Dale won a Grammy award for the Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, becoming Pitbull's first Grammy award win.

Background

The teaser was accompany for the release of Dale, which was released by Pitbull via Facebook and Twitter on May 6, 2015. He announced that the album will be released this summer. On May 19, 2015 Farruko uploaded, on Facebook, a short preview of the track "Hoy Se Bebe" featured on "Dale". On June 27, Pitbull announced the official track list: the album includes collaborations with Farruko, Fuego, El Micha, Ricky Martin, Mohombi, Wisin & Yandel, Osmani Garcia, Sensato del Patio, Don Miguelo,El Chevo, and more! In the interview for Billboard, Pitbull said: "It was about time (for 2nd Spanish album). You have records for the clubs and the streets. You have your huge records like “Baddest Girl in Town” which has sort of a Michael Jackson vibe. You have “Haciendo ruido” with Ricky Martin which has a big world feel to it. “No puedes más” with Yandel [which references “Don’t You Want Me Baby”], there’s nothing in Spanish radio like that. The Yandel record has that ’80s feel to it. That’s my favorite record on the album." [1]

AllMusic critic David Jeffries wrote: "It's the Pitbull album that feels most like a party with all these friends dropping in and out, and this wild night out peaks toward the end with the highlights running from the club-worthy "Baddest Girl in Town" (the first clue that this album isn't all-Spanish like Armando) to the '80s-flavored, Human League-quoting "No Puedo Más.""[2] Jed Gottlieb of Boston Herald stated "If you really miss Pit’s lyrics, I suggest you make your own. I’m sure they’ll be better than “Big news, Pitbull, Tom Cruise, Mumbai I lit up their December night like the fourth of July, Vanilla Sky.”"[4] Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone noted that unlike Pitbull's previous Spanish language effort Armando, Dale "skips EDM and Southern hip-hop almost entirely in favor of a fuller Latin-fusion sound."[3] The American edition of Rolling Stone magazine placed Dale at number 2 in the list for the "10 Best Latin Albums of the Year", arguing that the singer "volleys between English and Spanish with ease, flirting with dancehall and guaguancó elements, while bringing MCs from neighboring islands along for the ride."[5]
