Entre a mi mundo (English: Enter My World) is the third studio album by American Tejano pop singer Selena. It was released on May 6, 1992 by EMI Latin, and re-released as part of the Selena: 20 Years of music collection with bonus tracks and spoken liner notes by Selena's family, friends, and former band on September 22, 2002. Entre a mi mundo incorporates mostly Tejano music and rancheras. The album's production was postponed owing to Selena's relationship with guitarist Chris Pérez, which brought negative criticism from her father and manager Abraham Quintanilla Jr., who was threatening to disband the group. A further complication was Selena's Ven conmigo Tour, which overran slightly as a result of her appearance in the corrido-ballad "Buenos amigos" with Salvadoran singer Álvaro Torres. Selena's brother and music producer A.B. Quintanilla III returned as the main songwriter for the album, assisted by lead keyboardist Ricky Vela and backup singer Pete Astudillo.

The album was critically praised for its musical diversity. "Como la flor", which is a Mexican cumbia song, had became Selena's signature song as well as being one of her most famous. "Como la flor" peaked at number one on the US Hot Latin Tracks and on the Latin Regional Mexican Airplay charts, and was a springboard for Selena's success in the Latin music world. "La carcacha", which tells the story of a barrio teen romance that Selena never had, peaked at number one on the Latin Regional Mexican Airplay chart for almost six months. Other songs on the album also caught the eyes of several music critics. Entre a mi mundo peaked at number one on the Latin Regional Mexican Albums chart for eight consecutive months. The album sold 385,000 copies in its first year, more than any other Tejano album by a female vocalist.

Entre a mi mundo was certified gold (Latin type) by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1992, platinum (Latin type) in 1995, double platinum in 2000, and sextuple Disco De Platino in December 2002, representing shipments of 600,000 copies in the United States. It received mostly positive reviews, many agreeing that it was Selena's "breakthrough album", and it helped to cement her acceptance in Mexico. Some music critics compared several of Selena's songs to works by Diana Ross and Leslie Gore. To promote the album, Selena embarked on her first worldwide tour. Entre a mi mundo won the prestigious "Album of the Year – Orchestra" award at the 1993 Tejano Music Awards and was nominated for three other awards, including "Regional/Mexican Album of the Year" at the 1993 Lo Nuestro Awards and "Record of the Year" at the same event.

Production and development

After Selena had released Ven conmigo on November 12, 1990,[1] Selena had decided to postpone any developments for recording songs for another album.[2] Selena had continued on her short-lived Ven conmgio Tour, she was also booked for the first time in El Salvador for singing in a duet with Salvadoran singer Álvaro Torres' corrido-ballad "Buenos amigos".[2] Selena, at the time, was also dealing with her relationship with Chris Pérez, who was a rock guitarist and was asked to join Selena y Los Dinos. Their relationship began building soon after Pérez was introduced in the band. Selena's father and manager Abraham Quintanilla Jr., did not like Pérez and believed he was the antithesis of his "clean image" kids, he also went as far as firing Pérez from the band. With this situation, Selena was warned to never see Pérez or face having Selena y Los Dinos disbanded. Though Selena had ignored her father's wishes, she continued to meet Pérez secretly, the two eloped on April 2, 1992. Quintanilla Jr., accepted the relationship and was remorseful, feeling that he had put pressure on Selena.[3][4][5] After Selena had eloped, she decided to release a more Tejano and Mexican music-influenced album sticking to her roots.[2] Her brother and the producer of her music, A.B. Quintanilla III had returned as the main songwriter while band members Ricky Vela, the lead keyboardist, and Pete Astudillo, the backup singer, had helped with writing or co-writing a song on the album. Vela was also in charge with the music sequencer during pre-production of the album.[6]

