Review Score:

(4/10)
I guess this album is really romantic if you like to hear a singer try to fit a bunch of wordsintoatinyspacelikethis without worrying about things like melody or whether it makes sense to fill every possible corner of the mix with strings and backing vocals. There's absolutely nothing with the heat of "Corazon Partio" on this self-indulgent effort. On the upside, "Cuando Nadie Me Ve" is a pleasant ballad, and "Quisiera Ser" is energetic in a Luismi sort of way. "Tiene Que Ser Pecado" is a spicy jazz number that's also worth a listen, at least until the inexplicable mountain of backing vocals greets you on the chorus. Overproducing a perfectly good song? Now that's a sin.
