Free Music Review: NUNCA FALLAS!
Hit: 5 Stars
Once again, Marc delivers the great salsa he is always expected to deliver. There is only one thing that bother's me; there are only eight tracks and at the end of the album, one wants more. However, I still give it five stars. Songs like "Tu Amor Me Hace Bien", "Volando Entre Tus Brazos" and "Lamento Borincano" are what really make this album special. The problems most people have is that Marc's classics are special to them; it is something most of his fans grew up with. That's why, whenever he drops an album that does not sound anything like his first 3 albums, everyone is quick to criticize him. Although, his original style is long gone, he still continues to make quality music; he is no Frankie Ruiz, but he is still the best of his time.
Valio La Pena (Jewl) Poster
Singer/songwriter Marc Anthony gets back to the basics here, rewarding his main fanbase by recording salsa versions of the Spanish-language pop ballads on his Amar sin Mentiras CD. Beyond "Lamento Borincano," the old folk-salsa standard by the legendary Puerto Rican songwriter Rafael Hernandez, there isn't anything new. The other seven tracks are simply horn-fueled and percussion heavy retakes. But even those who already have Amar can find new juice here. Valio La Pena vibrates with new sonic urgency as Anthony describes the risks sometimes necessary in finding romantic happiness. The pop version of "Ahora Quien" was dramatic and anthemic. Here, it's speeded up and filled out with melodic pianos and horns. Even "Escapemonos," the tepid duet with actress/singer Jennifer Lopez, gets a recharge in the salsa version thanks to percolating percussions. Anthony's strength is his strong, plaintive vocals. On ballads he's ok, but it's in fiery salsa tunes where the music and the vocals really complement each other. Did we really need two Anthony CDs? Probably not, but his hardcore salsa fans will appreciate the extra effort. --Ramiro BurrDance & DJ Music CDs