Singles

Song structure and lyrical content

"La carcacha", released as the first promotional single, was written and produced by A.B. Quintanilla III, Pete Astudillo and Bebu Silvetti. Quintanilla III had gathered inspiration in writing the song after leaving a dry goods store.[6] Quintanilla III had seen an old broken down car and had told Joe Ojeda, who was the keyboardist for the band, that he wanted to write a song about the old car.[6] Quintanilla III had then asked Ojeda what does "a broken down car" means in Spanish, and Ojeda replied "Carcacha".[6] However, the general theme was not inspired until a month later, after Quintanilla III had bought a BMW and was buying a few dry goods at a corner store. His girlfriend began complaining to him while he was waiting in line, about the car.[6][7] While another girl had commented and stated that she would date Quintanilla III because he had a nice car.[7] Quintanilla III then said at that instant he wanted to write a comical song with a moral story behind it.[6] He also stated that it had taken the band six months to finish the song.[6] "La carcacha" incorporated conjunto, Mexican cumbia and had regional Latin undertones. The song also has elements of piano and synthesizer woven into the rhythm of the song.[8] The central theme of the song is about a teenage romance. Fanny S. Chirinos and Scripps Howard of The Intelligencer & Wheeling News Register stated that Selena catapulted onto the Tejano scene with "La carcacha" and "Como la flor".[9] In the San Antonio Express-News, the author stated that the lyrical content of "La carcacha" had the story lines that Selena never had, which was the tale of a barrio teen romance.[10] The song peaked at number one on the US Latin Regional Mexican Airplay chart for six consecutive months[11] and was positioned at number two on the Hot Latin Tracks charts.[12]

"Como la flor", released as the lead single of Entre a mi mundo, was written and produced by Quintanilla III, Astudillo and Abraham Quintanilla Jr., father of Selena. Quintanilla III had stated in an interview that "Como la flor" was written in Bryan, Texas, while staying in an inelegant hotel for the night before heading off to Houston the following morning.[6] While at the hotel, Quintanilla III had a melody stuck in his head and had an admiration for it. While peaking outside, he spotted a group of poor bystanders trying to sell plastic lighten flowers to people on the streets for income.[6] At that instant, Quintanilla III had wrote the hook chant "aaaahh da da da da da (como me duele)". While on the tour bus, Quintanilla III, Astudillo and Ojeda had sat down together and began working on the song which had took them an hour and 20 minutes to complete.[6] Suzette Quintanilla, sister of Selena, believed that both "Como la flor" and "La caracha" had a distinct style of cumbia to them that had the ability to make the band more noticed when their songs had played on radio stations.[6] Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News believed "Como la flor" was a "career-launching hit".[13] Cathy Ragland of Austin American Statesmen wrote that "Como la flor" was one of Selena's most popular songs and that "for many, a metaphor for her life- a beautiful, delicate creature".[14] "Como la flor" helped Selena to dominate the Latin music charts and become immensely popular in Mexico, where Mexican-Americans are not liked among citizens, which was well received by critics.[15] The song describes a bewildered woman whose ex-boyfriend is in love with another women and wants him back. The message of the song was to show people that you should love your partner if they truly love you back. At the 13th Tejano Music Awards, "Como la flor" was picked as "Best Song",[16] though Mazz' single "Lo Voy Hacer Por Ti" had won the award.[17] "Como la flor" peaked at number-one on the Hot Latin Tracks and on the Latin Regional Mexican Airplay charts.[18][19] "Como la flor" had then became the first song recorded by Selena to have peaked at number-one, it then became her signature song.[20][21][22]

"¿Qué creias?", released as the second promotional single of Entre a mi mundo, was written and produced by Quintanilla III, Astudillo, and Quintanilla Jr. "¿Qué creias?" is a ranchera song that hovers the conjunto styles. The song has the harp and violin as its musical instrument foundation. Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News stated that the song was "a heart-wrenching ranchera that boasted an emotional delivery".[13] Richard Torres of Newsday believed that Selena had an emotional vocal purity that helped make "¿Qué creias?" a international hit.[23] The song describes a women, in a bitter-tone, telling her ex-boyfriend, who broke up with her to be with a "better" women, that she is relentless to get back with him and empowers herself by telling her ex-boyfriend that she is happier without him by telling him that her love was like no other. The song peaked at number 14 on the Hot Latin Tracks and number 16 on the Latin Regional Mexican Airplay charts.[12][24]

