Double Vision
Prince Royce
Double Vision is Prince Royce’s fourth studio album and his first primarily English-language record, released on July 24, 2015 by RCA Records. Conceived as a crossover project, it shifts the focus from his established bachata sound toward polished pop, R&B, and EDM‑influenced tracks aimed at the wider U.S. and global Top 40 market. The album (16 tracks in its deluxe edition) includes the singles “Stuck on a Feeling” featuring Snoop Dogg and “Back It Up” featuring Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull, along with songs like “Handcuffs,” “Dangerous,” “Extraordinary,” “Lucky One,” “There for You,” and “Seal It With a Kiss,” which highlight different facets of his R&B‑styled vocals over glossy, radio‑ready production. For this release, Royce worked with a slate of major pop producers and writers, including Illya Salmanzadeh, Savan Kotecha, Jason Evigan, Toby Gad, Roccstar, and Nasri, underscoring its ambition as a mainstream English‑language pop debut.
Conceptually, Double Vision is framed as a reflection of Royce’s “two sides”: the Dominican‑rooted bachata star and the Bronx‑raised kid who grew up on R&B radio, with this album putting that second side front and center. While the bulk of the tracklist favours dance‑pop and R&B grooves, critics noted that he stands out most when he leans back into his tropical and bachata influences, as on “There for You” and “Lucky One,” whose guitar‑laced, tropical feel and bachata sweetness recall his earlier Spanish‑language hits. Reviews were mixed but generally acknowledged that Double Vision is a slick, modern, well‑produced pop album that eases Royce into the English‑language market with a blend of club‑ready songs and swoon‑worthy ballads, seasoned with moderate Latin flavour and driven by his supple, adaptable voice.
