La Esperanza Frente a Mi is the fourth studio album recorded by American singer Danny Gokey. It is a Spanish reissue of Gokey's second studio album, Hope in Front of Me (2014). The album was released July 29, 2016 through BMG Rights Management.[1] It was supported by the single "Que Tu Corazón Vuelva a Latir", which was released in promotion of both versions of the album.[2]

Content

La Esperanza Frente a Mi is a track-by-track re-recording of Hope in Front of Me, performed in the Spanish language. Gokey describes the collection as songs that "defined his life" and became the "soundtrack to his mission."[3] The album additionally contains a tropical remix of "Que Tu Corazón Vuelva a Latir" and a salsa remix of "La Esperanza Frente a Mi".[1]

Gokey was inspired to learn Spanish by his late first wife, Sophia, who was latina.[4] He struggled with the language in high school.[3]

Promotion

On May 6, 2016, Gokey released an extended play containing five language-variant versions of the third single from Hope in Front of Me, titled "Tell Your Heart to Beat Again".[2] The collection included the original, a Spanglish version, and a purely Spanish version titled "Que Tu Corazón Vuelva a Latir", in addition to two remixes of the original. While not promoted to the Latin American market, the original English version was a success in the Christian market.[5]

Gokey also premiered the salsa remix of the title track, "La Esperanza Frente a Mi", exclusively on Billboard the day before the album's release, on July 28, 2016.[3]
