Data Insight

Cosas del Amor splits its authorship evenly: Enrique Iglesias wrote about half the standard tracks, including 'Esperanza' with Chein Garcia-Alonso, while producer Rafael Perez-Botija and Maria Enriqueta Ramos Nunez supplied the rest. It is the last album where this debut-era writing team shaped his sound before he moved to English-language pop collaborators.

Cosas del Amor is the third studio album by Enrique Iglesias, released in 1998 on Fonovisa and the last of his Spanish-language trilogy with producer Rafael Perez-Botija. It continued his run of romantic Latin pop, led by the hit 'Nunca Te Olvidare,' and arrived as he was preparing his English-language crossover. Iglesias wrote or co-wrote about half the album, including 'Esperanza' and 'Contigo,' while Perez-Botija and Maria Enriqueta Ramos Nunez wrote the rest. The album topped the Latin chart and helped him win the inaugural Latin Grammy nomination cycle's recognition for his early work. It marked the end of his first creative era before his pop reinvention.
