El Alma al Aire

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch • Watch peer review

I've listed this article for peer review because the article had just passed GA and I am taking a shot nominating for FA. It's been six years since I last successfully nominated an article for FAC. Kind of nervous actually, but you never know until you try right?

Do not link "Miami, Florida" in the infobox per Template:Infobox album#Studio: "Link the studio, but not well-known cities, states, or countries..."
"It is a pop album that features ballads and uptempo numbers. Unlike Más, El Alma al Aire focuses more on the ballads." - "It is a pop album that features more ballads than its predecessor, as well as uptempo numbers."?
"The album was produced by Emanuele Ruffinengo, who worked with Sanz on his previous albums, while several musicians, such as Vicente Amigo, who worked with the artists on Más, collaborated with him once more." - this could be worded/structured better. Perhaps "The album was produced by Sanz's frequent collaborator Emanuele Ruffinengo, while other musicians, including Vicente Amigo, returned to collaborate with the artist following Más."?
Unlink "music critics" and "singles" as these are common terms (WP:OVERLINK).
"Sanz received several accolades" - wasn't *the album* instead of Sanz?
"it topped the Spanish albums charts" - "it topped the Spanish albums chart"
"where it was the best-selling album of the year" - which year?
I think the copies could be removed from the lead and left for Commercial performance.
"with music videos being filmed for all three singles" - "with music videos accompanying all three singles" to clarify that they were also released.
"Sanz embarked on his El Alma Al Aire Tour in 2001" - "Sanz embarked on El Alma al Aire Tour in 2001"
Is the set list of the tour relevant for the lead section of the *album*?
"Sanz moved to Miami and began working on his next disc" - I have seen "record"/"album"/"release"/"project" being more used than "disc" in this context.
"Recording took place at the Hit Factory in Miami, Florida, with Emanuele Ruffinengo handling the album's production. Ruffinengo had previously produced Sanz's last two studio albums" - "Recording took place at the Hit Factory in Miami, Florida, while Emanuele Ruffinengo handled the album's production; he had produced Sanz's previous two studio albums"
"The album's title, El Alma al Aire, was announced on 7 July 2000, and it would feature ten original songs." - this reads a bit off for me. Try "On 7 July 2000, Sanz announced the album's title, El Alma al Aire, and revealed that it would feature ten original songs."
"In addition, he also" - these two are redundant.
I think the quotes could be trimmed a bit in Composition.
All quotes you leave should be properly attributed, e.g. "flamenco-tinged", "the latter being described as "nostalgic"". According to who?
"El Alma al Aire is a contemporary pop album" - this can be outdated so, per MOS:RELTIME, just remove "contemporary". By the way, the sentence that it starts has a lot of information so it could be separated.
"and has a little bit of swing influence" - just "and contains influences of swing music".
Why aren't the tracks in order in Composition?
Link "special edition" in Release.
You can follow WP:RECEPTION for the Critical reception section.
"Seven days later at the Premios Amigo, also in Spain" - it doesn't say that the previous awards were held in Spain.
I don't think the "album charts" link is appropiate. Just link it after in "Productores de Música de España".
"In South America, the disc" - same as before about the "disc" part.
"In the US, it debuted and peaked at numbers 148 and 3 on the Billboard 200 and Top Latin Albums charts." - add "respectively" or just do it in order.
I believe "All tracks are written by Alejandro Sanz, except where noted." should only be once, placed at the top of the section.
Personnel should be before the charts and certifications per MOS:ALBUM.
File needs alt text.

I think this is all, prose and style-wise. CatchMe (talk · contribs) 05:54, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
