Background

Yandel in 2009.

Yandel's previous studio albums, De Líder a Leyenda and Dangerous, were commercially successful in the US Latin market, both topping the US Top Latin Albums chart and eventually selling more than 90,000 album-equivalent units combined.[2][3] The lead single of Dangerous, "Encantadora", received Latin Grammy Awards for Best Urban Song and Best Urban Fusion/Performance at the 17th Annual Latin Grammy Awards.[4] In March 2016, he became the first Puerto Rican act to sign with American rapper Jay Z's record label Roc Nation.[5] He was also honored by the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame on October 13, 2016 for having reached "outstanding achievements" and having "contributed to the development of the Latin music".[6]

On May 2017, Yandel confirmed guest features for Update including Puerto Rican singer Farruko and French disc jockey David Guetta, yet they were not part of the final track listing.[7] His main focus on the album was reggaeton music, claiming that "the streets need the real reggaeton".[8] He also stated that the album "is full of rhythms that have been part of [his] DNA as a music creator".[9]

Production

The recording for Update commenced on January 12, 2017, while its last known session was held on June 7, 2017 with Yandel and American singer Jennifer Lopez.[10][11] Confirmed producers include Puerto Rican producers Tainy, Haze, Jumbo, and Colombian producers Sky, Bullnene, and The Rude Boys, among others.[12]

Release

Update is set to be released on September 8, 2017 under Sony Music Latin.[1] The cover art and the track listing were announced on August 8, 2017.[13]
