Release and cover

[edit]

The album was released on October 28, 2021, this is the first debut with the Sony Music Latin record label.[3] The cover of Parte de Mí is a puzzle-based design; "I think the cover is a good representation of human beings, showing that we are all the sum of fragments, cuts, parts. We liked to play with the idea of a puzzle to show that it is in any order, we are all the total of various little things that complete us and make us who we are", explained the singer.[4]

Singles

[edit]

The singer released "Colocao" on May 14, 2020, as the first single from the album, which represented her first contribution to Sony Music Latin.[11] The song reached position #6 on the Argentina Hot 100 chart and was its first entry on the Spanish chart, where it peaked at number #48.[12][13] In addition, she received a gold Latin record in US by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and gold Mexico, a platinum record in Spain and a double platinum record in Argentina.[14][15][16] Her music video was filmed by Nicki Nicole herself with the help of her brothers at her home during the quarantine, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in Buenos Aires and was directed by Jessica Praznik from a distance.[17]

The second single from the album, "Mala Vida," was released on September 5, 2020.[18] From a commercial point of view, it obtained a positive response although it only managed to enter the lists of two countries, Argentina and Spain.[19][20] The music video was a tribute to The Godfather; In Nicki's words: "Mala Vida arose after seeing The Godfather saga, I had never seen it and in three nights together with my producers we saw it in its entirety. From there I was born a lot of inspiration, to create something with a mafia style, but with my ideas. This is how ‘Mala Vida’ came about and with an incredible video it was perfectly captured. I always wanted to make a video based on a trailer and The Godfather and Italian culture was the trigger and my inspiration".[21] "Verte," featuring Argentine singer Dread Mar I and Argentine producer Bizarrap, was released as the third single from the album on December 10, 2020.[22] The song shows a new facet of the three musicians through a fusion between reggae, pop and rap.[23] This reached its maximum peak in the Argentina Hot 100 the following year, placing it in position #14.[24]
