By the Numbers
Insomniac widens Enrique Iglesias's circle of collaborators across pop, dance, and hip-hop, but the co-writing model holds: he had a hand in writing most tracks, often with Kristian Lundin, Savan Kotecha, or John Shanks. The clearest non-authored cuts are 'Tired of Being Sorry,' written by Scott Thomas, and 'Sweet Isabel' by Brodie Stewart, where Iglesias is a performer rather than a writer.
Insomniac is the eighth studio album by Enrique Iglesias, released in 2007 on Interscope and a return to his English-language pop after a Spanish-leaning period. A bilingual record blending dance-pop with hip-hop touches, it features the hit 'Push' with Lil Wayne and 'Tired of Being Sorry,' along with Spanish versions of several singles. Iglesias co-wrote most of the album with a wide cast including Kristian Lundin, Savan Kotecha, John Shanks, and his longtime producer Carlos Paucar, while a few tracks came from outside writers. The album was a strong commercial performer and showed him adapting to the dance and urban pop sounds of the mid-2000s.
