Escape (Enrique Iglesias album)

Escape is the fifth studio album and second English-language album recorded by Spanish singer and songwriter Enrique Iglesias. It was released by Interscope Records on 30 October 2001. Iglesias co-wrote and co-produced the album, marking a return to a more straightforward pop sound with influences from 1980s guitar rock, and collaborated with previous hitmakers like Paul Barry and Mark Taylor, as well as Steve Morales and Kara DioGuardi. Many of the songs originated from simple title ideas.

The album received mixed reviews, with some critics praising its catchy pop style and commercial appeal, while others criticized its lack of depth and artistic originality. Commercially, Escape proved to be even more successful than its predecessor, Enrique (1999), having sold over 8 million copies worldwide. The album spawned five singles: "Hero", "Escape", "Don't Turn Off the Lights", "Love to See You Cry", and "Maybe", all of which became chart hits. In November 2002 a second edition of the album was released with two new tracks: a new version of "Maybe" and "To Love a Woman."
