Background
In 1996, RMM executive Ralph Mercado mentioned the possibility of Marc Anthony recording an English-language album following a joint-venture between MCA Records and RMM, Anthony's label at the time.[1] Anthony said he would not record in English until he felt he was ready to do so.[2] After the release of his third studio album Contra la Corriente in 1997, disputes over business practices between him and Mercado arose when a check Anthony wrote for his daughter bounced. Anthony hired his brother Bigram Zayas to investigate Mercado's business dealings.[3] Mercado would not allow Anthony to leave RMM because his contract committed Anthony to record four more albums for the label.[4]
Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola had approached Anthony to sign a contract to record an album during the peak period of Latin artists crossing over to the Anglophone market.[5] Anthony's contract with RMM, however, denied him the right to record in Spanish for Columbia Records.[6] This situation resulted in a lawsuit against Mercado because Anthony did not want to work under him anymore.[3] As part of the settlement, RMM Records retained the rights to Anthony's earlier albums and to release a compilation album from them while Anthony no longer had any obligations to RMM.[7]
After being signed to Columbia Records, Mottola hired Cory Rooney, Rodney Jenkins, and Walter Afanasieff to produce Anthony's next album. Anthony's next album. Anthony, along with his associates, co-wrote most of the tracks on the album.[5] [8] Anthony described his eponymous disc as the "most personal album by far", and refuted the idea he was another Latin artist to crossing over to the Anglophone market because he had already recorded the English-language album, When the Night is Over (1991).[8] One of the songs Anthony wrote with Rooney is "You Sang to Me", which according to the artist, was the first track he composed for the album.[9] Rooney also handled the song's production.[10]
Music and lyrics
"You Sang to Me" is a mid-tempo, pop ballad[11] [12] that includes elements of Latin, R&B, and adult contemporary genres.[13] Anthony's vocals are accompanied by acoustic guitars and keyboards, and an accordion solo.[14] According to Celia Fernandez of O, The Oprah Magazine, the song tells "the story of a man not realizing he had let the love of his life walk away while still being with someone else".[15] In an interview with Jam!, Anthony described the process of composing the song:
In the song, Anthony chants, "Just to think you live inside of me/I had no idea how this could be/Now I'm crazy for your love".[10] In 2007, Anthony said the song was inspired by his emotions for American entertainer Jennifer Lopez.[16] The duo married in 2004 and divorced ten years later.[17] Lopez referenced "You Sang to Me" in her song "One Love" following their separation, singing, "You sang to me, but I’m not sure".[18] Anthony also recorded a Spanish-language version of the song titled "Muy Dentro de Mi", which includes additional lyrical contributions from Roberto Blades, and Ricardo and Alberto Gaitán.
Release and promotion
Columbia Records released "You Sang to Me" as the second single from Marc Anthony in 2000.[19] The song was first released on the soundtrack for Runaway Bride, prior to the release of Marc Anthony.[20] It was serviced to adult contemporary, hot adult contemporary, and rhythmic contemporary radio on February 7 and 8, 2000.[21] [22] In Europe, on April 25, 2000, it was issued as a CD single containing remixes of the song.[23] "Muy Dentro de Mi" was later included on Anthony's compilation album (2006).[24]
Jeff Richter directed the accompanying music video for "You Sang to Me", which was filmed in New York City.[25] In the video, Anthony is portrayed as a painter and becomes enamored with his assistant, played by Australian model Kristy Hinze. Anthony and Hinze are depicted shopping, ice-skating in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, and dining together.[26] When Anthony proposes to Hinze, she runs away. In the end, Anthony is alone at an art exhibition when Hinze appears behind him, and they rekindle their love.[27] According to the New York Daily News editors George Rush and Joanna Molly, "Anthony has a guardian angel who appears in the form of a homeless man" and is portrayed by Felipe Muniz, the singer's father.[26]
Anthony performed "You Sang to Me" on the promotional tour for Marc Anthony. He performed the song at Madison Square Garden as an encore; this performance is included on the video album The Concert from Madison Square Garden.[28] "You Sang to Me" was included on set lists of Anthony's 2002 tour,[29] and his and Lopez's El Cantante Tour (2007–2008).[30]
Critical reception
Following its release, "You Sang to Me" was met with positive reactions from music critics, praising Anthony's vocals and the song's arrangements. Billboard editor Chuck Taylor called "You Sang to Me" a "stunningly beautiful track" and said the song "will not only feed the souls of those in love but remind those who are wishing to find it again what it ideally feels like".[10] Taylor also wrote, "unlike many songs of devotion, Anthony's lyrics truly makes you perk up your ears and consider every line; it's as if you can envision Anthony sitting in a hotel room writing each verse, as he pines for his own love".[10] The Village Voice writer Grace Bastidas noted both "You Sang to Me" and "That's Okay" "show off his range the best".[31] Richard Harrington of The Washington Post stated Anthony summons the "exhilaration of infatuation" on the song.[32] Jon Bream, writing for Star Tribune, said the song has a "strong melody and a big ending".[33] Reviewing the soundtrack of Runaway Bride, Houston Chronicles Bruce Westbrook called "You Sang to Me" the "best of ballads", and complimented its "potent hooks and harmonies".[34]
Baltimore Sun writer JD Considine complimented Anthony for being able to "pull every bit of emotion from a lyric" on "You Sang to Me".[35] Ed Morales, also of The Village Voice, commented Anthony's "well-rehearsed and intoxicating voice" turns "When I Dream at Night" and "You Sang to Me" into "unexpectedly emotional experiences".[36] Los Angeles Times critic Ernesto Lechner praised the track's "serene" keyboards.[37] The Morning Call editor Paul Willistein said "You Sang to Me" is "another sweet miptempo offering" on the album.[38] In an unfavorable review of the film's soundtrack, Jennifer Barrs of the Tampa Tribune was more critical of the track and panned Anthony for singing only three notes in the song.[39]
Accolades
In 2020, Billboard ranked "You Sang to Me" as the 68th-best song of 2000.[14] Celia Fernandez of the Daily Oprah listed it as the fifth-best song by Marc Anthony.[15] Listing only his English-language songs, Classic Rock History writer Michele Johnson ranked it as Anthony's fifth-best song.[40] Chaospin contributor Linda Giantino placed "You Sang to Me" as the best song by Anthony.[41]
