Enrique Iglesias – Synthpop + EDM Reinvention

Enrique Iglesias has always incorporated a bit of dance into his Latin pop music, but when he returned in 2010 with ‘Euphoria,’ he embraced synthpop and club music to experience his biggest chart success yet.

The lead single ‘I Like It,’ a collaboration with Pitbull and RedOne, kicked off the album with vibrant synths and returned Iglesias to the Top 10 in the U.S. for the first time in nearly a decade. The musical shift was accompanied by more aggressive, sexual lyrical content, as evidenced by song titles like ‘Tonight I’m F---in’ You,’ which was constructed around Euro-style synth beats and became another Top 10.

Pop music fans ate up Enrique’s reinvention as he suddenly became the king of the dance club. When the third single from 'Euphoria,' 'Dirty Dancer,' reached No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart, a countdown usually dominated by female singers, Iglesias became the all-time chart leader in No. 1 hits by a male artist.
