Talento de Barrio (English: Hood Talent) is a soundtrack album to the film of the same name starring Puerto Rican reggaeton singer-songwriter Daddy Yankee, who also performs the songs on the album. It was released on August 12, 2008 by Machete Music and El Cartel Records, to accompany the motion picture Talento de Barrio. The album was mainly produced by reggaeton producers Eli El Musicólogo and Menes.[4] The album also received a Latin double platinum certification by the RIAA with an excess of 200,000 copies.[5]
History
Promotion
Several songs, including "Sólido" and "Somos de Calle", were uploaded to Daddy Yankee's MySpace profile several months before the release of the soundtrack. Released as free single downloads at the time, were not announced to be included on the soundtrack until mid-Summer 2008, when promotion of the film Talento de Barrio would be disclosed. The planned musical style of the soundtrack would not be recognized until May 2008 when Daddy Yankee released the soundtrack's first single "Pose", which is the first song by Daddy Yankee to not have any reggaeton influence whatsoever. The purpose for the soundtrack is to promote the film, but details for a planned tour have not been disclosed, and no tour has been established since then. A planned re-release, entitled Daddy Yankee Mundial,[6] is set for release sometime in 2009, as announced on Daddy Yankee's official site, which is currently under construction.[7]
Musical style
The album has an overall urban-R&B vibe, and also has many different musical styles like dance music, salsa, bachata and reggaeton. Although all the songs on Talento de Barrio are different in music style, they all revolve around the same subjects of the film. Talento de Barrio [the film] relates the struggles young people face when they try to improve their lives and break free from their troubled surroundings.
Chart performance
The soundtrack became a major debuting success on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 13 with 26,000 sold in its first week.[8] It dropped to number 23 the week after, and eventually to number 35. Its final charting position was at number 191, as of December 13, 2008.[9] It also became entered in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top Soundtracks chart peaking at number 3, becoming Daddy Yankee's first Top 5 soundtrack on the Top Soundtracks chart. The soundtrack is also Yankee's fourth consecutive number-one album on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.
Singles
- The lead single, "Pose", was released digitally via MySpace on May 14, 2008, and officially released to online music stores on the day of the album's release. It is the most successful charting single from the album, peaking at number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in August 2008. "Pose" presents a mix of hip hop and dance, with Latin and African American rhythms.
“ | When I'm at shows, I see almost everyone with a camera, and they're all trying to give the best pose, especially the women. It's interesting to me how we're always trying to look good. That's the inspiration for the song. | ” | |
— Raymond Ayala |
- A promotional single, "Somos de Calle", was released as a radio promo in mid-Summer 2008. It was released online, along with its video. Though not as successful as the album's lead single, the song still gets video play on music video television networks, as well as minor airplay. The video, as well as the lyrics, is more like the film in subject matter.
- The second single, "Llamado de Emergencia", was released on September 23, 2008. A vallenato-pop influenced track, the single made a modest debut at number 26 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, and has so far peaked at number 21.[10][11]
- The third single, "¿Qué Tengo Que Hacer?", was released on January 19, 2009. It has so far peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Latin Rhythm Airplay chart.[12]
