''Otro Día Más Sin Verte'' ((英語:Just Another Day)), also called ''Sentir'' in Spain, is the Spanish-language debut album by Cuban singer Jon Secada. It was released on October 6, 1992 by EMI Latin to coincide with his English-language self-titled debut album, which was released in April 1992. The idea to release an all Spanish-language album was pitched by Secada's music mentor Emilio Estefan, after realizing that SBK Records have yet released such an album. Estefan presented Secada's proposal for a Spanish-language recording to the head of Capitol EMI Records Charles Koppelman and then president of EMI Latin Jose Behar. Koppelman accepted the proposal after Behar stated that he could see "market potential" for Secada. With the help of Emilio's wife, Gloria Estefan, Secada translated selected compositions from his English-language debut album for ''Otro Día Más Sin Verte''. The album spawned five singles; its titular track, "Angel", "Cree En Nuestro Amor", "Sentir", and "Tiempo Al Tiempo". The first four singles peaked at number one on the US ''Billboard'' Hot Latin Tracks chart, becoming the first Latin artist to do so. Secada held the record for most number ones from a single album, until Spanish Latin pop singer Enrique Iglesias broke the record in 1997. Secada became the first Hispanic artist of color to have a number one song on the Hot Latin Tracks chart. The album peaked at number four on the US ''Billboard'' Latin Pop Albums chart and number eight on the US ''Billboard'' Top Latin Albums chart. ''Otro Día Más Sin Verte'' helped Secada to win Male Artist of the Year and New Artist of the Year at the 1993 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album in 1993. == Production == Jon Secada was a backup vocalist for Cuban singer Gloria Estefan in 1989. He became close friends with Gloria and her husband, Emilio Estefan who helped guide Secada into the music business. Secada released his self-titled debut album in 1992 with SBK Records. The recording was made up of English-language compositions and two Spanish-language tracks. It was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of three million copies. His popularity as a singer grew with the release of his debut album. While on tour for the album, Secada remarked on how Emilio began coining the idea of releasing a full-length Spanish-language recording. Emilio had the idea after realizing that SBK Records never released a Spanish-language album. According to Secada, writing in his autobiography, Emilio pitched his ideas to EMI Latin, a subsidiary of Capitol EMI Records. Secada explained that Emilio went "full throttle" and wanted Secada to be a crossover artist with "major international appeal." 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. Behar suggested to the head of EMI Records, Charles Koppelman, that Secada should record his first Spanish-language album; Koppelman accepted the proposal. During the recording sessions, Secada confirmed that Gloria helped translate his English-language recordings into Spanish. He said that she told him to record songs that he would be comfortable with singing throughout his career as a singer. She later told Secada and Emilio to not "translate everything literally" but to "keep the same theme of the song in play." Secada wrote in his autobiography that he was "grateful" that he and Gloria grew up in Miami, Florida and spoke two languages. Secada said that recording in Spanish was "instinctively more passionate" when compared to his recordings in English, he also explained that it gave him "a different connection to the music as well." However, Chris Morris of ''Billboard'', said that Secada lacked the emotional range that was present in his English-language debut album. Two of the songs "Angel" and the title track were originally on the English-language album as Spanish tracks. Four of the songs, including "Como En Un Sueño", "Tu Amor Es Mi Libertad", "Cree En Nuestro Amor", and "Sentir", were translated into Spanish from Secada's debut album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Otro Día Más Sin Verte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
