Production

Jon Secada was a backup vocalist for Cuban singer

crossover artist with "major international appeal."[5]

After Secada's debut album was a commercial success, Emilio met the executives at EMI Records. Emilio explained to the executives about Secada's background and that an album in Spanish by Secada wouldn't cost them anything because "he can do it himself."

Jose Behar, then-president of EMI Latin, told Emilio that he quickly "recognized the market potential" for Secada.[5] Behar suggested to the head of EMI Records, Charles Koppelman, that Secada should record his first Spanish-language album; Koppelman accepted the proposal.[5]

During the recording sessions, Secada confirmed that Gloria helped translate his English-language recordings into Spanish.

Cree En Nuestro Amor", and "Sentir", were translated into Spanish from Secada's debut album.[8]

Release and singles

Once translation of the selected recordings were complete, Secada recorded them and released the album six months after his debut album Jon Secada was released on October 6, 1992.

Cree En Nuestro Amor", released as the third single from the album on August 15, 1992,[15] also peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot Latin Tracks on February 27, 1993.[16]

The fourth single released from the recording, "Sentir", peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart on the week ending July 3, 1993.[17] By placing four singles atop the Hot Latin Tracks chart, Secada became the first Latin artist to accomplish this feat.[18] Spanish Latin pop singer Enrique Iglesias broke Secada's record with five number one singles from his self-titled album in 1997.[19] When the album's lead single "Otro Día Más Sin Verte" peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart, Secada became the first Hispanic artist of color to do so.[13] Secada released his fifth single from his album, "Tiempo Al Tiempo", debuted at number 33 on the US Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart on the week ending August 14, 1993,[20] it later peaked at number nine.[9] Otro Día Más Sin Verte was re-released digitally on March 3, 2003.[21] It was re-released on compact disc on July 19, 2005.[22]

AllMusic[23]

rock ballads in his book La balada: mensaje universal (2001).[25] The album was a commercial success in Spain where Secada was named "Best Adult Contemporary Artist of the early 1990s" by Humberto López Morales in his book El español en el mundo: Anuario del Instituto Cervantes (2008).[26]: p. 857 Chuck Taylor of Billboard called Secada's new Spanish offerings as having a "tailored, uptempo Latin vibe."[18] Taylor called Secada's transition from recording songs in English to Spanish as "positioning [Secada] as more of a romantic Latin idol than his mainstream American image as a passionate pop singer."[18]

Otro Día Más Sin Verte was a commercial and critical success. The album won

Hot Adult Contemporary, and the Hot Latin Tracks chart simultaneously, since Gloria's 1989 single "Don't Wanna Lose You"/"Si Voy a Perderte".[15]

Secada became the first Cuban-born recording artist to place a single atop the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks since Franco's 1988 single "María".[13] Otro Día Más Sin Verte led Secada a nomination at the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Awards for Songwriter of the Year (for "Cree En Nuestro Amor") and Latin Pop Songs of the year (for "Sentir") in 1993.[30] The album led Secada to win Male Artist of the Year and New Artist of the Year at the 1993 Lo Nuestro Awards.[31] The recording's single, "Angel", was nominated for Pop Song of the Year, while the title track was nominated for Video of the Year at the same event.[31] The album itself was nominated Pop Album of the Year at the 1994 Lo Nuestro Awards,[32] but lost to Aries by Luis Miguel.[33]
