Background

From 2014 and 2017 Sech released several songs independently including "Miss Lonely" in 2017 (later included in the album), produced by Dimelo Flow, who would eventually produce the album, the song was successful in Panama, the country of origin of Sech, and led him to be signed by independent label Rich Music in 2018.[5] In 2019 he released his debut studio album Sueños on April 19, 2019, being followed by "Otro Trago", a "piano-reggaeton ballad about drinking and dancing the heartbreak away", the song was highly commercially successful and made Sech a "breakout star" within the reggaeton music scene, Sech has said about the song that "it's the song that truly changed my life".[6]

Singles

On February 28, 2019, "Solita" was released as the album's first single, the song features Puerto Rican singers Farruko and Zion & Lennox. The second single was "Otro Trago" featuring rapper Darell on April 26, 2019. A remix of the song was released on July 26, 2019, with Nicky Jam, Ozuna and Anuel AA.[7] The song and its remix were very commercially successful, being Sech's most successful song, topping the charts in several country including Argentina, Spain and Panama, and reaching number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as also peaking at number one on the Hot Latin Songs, Latin Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay charts, all three by Billboard.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14]

Critical reception

American magazine Rolling Stone included the album in their list of Best Latin Albums of 2019, placing it at number 3, calling Sech "the most exceptional new Spanish-language artist of 2019", commenting on his success writing that "with so much in place to obstruct difference, it takes a lot for an Afro-Panamanian R&B singer to ascend to Billboard chart heights domestically and streaming services globally", they also highlighted the tracks "Boomerang" and "Falsas Promesas" as songs that made the album a must-listen.[15]
