Utopía is the fourth studio album by American singer Romeo Santos, released on April 5, 2019, by Sony Music Latin.{{cite web|url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/utop%C3%ADa/1458398617|title=Utopía by Romeo Santos|date=5 April 2019|publisher=Apple Music|access-date=November 21, 2019}} This album featured collaborations with some of the greatest artist in the history of bachata. It also included the reunion of Aventura as Romeo along with Henry, Lenny, and Max would release their first single as a group in 10 years.
Singles
The album was supported by the successful singles: "Inmortal" by Aventura, "La Demanda" with Raulín Rodríguez, "Payasos" with Frank Reyes, "Canalla" with El Chaval de la Bachata, "Millonario" with Elvis Martínez, "Me Quedo" with Zacarías Ferreira, "Ileso" with Teodoro Reyes, "Amor Enterrado" with Joe Veras, "El Beso Que No Le Di" with Kiko Rodríguez, "Años Luz" with Monchy & Alexandra and "Los Últimos" with Luis Vargas. It features guest appearances on every full length track. Every song has its own music video except for the song "Bellas". It might be because it is the only track not owned by Romeo as it belongs to Anthony Santos. Romeo was a featured artist, but the song was not his. Also, it was originally released as a single in 2018 for Anthony Santos' twenty-fourth studio album, La Historia De Mi Vida: El Final, Vol. 1.
Promotion and tour
To promote the album, Santos performed a single concert in the United States at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey in front of 80,000 fans on September 21, 2019. It broke the record for the biggest audience to attend the venue, surpassing U2.{{Cite web|url=https://www.livenationentertainment.com/2019/09/romeo-santos-makes-history-at-metlife-stadium-breaking-the-all-time-concert-gross-record-in-a-single-night-2/|title=Romeo Santos Makes History At MetLife Stadium Breaking The All-Time Concert Gross Record In A Single Night|date=2019-09-23|website=Live Nation Entertainment|language=en-US|access-date=2019-12-12}}{{Cite web|url=https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2019/09/22/romeo-santos-historia-primer-artista-latino-metlife-stadium/|title=Romeo Santos acaba de hacer historia como el primer artista latino en llenar el MetLife Stadium|date=2019-09-22|website=CNN|language=es-ES|access-date=2019-12-12}} It was later announced that Santos would embark on a tour of the Dominican Republic called Utopia: La Gira del Pueblo, with Santos explaining that the tour would visit cities he had not previously performed in.
