An Awesome, Effective Introduction to Latin Pop, January 21, 2004
This review is from: Confesiones (Audio CD)
I had recently relocated to Puerto Rico, and one of the things I was told prior to moving is to "get used to Latin music" because I was going to be immersed in it whether I liked it or not. Sure enough, at the airport, in the hotel, at the office, at the Walgreens, in my realtor's car, at Denny's (for heaven's sake)--I was neck deep in Latin music. But it took a cab ride one day to really steer me to the Latin sound's direction when the song "Antes" came on. Although I couldn't understand all of the lyrics, the singer's passionate rendering of the song clearly showed me what it was all about. It was during a courageous trip to the Latin section of a music store when I learned that Obie Bermudez provided the voice and genius to this very addicting lamentation of lost love. With some hesitation, I bought the CD despite my not knowing anything about the artist or any of his other songs. I was not disappointed. After listening to ditties like "4:30 a.m.," "Me Canse De Ti," and "4 de Julio," not only was I hooked on Obie, but on Latin music as a whole. That purchase ushered others, sending me ears first into the fantastic, rewarding world of Latin music.

Obie is great!!!, August 1, 2003
This review is from: Confesiones (Audio CD)
Obie has the voice of an angel, one of those voices that you'll never forget. Being a great musician and song writter Obie really knows what he is doing. The songs in this album are great,one of my favorites is "Antes".The latin sound is amazing and Obie sings with so much passion that is almost unvelievable. Confesiones is a trully meaningful album.
