"ROMEO SANTOS: For a decade now, bachata has belonged to Mr. Santos, who as the frontman of Aventura, has been one of the most prominent Latin singers in the country. “Formula Vol. 1” will be his solo debut, moving him away from the comfort zone of his old able band mates, and from the nest of bachata. Mr. Santos is broadening his palette here, including “Promise,” a collaboration with Usher. Nov. 8. Sony Latin." – THE NEW YORK TIMES, “The New Season: POP”, 9/18/11
