''Adentro'' is the tenth studio album by Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona, released on December 6, 2005, by Sony Music Entertainment. Recorded in the United States and Mexico, the album was produced by Arjona himself, as well as Dan Warner and Lee Levin under their stage name Los Gringos, and Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Tommy Torres. The album marks the first collaboration between Arjona and the latter, who would subsequently become a regular contributor in following albums by the singer. Arjona experimented with prominent Latin sounds for ''Adentro'', such as Mexican and Tejano music on "Mojado"; as well as some Colombian and bachata elements on "Adiós Melancolía". ''Adentro'' was named "Arjona's most personal album", and his performance style was classified as "confident", with a "relevant-as-ever lyricism." It was named best Latin Pop Album for 2007 at the 49th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. ''Adentro'' became Arjona's fifth consecutive album to reach the top ten on the US ''Billboard'' Top Latin Albums chart, peaking at number three. On the Latin Pop Albums chart, it attained a peak of number two. ''Adentro'' was certified two times Platinum in Mexico, five times Platinum in Argentina and two times Platinum (Latin) in the United States. As of February 2006, the album has sold more than one million copies worldwide. Five singles were released from the album. American lead single, "Acompañame A Estar Solo", became Arjona's fifth number-one single on the US ''Billboard'' Latin Pop Songs chart, and reached number seven on the Latin Songs chart. Mexican lead single "Mojado", featuring Mexican band Intocable, became a moderate success, as well as second American single "Pingüinos En La Cama", which single version features Spanish singer Chenoa. "A Ti" followed as the fourth single, peaking at number three on the Latin Pop Songs chart. "De Vez En Mes" was released as the fifth and final single from the album. To promote the album, Arjona embarked on a world tour, the Adentro Tour. ==Recording and composition== This was the first time Arjona collaborated with Tommy Torres. In an interview with ''Billboard'' magazine, the singer commented that he first "tested" Torres by sending him the "hookiest and darkest tracks" on the album, "Acompañame A Estar Solo" and "Iluso".〔 Torres said that he "went all out on the first demo, hiring a full band that included a string orchestra", which grabbed the attention of Arjona.〔 Arjona further commented that ''Adentro'' was "a very representative and tremendously complete album," adding that "having different producers made it rich in possibilities."〔 Evan Gutierrez from AllMusic considered the record's instrumentation, performance, and overall sonic palette to be "minimalist" and "unassuming".〔Gutierrez, Evan.

We liked the song and then we recorded it (him ). It is very cool that he invited us (featured artists )."〔 "Adiós Melancolía" is mainly composed as a bachata song with Colombian influences. "No Te Cambio Por Nada" is intermittently rock-dabbled. The lyrics of "De Vez En Mes" pertain to a woman's menstruation.〔("Arjona llegó a la Argentina y comienza su serie de 30 conciertos en el Luna Park" ). Periodismo.com.
