"Otra Parte De Mí" is the debut solo album from Colombian artist Manu, a former member of the popular group Los Tri-O. Released on October 14, 2008, under Aleco Records, this 12-track Latin pop album spans a concise 48 minutes, offering a blend of heartfelt ballads and upbeat tracks that showcase Manu's versatility as a singer-songwriter.
The album opens with "Algo Contigo," setting the tone for a collection that explores themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Standout tracks like "Te Amo" and "No Vale La Pena" highlight Manu's ability to convey raw emotion through his music, while "No Pretendo Ser" (featured in both its original and regional Mexican versions) demonstrates his adaptability across different musical styles. The album also includes the track "Put it on," which gained unexpected attention when it was used in political propaganda without Manu's permission.
With its catchy melodies and relatable lyrics, "Otra Parte De Mí" is a testament to Manu's artistic growth and his ability to connect with audiences. Whether you're a fan of Latin pop or simply appreciate well-crafted music, this album is a worthy addition to your collection.
