Mi Reflejo is the first Spanish-language studio album (and second studio album overall) by American pop singer Christina Aguilera, released in 2000 (see 2000 in music). Most of the album has been produced by Rudy Perez and includes Spanish versions of five songs from her debut album Christina Aguilera, as well as six new songs. The album has yielded 2 commercial singles, "Pero Me Acuerdo De Ti" and "Falsas Esperanzas".
[edit] ProductionAguilera's manager Kurtz told MTV that Christina was talking about recording a Spanish-language album even before she recorded her debut album.[1] In 2000 Aguilera started recording with producer Rudy Pérez in Miami.[2] According to Pérez, Aguilera was only semi-fluent, while recording. She understood the language, because she has grown up with her father, who is a native of Ecuador. He added "Her Latin roots are undeniable".[1] The album's title was actually planned to be "Latin Lover Girl", which was later renamed to "Mi Reflejo".[3] The album features the Spanish-sung versions of five songs from her 1999 self-titled debut album, with five originals and one traditional number called "Contigo En La Distancia". One of the producers of Mi Reflejo was Rudy Pérez, a Cuban-American who also wrote four of its five new songs — "Pero Me Acuerdo De Ti", "Si No Te Hubiera Conocido", "Cuando No Es Contigo", and "El Beso Del Final". The track "Falsas Esperanzas" has been penned by Jorge Luis Piloto, which later became the second single of the album. Additionally, Aguilera made a duet with young Puerto Rican–born singer Luis Fonsi on the ballad "Si No Te Hubiera Conocido."[1] Kurtz described the album as a Latin-sounding record, with a R&B sound. He added that no one sings in Spanish the way Aguilera does.[1] [edit] Critical receptionCritically, the album got average reviews with a rating of 56/100 on the website MetaCritic, one point higher than her sophomore album Stripped.[4] All Music described the album was a mirror image of her debut album Christina Aguilera. He stated that the record was classy and well produced, but later he added: "It's hard to view Mi Reflejo as anything other than a bit of a pleasant holding pattern! It's enjoyable as it spins, but it doesn't add anything new to her music, since it's just the old music in new clothing."[5] Songs from the album earned her two Latin Grammy Award nominations, one for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Genio Atrapado" in 2000 and Record of the Year for "Pero Me Acuerdo De Tí" in 2001. The album earned her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Latin Pop Album and a win at the Latin Grammy Awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Album in 2001. Christina became the first American Artist to win a Latin Grammy.[6] [edit] Chart performanceThe Spanish-language album debuted at No. 27 on the Billboard 200 and until 2009 has sold 480,000 copies.[7] The album also topped the "Top Latin Album" and remained at No. 1 twenty consecutive weeks.[8] On September 10, 2001 it has been certified triple-platino (600,000 copies shipped) honors under the RIAA's Los Premios de Oro y Platino program.[9] [edit] Track listing
