album by Yandel
Update (stylized #Update) is the fourth studio album (sixth overall) by Puerto Rican singer and songwriter Yandel, released on September 8, 2017, under Sony Music Latin. It was released two years after his previous studio album, Dangerous.
Lyrically, Update explores themes ranging from romance, sex, and dance. Yandel enlisted longtime collaborators Tainy and Haze, as well as other producers including Sky, Bullnene, The Rude Boyz, Jumbo, DJ Luian, and Mambo Kingz. Musically, the record is a mixture of reggaeton, Latin trap, and R&B music, with influences of American and European sounds. The album features nine vocal collaborations: Wisin, Zion & Lennox, Maluma, J Balvin, Plan B, Ozuna, Luis Fonsi, Becky G, and Bad Bunny.
Background
Yandel's previous studio albums, De Líder a Leyenda and Dangerous, were commercially successful in the US Latin market, both topping the US Top Latin Albums chart and eventually selling more than 90,000 album-equivalent units combined. The lead single of Dangerous, "Encantadora", received Latin Grammy Awards for Best Urban Song and Best Urban Fusion/Performance at the 17th Annual Latin Grammy Awards. In March 2016, he became the first Puerto Rican act to sign with American rapper Jay-Z's record label Roc Nation. He was also honored by the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame on October 13, 2016, for having reached "outstanding achievements" and having "contributed to the development of the Latin music".
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Update (Yandel album)” as album by Yandel. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as album by Yandel. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30919232. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017 and 2016.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
