5.0 out of 5 stars
Better late than never., August 30, 2005
About half the songs on this album are from Anasol's 2002 South America-only release "Astros," including the Colombian hit singles "Sin Miedo a Caer" and "Voy Volando." This is as tasteful, groovealicious and polished as pop music in any language gets. The new single "Sentimiento" is more electronic and shows that Anasol is willing to follow her personal influences even if the results aren't anything akin to you'd hear on timid Latin pop radio or repetitive Hurban radio. Another great thing about Anasol's music is that her lyrics sound naturally sincere, not like someone striking a pose...(Thalia?) Example (from "Sin Miedo a Caer"): "si tu meta esta lejos de encajar en lo que buscan los demas"
The new, uptempo "Dame" contains one of the most intriguing romantic compliments I've ever heard: "Perfume Dali, es mi metafora de ti." Yup, these are not your typical "quieres/mueres, soy/voy, bailar/gozar" Spanish lyrics. And, in contrast to the ever more navel-gazing Shakira, Anasol writes in an extroverted way.
Image-wise, I honestly prefer the curly-henna-haired Anasol to the current blonde va-va-voom Anasol but either way she looks incredible; she could pass for 21.

A fine Spanish pop singer, December 21, 2005
For those who favor the sounds of Thalia, Paulina Rubio, and Shakira, you will definately want to pick up this cd, by the gorgeous and talented Anasol. She could be the next Paulina! She certianly has a great voice, better than most any other pop singer today in Spanish music. Anasol is not teen pop either, her music is more sophistocated, and already her music videos are getting aired. Great cd.

Move over Shakira, this girl is really Blonde!, December 3, 2007
This definitely an excellent buy. With a soaring voice and cheerful songs that are hypnotic to the ear this Colombian singer will even get grandma's feet atappin'. Her unique poppy and ballad style includes lyrics that are easy to understand, like 'Nace'.
