Free Music Notes for The Essential Gloria Estefan
Free Music Review: GLORIOUS GLORIA! !!!!!!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD set is above and beyond excellent. Now, I do wish that "Can't Forget You" and a remix of "Tres gotas de agua bendita" were included. But, the set list is great! I hope that as the years go by Gloria will continue to amaze usFree Music Review: Excellent collection.....BUT
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent collection of Gloria Estefan's greatest singles from their English debut "Dr. Beat" from 1984 to the present. It's missing a few hits like "Can't Forget You" "Seal Our Fate" and "Betcha Say That", but it's the most complete collection out there so far.
My only disappointment is that as a LONG TIME Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine fan, I've been longing for a release of their early material from their first 7 LP's from 1977 to 1983. There's so much good material in these LP's that deserve to be released on CD. Songs like "Me Enamore" "Baila Conmigo" "A Toda Maquina" "Dingui Li Bangue" "Sola" "Otra Vez" "Regresa A Mi" "No Sera Facil" "Luchare" "Toda Tuya".
It would be so cool to see these LP's released individually on CD with remastered sound and original packaging with great liner notes. But I would equally be delighted with a compilation of the hightlights from these years. I own all 7 of these LP's but I think all the fans would love to see a CD release. Perhaps when a comprehensive boxed set is released. Emilio if you happen to read this hope you'll take this into consideration, thanks!!
Free Music Review: Long overdue recollection
Hit: 5 Stars
Gloria Estefan (and Miami Sound Machine) achieved so many charting hits on many different genre charts including pop,dance,adult contemporary and latin that a 2 CD collection of her successes has been lkong overdue.
I'm glad that Sony BMG has finally taken Gloria into consideration on their "Essential" series and more so that they saw she needed 2 Cds as opposed to a single disc collection. Every possible charting single is included, with the rare exceptions of "Nayib's Song" and "Along Came You", which were both included to commemorate her children (Gloria wrote both songs for her son and daughter Emily). And as a bonus, they included Mylo's European mash-up smash "Doctor Beat".
What also makes this collection unique is that they included BOTH English and Spanish hits. I am soooo glad sony decided to do this as every CD released before this liked to segregate her languages. This CD really represents her music and doesn't limit itself to genres. Some might think mixing her traditional Cuban sones with her AC pop songs create odd results for the listener but if you like GLoria, you'll appreciate the variety.
One more shout out...THEY FINALLY recognized her forgotten Top 10 smash "Falling In Love (Uh Oh)". This has always been one of my favourites and its cool that it was finally recognized as a hit!
This album deserves 5 stars all the way..even if its missing "Can't Forget You" and her #1 Latin hit "Por Un Beso". If you love Gloria it will please you and will want this CD to have all the "single versions" of her songs. And if you don't know GLoria, this will certainly educate you and leave you wanting more of this amazing woman.
Free Music Review: What A Tracklisting!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is what a greatest hits should read like. I like how they split them up into dance and ballad discs too. A perfect treat while we wait for a new album of original tunes...Free Music Review: Great Collection
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this collection. This expands more then her greatest hits 1 and gh2. This collection though is missing the hits "Betcha Say That", Can't Forget You" and "Seal Our Fate" Some of the songs actually never charted on this collection such as "Go Away" I would have liked to have seen "Can't Forget You" on this collection since it reached the Billboard chart at number 43. Overall though it is nice. Now if only they will release a dvd of her hits.
