Too Many Ballads

Review Score: (6/10)
Sorry, when I hear a Latin-American artist, my expectations are always that I'll buy an album which gets me shaking. The fantastic first single I Need To Know raised high hopes in me & alone motivated me to buy this album. The rest of the album isn't bad by any stretch, but does go the Julio Iglesias route which bores me in the end. I should have done my homework a bit more, but hey I love the first single. I also dig the Tina Arena ballad from The Mask of Zorro movie - now that IS something else. Celine Dion would be jealous. I never forgave Jennifer Lopez for the ballad No Ames on her debut album. Its presence here might be for increased album sale but doesn't get my vote as a quality measure. I realise I sound critical. I'm just disappointed in the overall content of the album, yet I can listen to most of the songs - but not the album the whole way through
