Description: Sexy heartthrob Enrique Iglesias returns with a slickly produced collection of rhythmic ballads ("Esperanza," "Cosas del Amor") and soft rocking sing-along tunes ("Desnudo," "Contigo"). Iglesias, who wrote six songs here, sounds more confident and in control than ever in this work produced by Rafael Perez-Botija. Ultimately, though, most of this stuff sounds like lightweight pop pap wrapped in lush arrangements, occasionally overly dramatic and consistently overproduced. The tunes go down nicely, but they're instantly forgotten once they're over. The only tunes into which Iglesias injects some notable fire are "Para de Jugar" and the R&B/funk-flavored "Dicen por Ahi." It hardly matters, however, to his main audience--mostly adoring female fans. Iglesias's matinee-idol looks and this sweet ear candy are all they need. --

ENRIQUE'S THIRD / ALL GOOD SONGS !!!
This cd has all good songs with good lyrics and soulful music. There's really not a bad song here just a cd full of hits, so i can't really pick a favorite. Probably the most monotonous song would be #8 Para de Jugar because it only has two small pharagraphs and the chourus is just repeated over and over again. The singles chosen out of this cd really stand out from the rest, but the title theme, #2 Cosas del Amor, is also a good song. He really starts to prove what he can do with his voice, especially in #6 Alguien Como Tu, where he holds a note out for a while. This is probably his cd where he shows that he's maturing in his lyrics and music. The success from this great cd prepares him for his crossover to the English market.
Stll Love This Cd
First off I like to say that I have known Enrique Iglesias since his first cd and own almost all of them expect Quizas {2002}which I have not bought to this day. But I will be adding it to my E.I. cllection and his remixes (1998) Enrique Iglesias's father Juilo Iglesias is a well known repescted singer who has been singing since the 70's and now his son to this day is a well respected singer like his father whos been singing since the middle 90's. This cd is not the original cd that I owned before. That one got badly sctrached that I had not choice to throw it away and get a new copy. I have a reprint copy which was reprinted in 2002 but thats okay I am just glad to have this wonderful cd from E.I. again which I think has so far been his best work with some of the nicest song like Esperanza and Para De Jugar which are 2 of my faves. I don't speak a lot spanish but I do understand it. But you don't have to speak spanish or just speak a lttle bit but just understand it so you can understand the betaiful words that Enrique puts into the betaiful songs of his cds.. Thank You other Enrique Fans.
The essence of Enrique
Enrique is the king of writing highly emotional songs and this cd proves it. almost all of the songs are very romantic like 'sirena', and 'contigo' and 'nunca te olvidare' although some are of heartbreak, they are so well written and sung. 'ruleta rusa' has a cool beat to it, different, spices up the cd a bit. and 'dicen por ahi' makes you feel soo bad for talking bad about someone. imagine if you talked bad about an ex beau and he found out...how would you feel?? this is his best cd by far, there are soo many great songs and lyrics. It's what Enrique's music is all about...emociones puras y profundas.
