Rebels is the fourth and first English-language studio album by Mexican pop group RBD, released on December 19, 2006.[3]
The album contains songs from the group's previous studio albums that were translated into English for the release, as well as new songs that were recorded exclusively for the album. Rebels falls into the genres of Latin pop and pop rock, with dance-pop and R&B stylings, which were new music styles for the group.[4][1]
To promote the album, only two official singles were released off the album. On September 22, 2006, the album's lead single was released, a ballad titled "Tu Amor", which was composed by Diane Warren. With the song, the group won the Les Etoiles Cherie award in France for 'International Song of the Year'[5] and a Mi TRL award for 'Best Music Video'.[6] The album's second single was "Wanna Play", which was released only in the United States. The single did not have an accompanying music video. The third and last single to be released from the album was planned to be "Money Money", but the song only managed to be released as a promotional single in Spain on December 19, 2006.[7]
On March 21, 2007, a reissue of the album, titled We Are RBD, was released only in Japan. The reissue included two new cover tracks: "Let the Music Play" and "Gone".
RBD member Christian Chávez mentioned that Rebels would be re-released again in late 2007 or early 2008 and that the new version would contain new songs and a collaboration with The Black Eyed Peas[8] on one of the tracks. The group's next single off the album was expected to be featured on this future re-release.[9] Billboard magazine even published that the second re-release would happen in early 2008 and it would feature three hip hop influenced songs.[10] As of the group's disband in 2009, nothing about the re-release was announced, so it is assumed to be, at least, canceled. More than 2,500,000 copies of the album were sold worldwide.
Album information
Rebels is RBD's first English-language album. The album was released on December 19, 2006 in the United States, although, in the booklet of previous album Celestial, it was noted that the album would come out December 26, 2006. The album leaked onto the Internet on December 9, 2006.
The tracks that were recorded in English originally from the former albums are:
- "Connected" ("Tenerte y quererte" from Rebelde)
- "Keep It Down Low" ("Solo quédate en silencio" from Rebelde)
- "Save Me" ("Sálvame" from Rebelde)
- "Happy Worst Day" ("Feliz cumpleaños" from Nuestro Amor)
- "This Is Love" ("Nuestro amor" from Nuestro Amor)
- "Gone" ("Me Voy" from Nuestro Amor)
- "My Philosophy" ("Dame" from Celestial)
- "I Wanna Be the Rain" ("Quisiera Ser" from Celestial)
"I Wanna Be the Rain" was first recorded in English, and then it was translated to Spanish for the album Celestial.
"Connected" has been covered by several different artists such as Sara Paxton, Katharine McPhee, Amy Diamond, Melissa Lyons (with Cassidy Ladden), and Suzanne Shaw.
The song "Money Money" is a reggaeton song that samples their previous hit in this genre, "Lento". Despite the English title, it's the only track on the album that is completely sung in Spanish.
The song "Gone", featured in the Japanese deluxe edition of the album, entitled We Are RBD, is a cover of a Kelly Clarkson's song of the same title, from her album Breakaway. They previously recorded a Spanish version of the song for their second album Nuestro Amor.
The album was released in Japan on March 21, 2007, and now is Platinum in Japan.
The album was the first RBD's studio album to not have a Portuguese version (the second and last Spanish albums to not are Empezar Desde Cero and Para Olvidarte De Mi).
