ser" is a song with an "intimate air that calls for shared celebration" and has a "Latin touch".[21][23] The title track is a flamenco love song that narrates of a man who is "afraid of a cold soul".[18][23] "Tiene Que Ser Pecado" is a flamenco rap tune,[24] while "Hicimos un Trato" is a bolero.[25]

AllMusic editor Stacia Proefrock gave the record three out of five stars, stating that while it was "not as strong as his best albums like Más, El Alma al Aire does present a solid collection of ballads" and praised its string sections.[52] Rating it three out of fours stars, Daniel Shumski of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote the tracks "fall into two categories: those that sound as if they were borrowed from Mas and those that take cautious baby steps to advance his songwriting abilities". Shumski praised the "clever turns of phrase and cut-above-standard lyrics" as well as Sanz's "velvety vocals and tuneful melodies".[14] The Chicago Tribune critic Achy Obejas stated all the songs in the album are a "Sanz composition: romantic, but realistic, lyrically lush but in fresh and unexpected ways, serious but surprisingly sincere". She commended "Quisiera Ser" as an "addictive hit single".[56]


Ernest Lechner reviewed for the Los Angeles Times and rated the disc two-and-a-half stars and out four, citing the artist's talent to make the "kind of crisp, manipulatively romantic music" but criticized the album's "fussy production values".[55]
