Mexican superstar Thalia has come a long way since her early '90s days as a thin-voiced Latin pop-tart. Her stellar 1997 album, Amor a la Mexicana, was a full-throttle assertion of her maturing talent, thanks in large part to va-va-voom production work from Emilio Estefan Jr. Things heat up even more on Arrasando, the singer¹s most focused collection to date. Thalia and Estefan blend salsa, rap, reggae, cumbia, and aggressive club beats into one irresistible mix. Just try to keep your feet still during the infectious rhythms of "Regresa a Mi," "Pata Pata," and "Siempre Hay Carino." Thalia proves equally adept at ballads, particularly on the majestic first single, "Entre el Mar y una Estrella." The sexy singer has already recorded English-language tunes for overseas release, and now that she¹s dating Sony president (and Mariah¹s ex) Tommy Mottola, crossover success seems only a few hip swivels away. --Joey Guerra

5.0 out of 5 stars Thalia es la reina del RITMO LATINO, June 5, 2000

By	"maibliss" (Manassas, VA) - See all my reviews

Hola a todos, queria aprovechar este foro para dar mi opinion de la nueva produccion de Thalia "Arrasando", debo admitir que este disco esta mejor que el anterior, y mucho mejor que "En Extasis". Los temas escritos por Thalia son bastante creativos y sin bien sus letras no son lo mas profundo del mundo, hay un par de temas que estan muy bien escritos (Arrasando y Reencarnacion). Ademas, salvo un par de canciones, todos los temas son de corte alegre y bastante bailables. Muchos han criticado los "covers" que ha incluido (Suerte en mi, Pata pata, y Tumba la casa), pero hay que admitir que estan muy bien hechos y tienen el sello personal de Thalia. Creo que estuvo muy bien que hayan incluido la cancion de Rosalinda al final porque es en mi opinion su mejor tema telenovelero despues de Maria Mercedes (Marimar y Ma la del Barrio son bastante simples) y ademas cierra con broche de oro el disco. Thalia ha tratado de utilizar la misma formula que le ha dado tanto exito en el pasado, y por es algunos temas suenan parecidos a lo que habia hecho antes (Quiero amarte=Ponle remedio, Menta y Canela=Saliva). Pero en general, "Arrasando" es un muy buen disco hecho para que la gente baile y se divierta. Es quiza el mejor disco de Thalia hasta la fecha.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Latin/a Fans!, June 14, 2000

By	Friends Of Thalia Team (F.O.T Team Int'l/USA) - See all my reviews

Already established in Latin America, Asia and Southern Europe, Thalia is now about to conquer the USA with her latest album "Arrasando"!
The pretty entertainer with the pleasant and jolly voice is produced by no less a person than Emilio Estefan (Miami Sound Machine, husband and discoverer of Gloria Estefan, producer of artists such as Ricky Martin,Shakira, Jennifer Lopez etc.) Compared to her 1997 release "Amor a la Mexicana" "Arrasando" also contains the typical Salsa ingredients, that greatly underline the "fire" of the sympathetic Mexican singer, but does, all in all, sound a little more "international". The album covers a broad range of musical styles from dance to rap, also containing a couple ballads. Most of the songs are contributed by the artist herself!
Her first single release "Entre El Mar Y Una Estrella" (engl. "Between the sea and a star"), a beautiful mid-tempo ballad, dedicated to Thalia's deceased friend, made it to the top of Billboard's latin charts and promises to become a huge hit everywhere else, if released!
Altogether "Arrasando" is a very vicacious album and contains a little something for every taste!

And for everyone who might be interested in my personal opinion as a fan:
AWESOME! Thalia's best album so far, although you just gotta love all her albums! I would be very glad to see her expand her worldwide potential to become totally continental!
