Romeo Santos
Advertisement In contrast to stars like Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony, Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira — all of whom Mr. Santos cites as paving the way for his rise — he has not pursued a crossover approach meant to expand his presence in the English-language mainstream.
Though he sprinkles English phrases into many of his songs, and tends to speak in Spanglish when he is offstage, he has thus far refused to record an album in English, saying “I believe in my culture, and I believe in my genre, because they are beautiful.”. Instead, he’s become a beacon for reverse crossover.
English-language artists, aware of his popularity in one of the nation’s fastest-growing demographics — young Hispanics — are eager to collaborate. On his second solo album, “The Formula, Vol. 2,” released in February and an instant hit, both Drake and Nicki Minaj gamely attempt to sing in Spanish: he on “Odio,” or “Hatred,” a track that also features Drake’s English-language rap, and she on “Animales.” Mr. Santos’ first solo record, released in 2011, featured tracks with Usher and Lil Wayne, but their collaborations were in English, not Spanish. “This was another strategy of mine, to utilize artists like Drake,” said Mr. Santos, who was responding to a shout out from Drake on “The Motto.” “People were expecting we were going to do an R&B, but it was a bachata, and I think they were definitely not ready to hear him sing in Spanish nor rap on a bachata record. At first even he was saying, ‘Don’t you think it’s kind of weird to have a rap beat in a bachata?’ So I told him, ‘Look, if there’s anyone who can get away with it, it’s me, so let’s try it.’ ” The King of Bachata Excerpts of songs by Romeo Santos.
