{"product_id":"phase_ii","title":"Phase II","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhase II is Prince Royce’s second studio album, released on April 10, 2012 by Top Stop Music and distributed by Atlantic Records. Following the success of his 2010 self‑titled debut, this record aims to expand his sound beyond traditional bachata while still centering romantic themes and bilingual lyrics. The core album contains 12 tracks (often presented as 13 with the acoustic “Dulce” bonus), running about 46 minutes: “Prelude” (featuring poet La Bruja), “Incondicional,” “Las Cosas Pequeñas,” “Addicted,” “Eres Tú,” “Memorias,” “Hecha Para Mí” \/ “Para Mí,” “Close to You,” “Dulce,” “Mi Habitación,” “It’s My Time,” and “Te Me Vas,” plus an acoustic piano version of “Dulce” with Arthur Hanlon on some editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStylistically, Phase II incorporates bachata, Latin pop, R\u0026amp;B, and even mariachi, with songs in both Spanish and English and melodies that are more varied than traditional bachata norms. “Las Cosas Pequeñas,” the lead single, is a romantic bachata ballad about appreciating small gestures in love; it debuted at number 1 on Billboard’s Tropical Songs chart and later topped the Hot Latin Songs chart. “Incondicional” fuses bachata with mariachi flourishes, while “Addicted” and “It’s My Time” lean more toward pop\/R\u0026amp;B crossover. The album’s mix of smooth, feather‑light vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and soft yet danceable arrangements helped solidify Royce’s style as accessible and modern, and commercially it reached number 1 on the US Latin Albums and Tropical Albums charts, was certified Latin Platinum by the RIAA within six months, and earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Tropical Fusion Album, confirming that he could successfully build on his breakout debut.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ 2LP","offer_id":53835737530682,"sku":"39634","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-08-03_at_2.23.22_PM.jpeg?v=1785781481","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/phase_ii","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
