Salsa King, but not King of Pop

Review Score: (4/10)
With all this crossover business happening lately, Marc Anthony's should have been the best one. He truly is an extremely talented individual compared to the rest of them.

His ballads in his crossover album, I think, are typical pop music standards that anyone could release. "I Need to Know" is a excellent song and misled us to think the rest of the album is as good. His Enlgish salsa song, "That's OK", is what Marc Anthony fans are used to. Salsa is his strength not pop. There really should have been more songs with that style.

I noticed that Emilio Estefan wrote a song on this CD. I don't know who told the Estefans that they are the authority in Latin-Style music, but the song doesn't work on any level. I wanted to like it, but there are too many things wrong it. Musically and vocally, it doesn't work.

A man with such incredible talent can do much better.
