Where are you right now?
I'm in Miami. It's my first day off in two months. I've been traveling like crazy. I'm going to L.A., then New York, the Middle East and Germany. I won't stop touring until Christmas.

Do you have a favorite country for your tour?
Not really. Believe or not, they stick you in the room wherever you go. It's the same thing.

Didn't you perform at a gay club in London?
Oh, yeah. I was at G.A.Y. I actually had a good time. It was my first time performing at a gay club. But I didn't know what to expect. You get nervous, you have this adrenaline, you're going to perform for 3,000 gay men—you don't know if they're going to be silent, if they're going to boo you.

I doubt they were going to boo you.
But you don't know. You truly don't know. But I loved it. It's funny, the owner called my manager and said, "We figured Enrique is probably going to say no...." And I said, "Yeah. Are you kidding me?" I know the gay audience is very loyal. The guy that I work with, produce all the records with, he's gay. The first person I called was him. I was like, "Man, guess what we're doing." He was like, "We gotta do it. It's going to be great." When I went on stage, they were singing so loud I couldn't hear myself. My ears were ringing for two days, I promise.

What songs do you have on your iPod?
You know what, lately I've been listening to a lot of albums that I grew up listening to. Anything from Tom Petty to Bruce Springsteen. Police to Pink Floyd. The other day I went to a Roger Waters concert. I also listen to ... what else? I listened to some Spanish artists. You wouldn't know who they are.

Say their name. I'll put it in anyway.
Tam Tam Go.
