Description: If Ricky Martin is the party boy of Latin crossover pop, Enrique Iglesias is more a romantic traditionalist in the mold of dad Julio. Even his uptempo, lust-driven tunes, like this album's "Love 4 Fun" and "One Night Stand," are hardly the frantic sweatfests Martin provides.
Escape, Iglesias's first disc since his 1999 Top 40 breakthrough, is already a guaranteed success thanks to its first single, "Hero," which gained attention when he performed it on the September 2001
Tribute to Heroes. Title aside, this gooey love song isn't really fitting for its adopted purpose as a post-terror anthem ("You can take my breath away"?), but one imagines that won't make much difference. Iglesias is at his best when playing a little sly, like when he appropriates Nelly's "E.I." chant on "Don't Turn Off the Lights" or makes a barely veiled suggestion of what he
really likes about you in the opening lines of "She Be the One."

Reviews:
ENRIQUE'S FIFTH / A CD U WON'T WANT TO ESCAPE FROM !!!
This cd is so good i don't really know how to start. OK, my fave song is #7 Maybe because of its smooth lyrics and music and the great vocal performance. My least fave song is #6 Love 4 Fun because i feel the lyrics are kinda childish. This cd is great latin pop music with influences from electro/techno and acoustic sounds. If ur an Enrique fan from his previous cds and haven't gotten this one yet then u really should. And #1 Escape is the only single u've heard from this cd and u liked it, then also get this cd beacause it will get u moving just like the single. This is a cd u'll want to listen to over and over again.
I Don't Know Why Why... But I Love To See You Cry...
Gosh! I love this album! The BEST CD I have ever listen to. Very good music. If you ask what's my favorite song would be and I would pick "Love To See You Cry" because it is very touchful feeling and very beautiful background of music and good beats and very heavy bass. Perfect words in it. Your the BEST Enrique. I vote you a 5 stars! - Tyson Love from Robesonia, PA USA

Wow, Mr. Iglesias makes some of the most beautiful music to every come from the mouth of a person of Latin heritage. His voice is smooth like sleeping in silk boxers smothered in silk sheets. Yes I know that it sounds impossible but believe me he is that smooth. My favorite song, possibly in the whole world, is Hero. The english one not the spanish one because I can't understand that one. He reminds me of a young Cheech Marin.
