Enrique Iglesias

Escape

Different from his usual style

Review Score:

(8/10)
This is a very good album as most of Enrique's albums have been (with the notable exception of "Cosas del Amor") however, there is a much different sound and feel to this album. A number of the songs have a disco and/or R&B rhytym to them. Generally I'm not a fan of disco, 70's sounding music or R&B for that matter, but the blend along with some Latin rhythms and Enrique's talented singing work well on this collection.

I find "Hero" both in English & Spanish to be particularly annoying (and dripping with sap) but then I suspect that this song isn't supposed to appeal to men anyway! However, all the other tracks are at least good and some quite good. The title track, "Escape", has been a radio hit and is probably the best song on the CD, but "Don't Turn off the Lights" is also very good - sounds good in Spanish as well! "I Will Survive" has that 70's disco sound reminiscent of the original track from the 70's by the same title - makes sense! "She Be the One" has a definite R&B almost Hip-Hop style to it - amazing how this guy can sing in different styles and make the songs work!

Enjoy!
