Amore Mio (Thalía album)

Thalía released the lead single "Por Lo Que Reste De Vida" on September 9, 2014. The music video of the song premiered on Primer Impacto on October 13, 2014. One day later, it was uploaded on Thalia's official VEVO account on YouTube. The single gained moderate success in the charts, especially in Mexico, where it reached the #2[3] position in the Spanish Airplay chart, published by Billboard. The song also reached #19 in the US Latin Pop chart.[4] The song was praised by both fans and critics, especially for its powerful lyrics written by Ricardo Montaner, and Thalia's vocals. However, it was labeled as a weak choice for a first single, leading to the album's first week moderate sales in the United States, where it debuted at the #1 position in both the Latin Pop and Top Latin albums charts, but failed to become a big seller for that week or at least maintain its success.

The second US single of the album is "Como Tú No Hay Dos", a duet with Becky G. The song was sent to Spanish contemporary radio format in the US on January 20, 2015. The music video of the song was filmed in New York on February 9, 2015. Thalia performed the song alongside Becky G at the Lo Nuestro awards on February 19, 2015. On March 19, 2015 the official video premiered on Thalia's VEVO Channel. After its release, the music video had some controversy as it was being compared to the music video "On The Floor" by American singer Jennifer Lopez for some similarities.[5]

In the Mexican territory, the homonymous song of the album ("Amore Mio") was officially announced by Sony Music as the second single of the album. The song debuted in Mexico's general airplay chart, gaining even more airplay than the album's first single and peaking at #1. In the pop chart, published by Monitor Latino, the song peaked at #1.

On February 10, 2015 Thalía announced that "Sólo Parecía Amor" will be the album's official third single, and on the same day she filmed the song's music video. The song also peaked at #1 in Mexico.[6]

Thalía has mentioned in many of the promotion interviews that she plans to further support and promote the album with a tour that would coincide with the celebration of the 25th anniversary of her career as a solo artist. She said: "It's something big and we should celebrate it as it deserves. I hope to have an Amore Mio Tour after the new songs become more familiar in the public".

The album was praised by the majority of music critics, and fans as well. Thom Jurek of AllMusic rated the album with 3.5 out of 5 stars, stating that "Amore Mio attempts to walk the balance between the organic and the synthetic". He also praised the two collaborations of the album, "Tranquila" because it "features stacked, nearly flamenco-styled vocals and skittering hip-hop beats as Fat Joe offers shouted crew support", and "Como Tú No Hay Dos" for its "dramatic acoustic guitars, accordion, and four-on-the-floor beats". He also mentioned that "the spoken word that introduces "Tú Puedes Ser" frames one of the most uplifting and sincere performances on the disc".[7]

Judy Cantor-Navas of Rhapsody also gave a favorable review, mentioning that "the ballad "Por Lo Que Reste de Vida" spotlights a stripped-down Thalia, starting with a spare arrangement with voice and piano with musical drama following as the track quickly crescendos to a passionate, full-band climax".

The album debuted at the top position on the Mexican charts and the U.S. Latin and Latin Pop albums chart. The album also peaked at number 173 on the Billboard 200 and 55 on the Spanish albums chart.
