''Sentimiento'' (English: ''Feeling'') is the sixth studio album by Puerto Rican recording artist Ivy Queen. It was released on March 27, 2007 by Univision Records. The album features production collaborations with several Puerto Rican music producers including Monserrate & DJ Urba, Noriega, and Luny Tunes. It also features vocal collaborations with Don Omar, Arcángel, Tito "El Bambino", Ken-Y, Randy and Naldo. The album includes solo performances by Baby Rasta, Divino, Mikey Perfecto, Naldo and Noriega. Musically, the album alternates between reggaetón, bolero, and salsa. The move in musical composition from reggaetón and hip hop is credited to Queen's evolution as a musical artist. ''Sentimiento'' spawned four singles: "Que Lloren", "En Que Fallamos", "Sentimientos" and "Menor Que Yo", along with one promotional single, "Dime Si Recuerdas". The lead single "Que Lloren" was the best performing, reaching number ten on the ''Billboard'' Latin Songs chart, number four on the ''Billboard'' Tropical Songs chart, and number two on the ''Billboard'' Latin Rhythm Songs chart. Commercially, the album was a success. It debuted at number 105 on the ''Billboard'' 200, selling nine thousand copies in its first week. The album managed two weeks at number twenty-four on the ''Billboard'' Rap Albums chart as well. It also debuted at number four on the ''Billboard'' Top Latin Albums chart and number one on the ''Billboard'' Latin Rhythm Albums chart. The album was nominated for "Best Urban Music Album at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2007. It received a nomination for "Reggaetón Album of the Year" at the 2008 Latin Billboard Music Awards, where "Que Lloren" also received a nomination for "Latin Dance Club Play Track of the Year". At the Premio Lo Nuestro Awards of 2008, ''Sentimiento'' was awarded "Urban Album of the Year". Ivy Queen received a Latin gold and platinum certification in the United States for ''Sentimiento'', signifying sales of over 100,000 copies. As of 2010, the album has sold over 154,000 copies in the United States. ==Background== In June 2005, Ivy Queen partnered with co-founder of Perfect Image Records, José Guadalupe to form Filtro Musik. This stemmed from Guadalupe parting ways with the other co-founder of Perfect Image, Anthony Pérez who in turn would launch his own label The Roof Records.〔 Filtro Musik's concept initially stemmed from its name which means "filter" in English.〔 Guadalupe explained the title, saying "I've been in this industry for 15 years now, and we have the ability to filter and pick the best".〔 In the coming year, Univision Music Group signed the label to a licensing plan. Ivy Queen was previously married to fellow reggaetón artist Omar Navarro, known by his stage name Gran Omar. They were divorced in 2005 shortly before the release of ''Flashback'', which influenced the composition of the ''Sentimiento'', which began soon after in late 2006. Following this, ''Cosa Nostra: Hip Hop'' (2006), a compilation album presented by Queen and Omar was released. Its lead single, "No Hacen Na" was performed by Queen and was released in July 2006. It peaked at number twenty-five on the ''Billboard'' Latin Rhythm Songs chart and number thirty on the ''Billboard'' Tropical Songs chart. However, Navarro later stated that Queen had tricked him, and that she owed him money from the sales and production of the album .〔 No legal action was taken, however.〔 Navarro was invited by Jorge Guadalupe, Ivy Queen's manager to take legal action, as he has all the papers stating that there was no deception with the album. Guadalupe called Navarro "someone who misses the money and the high-life" he had while he was married to Queen.〔 Navarro would also go on national television and accuse Queen of being unfaithful in their relationship on the television program ''Escándalo TV'' (Telefutura). He would also mention the accusations that Queen owed him money from the album as well on the program.〔 In early 2007, it was announced the Queen had signed an exclusive contract to release ''Sentimiento''. "I’m super-proud to be a part of Univision Music Group. I’ve always felt like I was part of a family with them, because they handled my last album and they did an excellent job. They are a strong and important company who always respects its artists." she said. The feeling was mutual with Jose Behar, the President of Univision Music Group who said "it’s a privilege to have Ivy Queen be a part of our artistic talent. Ivy is a woman with incomparable talent, and she’s number one in her genre. We’re happy to be able to work with her on her new album and future projects as well." 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「Sentimiento (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
