1998 single by Gloria Estefan
"Oye" (Listen! or Hey! ) is a 1998 song by American singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan . It was released as the second single by Epic Records from her eighth studio album, gloria! . The song was written by Estefan, her husband Emilio Estefan, Jr. , Randall Barlow and Angie Chirino and produced by Estefan, Jr. and Tony Moran . The song bears the most resemblance to a club song on the entire album and probably the one that became the most popular with this release. Unfortunately, in the US the single was planned for commercial release on July 14, 1998 on various formats (CD Single, CD-Maxi Single, Cassette Single, 7" & 12" Vinyl), but at the last minute the release was cancelled. The single was released worldwide in many other countries and took the highest position on many charts, including number-one in Spain and on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
The song earned the Billboard Latin Music Award for "Best Latin Club-Dance Track of the Year".
Critical reception [ ]
J.D. Considine from The Baltimore Sun said that "Oye" is "where latin meets disco most effectively. Basically a sort of techno -salsa fusion, it combines the thumping regularity of electronics with the soulful release of Afro-Cuban rhythm, a combination so potent it makes dancing an almost involuntary response."[1] Also Ben Wener from Beaver Country Times noted the "bouncing Afro-Cuban flourishes" of the song.[2] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the second single from "La Glo's slammin' dance opus", "gloria! ", "sidesteps the disco demeanor of the previous "Heaven's What I Feel " in favor of a percussive salsa flavor." He added, "Once again, the veteran singer manages to surprise and delight, delivering a bilingual performance that is fraught with smoldering sensuality. She is bolstered by an arrangement that teeters between current club sounds and the shoulder-shakin' tone of her Miami Sound Machine breakthrough, "Conga ". In fact, if you've been pining away for a jam that captures the party vibe of that classic recording, look no further."[3] Joey Guerra from Houston Chronicle stated that it has one of the album's "strongest punches", noting it as a "sweltering bilingual cut that recalls" Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin 's international smash "Maria ".[4] Victoria Segal from NME said that songs like "Oye" "speak the international language of tedium".[5] Vibe noted that it have a "ferocious new energy and a vocal spark that Estefan hasn't previously displayed."[6]
Music video [ ]
A music video was made to accompany the song. It was directed by Argentinian director Gustavo Garzón and features Estefan performing the song in a nightclub.
