Jencarlos Canela Opens Up About New Album

By Michael Lopez

All across the country today, thousands of Jencarlos Canela fans are pumping up their iPods and earbuds. That's because his brand new album, Un Nuevo Dia, has finally arrived and the Cuban-American star couldn't be more excited about it.

"We worked so hard on this album," Canela proudly told Latina. "Sometimes we were working in the studio til three in the morning. I got to do some amazing collaborations with great friends of mine and artists that I admire, like El Cata and Pitbull, who's like my brother."

Another big asset of Un Nuevo Dia is its English single, "All I Need Is Your Love." The track happens to be Jencarlos' first non-Spanish recording and expectations are high that it could become a crossover smash.

"The best thing about this album is we have an English track," Canela explained. "I feel like I'm finally being honest with myself, by singing in both English and Spanish. I think we're going to definitely start moving in that direction [of recording more English language music], without abandoning the fans that brought me here."

Throughout the interview, Jencarlos also offered insight on his hit Spanish soap, his passion for charity work, and his close relationship with his parents. Interestingly, one topic that didn't come up was his alleged girlfriend, Gaby Espino.

When asked about his romantic status, Canela said,

"I don't have a girlfriend right now. I'm very happy right now. I’m in a very happy place."