"Amame", released as the third and final promotional single of Entre a mi mundo, was written and produced by Selena, Astudillo and Quintanilla III. "Amame" is featured in common time and is performed in the key of A minor with 121 beats per minute.[25] The song incorporates rock fusion, soul and contemporary R&B undertones.[26] Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News wrote that "... "Amame" is well-crafted, catchy and proficiently played ..."[27] The song describes a women who is continuously thinking about being with a guy she loves, she is determine to make it a reality, however, the decision is solely based on the guy, which makes the women anxious and inpatient. "Amame" peaked at number 27 on the Hot Latin Tracks and number 21 on the Latin Regional Mexican Airplay charts.[12]

Other songs

Pérez stated in an interview that Quintanilla III had wanted to record "Las cadenas" as a rock-influenced song on the album, but had changed it back to a conjunto style within a few days.[6] Pérez also confessed of "doubling" his guitar solos on the song which he had only done for "Las cadenas".[6] Pérez had stated that Selena had used her own harmony in the song and that it reminded him of being at home and being with his family because of the styles used on that track.[6] For "Si la queires", Ricky Vela told in an interview that Quintanilla III had went by his house and had looked over a few songs he had wrote and had instantaneously liked the chorus of "Si la queries".[6] While on the tour bus, Quintanilla III had re-written the first draft of the song written by Vela who was asked to come up with different scenarios that Quintanilla III had took a liking for.[6] Hector Saldanna of San Antonio Express-News wrote that "Vuelve A Mi" was a "hot little polka".[28] TerraMexico believed "Vueleve A Mi" was a "successful hit".[29] The Denver Post stated that "Missing My Baby" was "the best English song on [Entre a mi mundo], an R&B song".[30] The The Deseret News stated that Selena had displayed a "Leslie Gore baby- voice" on "Missing My Baby" and that "Selena displays a wonderful suppleness in her voice".[31] The Virginian-Pilot believed that "Missing My Baby" was built on hooks that recall Diana Ross' "Missing You" which was a tribute to Marvin Gaye.[32] J.R. Reynolds of Billboard wrote that "Missing My Baby" was a "dreamy ballad [that had] incorporate[d] an R&B-styled melody under Selena's pop vocals".[33] The song had peaked at number 16 on the Hot Latin Tracks,[34] though the remix version found on Dreaming of You (1995) peaked at number 22 on the Rhythmic Airplay Chart.[35]

Many music critics believed Entre a mi mundo was the "breakthrough album" for Selena.[53][54][55] Bruce Tomaso of The Dallas Morning News stated that "her brand of infectious Tejano pop [in Entre a mi mundo] had attracted a sizable audience charmed by her appealing voice".[56] stated that "Entre a Mi Mundo strengthened the Selena juggernaut".[26] Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News wrote that "Entre a Mi Mundo, marked her acceptance into the pop side of the Latin music".[57] Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News stated that "Entre a mi mundo did feature Los Dinos as the backing band, but the album was undoubtedly a solo star-making turn for Selena"[58] Roundup Newsletter of Allmusic wrote that "Selena, with her crystal clear vocals and dynamic stage presence, became one of Tex-Mex music's premier performers in only a few years. She was named Top Female Entertainer and Female Vocalist of the Year for three years straight at the Tejano Music Awards. Tracks include "Si la quieres," "Yo te sigo queriendo," and "Las cadenas".[36] Joey Guerra of Amazon.com believed that because Selena and her brother grew up listening to classic pop, R&B, and disco that those genres were materialized in Entre a mi mundo. Guerra also stated that the album was "consistently satisfying and wonderfully diverse". Guerra also gave examples of the songs on the album and their central theme "from the rousing cumbia "La carcacha" (about a boyfriend's beat-up old car) to the spirited mariachi kiss-off anthem "¿Qué creías?," which has become a fan favorite, "Missing My Baby" is street-smart R&B, and "Amame" pulses with fiery club rhythms". Guerra also stated that "Much of the credit should go to Quintanilla [III], who helped Selena challenge the often-stifling boundaries of Tejano music. Entre a mi mundo also includes Selena's first international hit, "Como la flor," a lilting cumbia highlighted by a pleading vocal delivery and lost-love lyrics".[59]
