I will be shocked if it actually comes out. If it does though, I'm really curious which of his last 3 years of singles will make the tracklisting / how much will be actual new content. I'm certain all the songs that have been grouped as being part of this "era" will be on the album. His two Spanish language singles 'Loco' and 'El Perdedor' are two of the biggest Latin hits he's had there's no chance they'll be left out and he's still performing 'Heart Attack' so I'd say that's a definite lock. Enrique's recent albums average 14-15 tracks so I don't think they'll take up much room. Although we know the song 'Bailando' which leaked will be on the album and I suspect we'll hear the track he's done with Kylie Minogue 'Beautiful' before the album drops but it will be new unreleased material. Anything prior to that and not made specifically from this album I'm sure you can discount. 'I Like How It Feels' was for re-release for Euphoria that was cancelled almost immediately after it was released and 'Finally Found You' was released with no other intention than to remind people he was still around while he was inbetween albums. I've suggested it elsewhere but I don't think it would be bad idea that if he has a Delux or something like a Target Exclusive if these were bonus tracks along with 'Tonight (I''m Lovin' You)' and maybe even the single version of 'Dirty Dancer'. It'd be nice to have those tracks on actual cd and I think that'd be better than what he did with Euphoria were the bonus material was stuff he cut out of the regular version. And I'm certain it will come out on that date. Enrique's released albums many mainstream albums with either a flop and under-performing single 'Rhythm Divine', 'Addicted', 'Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)' and to be honest his last five albums have sold sold around the same regardless of language, genre, amount of promo and whether he had a smash or not so I think there's an argument to be made this will sell in the same ballpark regardless. I don't think that's ever been a problem - one of the few interviews he gave at the start of this era he said he wanted to release a lot of songs before he released the album. You can question the value of that strategy but it's what they've been doing.

The album is available as a pre-order on iTunes. As a consequence, the tracklist is up and there will be so many editions, which it's difficult to point out which songs made it or not for each country. Also, seems that Sex + Love will not be considered as a bilingual album in Australia, New Zealand and some European countries where his Spanish songs doesn't have a lot of reception. Also, I think it's kind of weird to see that "Physical" and "Beautiful" will not be on the US standard edition, especially for the former.

1. I'm A Freak 2. There Goes My Baby (feat. Flo Rida) 6. Let Me Be Your Lover 7. You And I 8. Heart Attack 12. Turn The Night Up 13. Beautiful (Ft. Kylie Minogue) 14. Only A Woman
So these have leaked. Not too bad.
"You and I" is an uplifting-dance track, I like it a lot.
The ballad, "Only A Woman" proves that this man can still sing. Really pretty song.

Wikipedia (ugh) has the producers of "You and I" as Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso & Axwell ("Swedish House Mafia") - these 3 broke up last year, and haven't worked together since.
Who produced it?

Fuck man, that's Ashanti territory. Even without a Pop hit isn't he still very successful on latin radio? I figured that base alone would lift this past 50-60k.

I thought the album was a mess overall. It was just so generic and bland. So sad.
I did like "Beautiful", "Physical", and "Bailando (Dance Remix)." "Physical" is nothing groundbreaking, but it's fun.

"You and I" is such a #jamandahalf. He's capable of better, but I love my Enrique, and I'm definitely copping this.

It's actually No. 8 24,000 according to Billboard
www.billboard.com/articles/news/6006529/frozen-earns-its-biggest-sales-week-yet-tops-billboard-200-a-seventh-time?mobile_redirection=false#!/entry/view/id/84703 I wouldn't say this is bad at all really. All his post Escape albums have opened with similar numbers and overall sold in the same ballpark regardless of language, style, level of promo or whether he has a hit or not. While this may not seem impressive the fact that no matter what his sales are pretty level I'd argue is good thing especially as the market shrinks around him. Hence how he can get his second highest peak on Billboard with this. 20-25k? f**k man, that's Ashanti territory. Even without a Pop hit isn't he still very successful on latin radio? I figured that base alone would lift this past 50-60k. He is very successful on Latin radio, he has two #1s from this album already with 'Loco' and 'El Perdedor' but when was the last time a Latin artist has sold those numbers based on the their Spanish output? Euphoria had not only a smash pop hit with 'I Like It' but also a smash Latin hit with 'Cuando Me Enamoro' but debuted at no. 10 with 27,000 copies which is only marginally more than this album but hardly anyone cared because he a radio hit and it didn't stop it from selling more over time or selling internationally which this is also doing. When he was on the Today Show Matt Lauer said the album was #1 in 18 countries. I wouldn't call a Top 10 in the US a failure at all either. I'm genuinely curious what you actually expect from an Enrique album or why you think his output would any different? How does this differ in those respects to past albums of his I assume you've enjoyed?

So is this album just dead? "Bailando" was massive, and nothing else after it? "You and I" was screaming for a club release... such a shame.

It sold about 120k, which is great for a Latin album these days. I was under the impression Let Me Be Your Lover was the next single but it doesn't appear to have materialized as an official single.

If Bailando had been the lead single, he may have sold more albums. There's just not a market for Latin music to crossover right now. Bailando would have been nowhere near as massive as it became in America without the major boost it got from Latin radio. It's peak AI on Latin was more than double what the current #1 Latin song is.

And I'm still here searching for the no rap edit of 'Tonight' that was used in one of the remixes. "go baby go" in the bridge. Driving me nuts for years.

I think you mean this LINK which does have Luda's rap as well as the "go baby go" part. I think they just wanted to let Bailando completely run it's course. Once it was in sight of the record for most weeks at #1 on Hot Latin Songs I don't think they were going to have anything to potentialy distract from that. They've now got round to releasing the music video and the one they shot for Noche y de Dia will be surely be on it's way. No word on whether they'll be sent to radio. It could be possible they've now left it too long for mainstream radio for a new single. Less a problem on Latin radio but he also features on the remix of Reggaeton artist Nicky Jam's single El Perdon which is being played on Latin Radio right now. Well yes. That was quite clever of them really but I don't think it would have made much difference to the album if it had been the first single. I've made this point before but his past five albums released in the US have sold around the same ballpark regardless of language, genre, amount of marketing and promo. It's not a bad position for him to be in really and bare in mind there's a slightly bigger difference in his international sales and while Bailando has been huge in some countries it's barely made a dent on a few key markets like the UK where Enrique normally does decently so I think he needed the primarily English songs. I know people will disagree but Enrique doesn't need a Latin song to crossover, it's nice that it can but that's what the Latin chart is for, he needs a good pop song to work it's magic on the Top 40.
