Confidencias (also known as Pillow Talk) is a studio album by Mexican performer Alejandro Fernández. It was recorded in Los Angeles, California, and released by Universal Music on August 27, 2013. The album features guest performances by the American singer Christina Aguilera, English vocalist Rod Stewart and Mexican performer Vicente Fernández. Upon release the album peaked at number one in Mexico and in the Latin charts in the United States.

Produced by Phil Ramone, the album features eleven songs and fifteen on the deluxe edition. The songs included are cover versions of tracks written or performed by Nelson Ned, Roberto Carlos, Miguel Gallardo, Manuel Alejandro, and Denise De Kalafe, among others. The lead single, "Hoy Tengo Ganas de Ti", performed with Aguilera was included on the Mexican telenovela La Tempestad and peaked at number-one in Mexico and in the Top Five of the Billboard Latin Songs chart.

Background and release
In November 2012, Mexican singer Alejandro Fernández finished a promotional tour in Mexico. Following the tour, Fernández met with English producer Phil Ramone, known for his work with Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Billy Joel, and Paul McCartney, to decide what kind of album they would record, eventually agreeing in a selection of songs previously recorded in the 70's, with new arrangements.

The album was released after Fernández' work on the Spanish-language version of the film Despicable Me 2.

Estoy muy contento con este disco, ya que en toda mi carrera nunca me había tardado tanto en sacar un material y fueron por diversas razones. Primero que nada el haber trabajado con Phil (Ramone), poder hacer un gran trabajo con este productor con un cariño y un respeto muy especial a nivel internacional de la industria de la música, fue uno de mis logros más grandes que he tenido en mi carrera. Empezamos a platicar para ver por dónde le íbamos a dar, lo que íbamos a hacer con la compañía y se nos hizo una gran idea poder trabajar con Phil teniendo grandes temas latinoamericanos, obras muy grandes de la década de los años 70 y que Phil le pusiera su toque en los arreglos. Desde hace aproximadamente un año y medio, perdón, como dos años y medio que tengo preparando este material discográfico. Nos hemos dado el tiempo para poder perfeccionarlo y poderlo sacar sin prisas y feliz de poderlo tener en la mano, completito y con la esperanza de que el público se quede con un muy buen sabor de boca después de que lo escuchen completo.

since 2011.

Cuban saxophonist and clarinet player Paquito D'Rivera decided to record an album paying tribute to Brazilian music after being invited by several Brazilian performers to play their native music. D'Rivera also featured in Americanos: Latino Life in the United States, a 2000 documentary produced by American actor Edward James Olmos, representing Brazil. "I feel a great passion for the culture and music of Brazil, and it gives me pleasure to declare publicly that my heart is half Brazilian," D'Rivera declared on his autobiography My Sax Life (2005). The album features the American group New York Voices since D'Rivera has always been an admirer of vocal quartets and wanted to "kill two birds with one stone". He further explained that in Cuba "musicians listened to radio stations from Miami mostly for the jingles sung by gringo vocal groups." Brazilian Dreams was released by MCG Jazz on August 27, 2002 and was the tenth album recorded by the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild, following A Nancy Wilson Christmas by Nancy Wilson, Joe Williams Presents: Nicole Yarling Live at The Manchester Craftsman Guild and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Stars's Things to Come, among others.
