Background

On May 27, 2020, Anuel AA announced and revealed the tracklist for Emmanuel.[2] Anuel AA had originally planned to release the album in April, but postponed the date due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Regarding the title of the album, the artist explained, "It's my name and it means 'God with us'. I wanted the album to have that good vibe. It's my life, made into music".[1]

On the day of the album's release, he promoted the album by launching three luxury yachts off the coast of Miami's Isle of Normandy neighborhood.[3] Each yacht had the name Emmanuel written on the side and played his music at high volume. The rapper explained his promotional strategy by saying, "Everybody does their release party in a club. And with coronavirus? I wouldn't go to the club right now!".[3]

Reception

Suzy Exposito of Rolling Stone called the album "a sonic feast that every bit as show-stopping, however indulgent, as his fleet of party boats...Even in the most crowded of featured tracks, Anuel’s hardy baritone cuts right through, leaving in his wake the smallest glint of pop sparkle".[3] Griselda Flores of Billboard opined that several of the collaboration choices were "surprising" and stated "Emmanuel is a versatile album that has fresh music for the clubs, the street life, and even sentimental bops."[4]
