iDon (also stylized as iDON and idon) is the third studio album by Puerto Rican reggaeton performer Don Omar released worldwide on April 28, 2009, through Universal Music Group and Machete Music. The album was assumed to be named Icon when news of the upcoming album circulated the internet, but was later confirmed to be named iDon in November 2008.

The album received a nomination for the Billboard Latin Music Award for Latin Rhythm Album of the Year in 2010. Also the album was received nomination for the Latin Grammy Awards for Best Urban Music Album in 2009.

Background

On May 2007, during the King of Kings Tour, Omar expresed on an interview, his intentions of recording an english lenguage album but those plans were latter scraped. According to the artist, the recording seasons for Idon took 18 months to be finished. Don Omar explained that he was involved in every detail of the production and the recording process.

As of 2009, Don Omar sold 1.5 millons of copies in the United States of his three first studios albums while King of Kings were the best seller with 515,000 copies. According to Skander Goucha, VP of digital for Universal Music Latin Entertainment (UMLE), expresed that the were expecting IDon to be the best selling digital latin album of the year. Also, explained that Don Omar already was the best selling digital artist of the label with 4 million of digital mobile downloads. In addition, in May, Omar woule become Universal's first Latin artist to have an IPhone and IPod Touch application that will allow fans to download constantly updated content and recorded messages.

iDON, the album, is an epic musical event that represents the new chapter in the Don Omar saga. The album, scheduled for an April 28 release, is the brand new studio album that details the transformation of the visionary recording artist into iDON, a half man-half machine creation. A transformation of the international superstar into a cybernetic being.
— Machete Music, Universal Music Group

Conception

The concept of the album was revealed when Universal Music Group described the music on the album as "an evolution of Don Omar's music fusing electronic, dance, hip-hop and reggaeton sounds as the musical landscape for the Latin music superstar's revolutionary lyrics." The label also stated that the album "will be supported by visual and marketing campaign elements focused on positioning Don Omar as the defining artist for the digital age and the leader of the music world's next generation." The record label also described iDon to be "one of the most anticipated albums in the history of Latin music." As stated above, the album is expected to have an overall electro-dance vibe with an urban touch to it.

On an Interview on April 2009, Don Omar explained that he created the "IDON" project as an ongoing saga that can unfold into more albums or more digital tracks. Already, there are songs - including a collaboration with Daddy Yankee - that are being saved for future release.

Production

The artist explained that IDon is a mashup of electronic music, Rock, Dance, EDM and 90s music. Also, described the album as innovative and super-urban. The album is mainly produced by long-time working reggaeton producer Diesel, who also produced one of Don Omar's well known singles, "Salió El Sol." The album will also include addition production from Danny Fornaris, Echo and Effect-O. It was originally believed to also include album collaborations with Marcy Place, a bachata group founded by Don Omar. It was later confirmed that they would not be performing with Don Omar on his third studio album.

The video was finished with production on February 13, 2009, when it was announced that Don Omar had already concluded with filming. The video will feature Argentinean model Ingrid Grudke, who portrays a doctor who wants to perform a grand experiment transforming Don Omar into half-man, half-machine.
