Crespo first gained fame in the mid-90s when he joined Grupo Mania, in Puerto Rico. Eventually he decided to try to go solo in 1998. His debut album, Suavemente was a hit, both in Latin America and in the US. The single "Suavemente" was a huge hit and eventually helped him earn the Best Male Tropical/Salsa Album of the Year from Billboard magazine.
His album went platinum in the Venezuelan and Central American markets and gold in Chile. Released in 1998, Crespo's debut also earned a gold album for sales of over 500,000 copies in the first year after its release in the United States. "Suavemente" set a record for holding the top position on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart for six weeks, longer than any other merengue single. Part of the song's success was its unexpected crossover appeal to English-speaking listeners, particularly in Miami and New York.
His album was mostly merengue influenced, but his follow-up albums would venture from these roots eventually.
Wow Flash! is Elvis Crespo's third solo recording for Sony Music.
Elvis Crespo's latest album, Regresó el Jefe, went on sale on 5 June 2007, with its first single being "La Foto Se Me Borró." He dedicated this album to his niece, Wilmarie Agosto Crespo, who died in a car accident on March 28, 2007.
A Medias
Elvis Crespo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya no eres la misma de ayer
Dime donde se fueron
Los suenos que yo te invente
Ya no finjas, los ojos no saben
Mentir
Como ves y esta claro
Que lo que sentías por mi ya se fue
Si no hay nada que hacer
No te voy a insistir
Es mejor que estés libre
Y decidas que es lo mejor para ti
Mas si aun vivo en ti, si algo queda
De mi, moveré cielo y tierra
Y haré lo que sea por no dejarte ir
A medias no me sirve el
Amor, a medias no me alcanza
Para que quiero amar con locura y
Pasión a quien ya no me ama
A medias no me sirve el amor,
A medias no me basta
No te puedo engañar
La verdad no te has ido
Y ya me haces falta
No te voy a negar
Que me duele pensar que perdí,
Pero aun la esperanza
No ha muerto aquí dentro de mi,
Y por eso te pido que aclares
Nuestra situación
No valdría lo pena seguir
Si no nos amamos los dos
Si no hay nada que hacer
No te voy a insistir
Es mejor que estés libre
Y decidas que es lo mejor para ti
Mas si aun vivo en ti
Si algo queda de mi
Moveré cielo y tierra
Y haré lo que sea por no dejarte ir
A medias no me sirve el amor
The song A Medias by Elvis Crespo is about a relationship that has gone stale and the singer is questioning why his partner has changed. He asks her to be honest about where the dreams and desires that he invented for her have gone. He realizes that the love she once had for him is gone and he does not want to force her to stay if she no longer feels the same way. However, if she still has any feelings for him, he will do whatever it takes to keep her in his life. He emphasizes that half-hearted love is not enough for him and he cannot deceive himself into staying in a relationship where the love has faded away.
The lyrics of the song are emotional and heartfelt, portraying the pain of losing someone you love and the desire to hold on to them. The singer’s vulnerability is palpable, making the listener empathize with his situation. The desire for honesty and clarity in the situation is emphasized, as it is better to be free than to hold on to something that is not working.
